Yeah, that was odd. Even if he means the real Aryans, they were from Persia.

Except the Aryans weren't supposed to be Japanese. And Super Saiyans don't have blue eyes. (Except in very early anime episodes), but it's supposed to be green/teal.
Anyway...

Vegeta (Communist Russia) joins forces with Kuririn, Gohan, Piccolo, and Goku (U.S.) to defeat Freeza (Germany).
So, do your parents know you're smoking weed?

I'm thinking that what he meant was that the Japanese were our enemies and allied with the Germans during WWII. However, it wasn't the type of alliance where they were a team. It was more, "Hey, we know you want to conquer this area of the world while we want this other part. We'll leave you alone to do your thing if you let us do ours." I highly doubt that the Nazis considered the Japanese to be racially equal to them.

I love how Saiya-jins and Namekians are both Jewish.
*The filler scene where Vegeta sees Super Saiya-jin Goku on namek*
Vegeta: "Kakarotto!, you're a Super Saiya-jin!, Mazal Tov!"
