    There was a pretty extensive study done on this around the early 1940’s: findings were that punching, while not necessarily a bad thing to do to Nazis, is typically followed by the undesirable side effect of the Nazi in question getting up following the punch.

    The experiment included quite a few alternative methods of interacting with Nazis that resulted in much better outcomes. Given the technological advances we’ve made since the 1940s, I think it’s time we revisited the study using modern tools. We can never have too much peer review!
