I'm not going to fault someone for not knowing an extremely niche detail about the nazis. In fact, it's a little weird how detailed the knowledge is coming from people that supposedly hate nazis.
It’s probably the third most recognizable Nazi symbol, after the swastika and the double lightning bolts. There’s even a comedy sketch about it. You might have seen it. The punch line is “are we the baddies?”.
It's a skull and crossbones. You're talking about whether a person has sufficient familiarity with Nazi symbolism to distinguish one of the several skull and crossbones designs Nazis used from one they didn't. I personally wouldn't have spotted it as a Nazi symbol but that's because I'm not especially fascinated with Nazi symbolism.
