I have seen the Wall (my mother saw it when it came out and hates PF with a passion for it, I can't even listen to them in her presence). The Wall, however, points out the fallacies with this view as part of a lifestyle and belief.
This song suggests that normal, sane people should start employing nazi-esque techniques, which is mildly offensive.
However, as a general rule, I don't mind WW2 references. The one in Your Possible Pasts (cattle trucks, like those used to ship Jews and others to concentration camps) is brilliant. As a matter of fact, I use WW2 references on occasion in my poetry (a lot of which resembles the Final Cut).
My beef is not with referencing WW2 (more specifically, the Holocaust), but with suggesting that people ought to emulate portions of it.

Great song, anyway.
