Erika was a popular WW2 German marching song about a type of flower that also doubles as a woman’s name. It’s gotten a bit of popularity because it’s been included in several video games. Internet Nazis probably boosted it to make memes and here we are now
Just gotta say, there's actually a lot of scholarship about how referring to everything German during WWII as "Nazi" is actually a way to divorce "Nazi" Germany from Germany in general. The Nazis were, well, German, and it was Germany, not just "the Nazis" that invaded Europe and committed the Holocaust. Nazi Germany should be seen as a continuum with Imperial Germany and the post war West German state, not some fundamental break. Often using Nazi and other verbage helps to obscure the fact that it was Germans and the German state, not some amophorus group of "Nazis," that did these horrible acts.
EDIT: You'll often see the result of this kind of language when people say shit like "Yeah the Nazis were bad but the German Army wasn't all Nazis so they're actually cool, the SS did bad stuff but the average German soldier was just a good patriot." They feel comfortable saying these things because Nazi is bad but these guys weren't "Nazis" so they can actually be good when they're slaughtering Roma and Jews and Slavs. It's important to normalize that it wasn't "the Nazis" alone responsible for the atrocities of WWII in Europe, but Germany and the Germans who lived in it (amongst others of course).
Hey hey now. Every nation in Europe contributed to the SS. Volunteers, not conscripts. Several nations didn't even wait for that and raised their own forces to be used for oppression and genocide. Serbia, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Slovakia, the list goes on. Let's not let them pretend that "ze Churmans" did it all and let them off scot-free.
Between Soviet withdrawal and the Axis advance, several towns and cities in the Baltic states and Ukraine found the time to hold pogroms of their own initiative.
