They ought to still be able to include the reference to the SS troops; it's not like being a Nazi nowadays is considered politically correct. Most viewers probably wouldn't get it, and would only know that whatever happened to Duchess's family and creator had something to do with soldiers, and must have involved some sort of armed conflict. There's certainly enough of that now, that kids of every age cannot avoid it. The older and more educated viewers would know which soldiers Duchess was referring to, specifically. I don't recall which animated series it was, but years ago there was a character, an elderly man, on this show who had the concentration camp ID numbers tattooed on his wrist, and when asked about it by one of the kid characters, said it was a reminder to him and all the world never to let something terrible happen again, and that was that. I wonder how many viewers(and I cannot remember that show to save my neck)knew what he meant. I think it would be a good way to clue people in as to why Duchess acts the way she does, to show that people(or Imaginary Friends)aren't necessarily born or created "evil" or "mean", but can become that way due to their circumstances, and to show that even those we consider to be the worst of the worst can still harbor a softer side, somewhere.
