>The Nazis shot people in the head for extra-marital sex.

I can find zero statements outside this comment on HN backing up or even implying any sort of punishment relatively close to this absolutely absurd statement. Nazism wasn't some cartoonishly evil villain. Propping it up as such is dangerous because it makes people see it as an absurd historical event that is too crazy to be repeated.

As far as I can tell, the Nazis were still using https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_f%C3%BCr_das_..., which punishes adultery with up to 6 months in prison, but only if someone (presumably the cheated spouse) files a suit.
