The huffpost headline is 100% correct and accurate regardless of the crews political leanings. The flag that flew above that submarine (when it wasn't submerged) was the swastika. That makes it a nazi sub.

My own grandfather served in the Luftwaffe from 1939-45. He was certainly no nazi, just a conscripted farmer but the 88mm gun he operated, like that submarine, existed only to serve the nazi cause. That makes them nazi weapons and it is completely accurate and proper to refer to them as such.
