Surely you mean "grammar" and "nazis"...

One might possibly excuse the apostrophe in "nazi's" on the grounds that it's an abbreviation (for "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei"). However, the word should certainly be capitalised, since it's a proper noun.

I think it was intentional; that's what makes it a joke. Good one!

I'm with issybird...I think it was intentional, tongue-in-cheek, whatever. Having read the story, though, I have to say I think it was a fair call.
