Actually, we have about as many Nazi fuckwits by percentage as the US. The difference is that we don’t let them leverage 30% into an electoral majority.
To backstab someone as a metaphor for betrayal is as common in German as it is in English. So while the origin of the Dolchstoßlegende and this float are linguistically the same, I don’t think this is a play on the Dolchstoßlegende.
Edit: I’m confident that they explicitly used a spear instead of a dagger to avoid a direct comparison.
Here’s another one of the Carnival floats:
Oh Germany, you really get us. Can we let Germans vote in the next US election? After all, we’re already letting Russia take a hand.

And again I call for Germans to vote in our general election. :)

Of course, It Can’t Happen Here.

I’m guessing it’s a play on the Dolchstoßlegende? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth

No, no it isn’t. Read about that topic, and reflect why this has nothing to do with the float.
