Jerry Heil
It’s worse than you might think. Jerry was what Allied soldiers called German soldiers and Nazi Germany in general during World War II.

Idk if you’re being /s as Civility, but Jerry is a lesser offense, compared to Heil…
Tis bad optics, Civility…

For sure. If her stage name was Jane or Joey Heil that would still set the dogs barking while say, Jerry Henderson wouldn’t.
But taken together I do think her whole stage name being “Heil Nazi Soldier” instead of simply “firstname Heil” is worse (and less plausibly deniable), and helps explain why she might have chosen that otherwise innocuous firstname.
