Hi,

i think you are stuck on an old prejudice. Rammstein is a band which for 
sure has made some lyrics with, maybe, mistakable parts. Their sound can 
be interpreted as a military-techno-alternative-rock-Mix. Same Style of 
lyrics you could also find in songs like "Die Flut" by "Joachim Witt", 
well known artist from the "Neue deutsche Welle"-Time and i dont know 
anybody who would say Witt is a Nazi. 

Also some of their videos have some "Leni-Riefenstahl"-Style. But this 
style you could see today also in commercials for shower-gel or cars.

Rammstein by themself state always that they are more "left" than "right" 
and they are not Nazi or Neo-Nazi. They have also made a song called 
"Mein Herz schlägt links" ("my heart beats left"), which is amongst 
other things an answer to the above mentioned prejudice. 

regards, Jens
