But using memes with real Nazi for this, in Germany, is too much. And they got a fine, not a prison term. Fair enough.

Memes are not critique, they are often (as in this case) just an attack on the personal level. If they are harmless, no one would take them seriously - but calling someone a nazi is an insult in Germany, so everyone who is offended by it, can sue.
Germany also has more serious penalties for calling someone a Nazi, specifically.
I guess the article conveniently skipped over that detail.
