The so-called "Nazi medal" on it is a Iron Cross and while German isn't "Nazi" but rather was established back in 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars by Wilhelm III of Prussia and was adopted by Germany in the 1870s. On Facebook he said he picked it because it symbolized bravery (it was typically awarded for bravery in battle) not because of any supposed Nazi-connection (he gave similar reasons for the other insignia on his jacket).
