Uh.  The plural, non-possessive form of a word (such as "Nazi") generally
does not include an apostrophe.

Notable exception - when forming the plural of the name of a letter, the
apostrophe is used:

        I wanted to make sure I dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's.

That's English grammar of course.  But if you wanted to make the case that
"Nazi" is actually a German word, you'd be on even shakier ground, as that
language uses apostrophes neither to indicate plural nor possession!
