no, sorry Tarantino but the Apache were a major part of the Southwest not Kentucky or Tennessee where Aldo apparently grew up. The Dine.
I guess i see why QT went with the Apache Tribe title, because of their ruthlessness towards their enemy, and their fighting techniques. No Fear. he probably liked the certain ring to the moniker too.
"Say Auf Wiedersehen to your Nazi balls"!
Just to play devil's advocate, we could surmise that the Apache nickname is given to him by a previous unit he was with or another comrade, or even in boot camp... and was probably given largely based on the "ring to it". It probably wasn't chosen based on geographical accuracy concerning where he's from.
sharethe film makes points about their enemies giving them their nicknames, so it's more likely Apaches are simply the most famous type of Native American, thus the Nazis labeled him as that
shareAlso there is a pretty big nod to a German literary figure that was an Apache. When the Germans are playing "Who am I" one of the cards is "Winnetou" Most Western audiences would have no idea who that is, but there was a German series of books written in the late 19th century about an Apache protagonist named Winnetou. Even during Nazi Germany these books remained popular, so it can be said that Germans had a certain respect for the idea of an Apache and their warrior culture as well as "savage noble" allure. Calling him Aldo the Apache was therefore almost a term of respect.

shareThis sounds like a stupid complaint. Well more stupid than we usually see these days.
