Not just that though. The whole film centers around cinema, or at least images in the cultural context. The part most directly divorced from the cinema plot has
nazis absolutely terrified of the golem myth
former conscript who waged a terror campaign against nazis
a Jewish American re-enacting ⚾️ baseball- im not just being cheeky, the reenactment and the other basterds calling it entertainment is important
the swastika carved into the guys forehead as an inversion of the power of the symbol
the "heroic german soldier" dying an absolutely unglorified death and then his subordinate immediately telling the basterds what they wanted to know, because he just watched the mythos of the heroic German soldier get destroyed

There's a very intentional 3/4ths second shot right after the first baseball bat hit to the head. The Nazi is still alive, actually conscious, and has his hands loosely stuck forward and is shaking. That's the giveaway that your line here was the conscious intent.
