Talking to Entertainment Weekly, “Seinfeld” writer and producer David Mandel revealed the Soup Nazi episode almost included a dark twist: The Soup Nazi character might’ve been an actual Nazi. Going down a river and seeing lots of young boys with blue eyes from experimentation with the soups — it was a full coming together of soup and Nazi. Considering the Soup Nazi was based on an actual person, Ali “Al” Yeganeh, the decision to drop the Nazi storyline was definitely for the best. In a previous conversation with The Huffington Post, “Seinfeld” writer Spike Feresten recalled how Jerry Seinfeld was berated and denied service when he actually tried to order soup from the real-life, so-called “Soup Nazi.”If an actual Nazi scene had been included, who knows how bad that visit could’ve gone? We’re guessing it would’ve been far less pleasant than a few swear words and a quick “no soup for you.”
