They simply sell these prop items; they’re not experts of the film, I don’t think; thus, they’re shoe-horning the Nazis into their description, probably with a vague idea of the general plot, how Merrin is introduced in the company of passing-through Nazis. And on a similar note, it’s evident already that the Nazis and British soldiers are presented as a parallel.

The mention of the Turkana may or be not be something they genuinely thought enough about before suggesting it. As a suggestion of what happened, I still think it totally adds up — Jomo for the soldiers’ murders, and another tribesman for Francis’ murder.

And the cross — A Christian cross — not sacred…? 😛 It’s arguably in the center of an ancient church. It had to have been a sacred cross, as with everything else found in the church itself, all the fine artwork and artchitecture; it was a sacred place, even if it wasn’t meant as a house of worship… it was still a church. It was sacred even to the thieves who valued it enough to loot from it, and from the altar on which it sat.

M.I.K.E.
