The sentence "You can say you to me" makes perfect sense to you!

In german it has a sort of sence.  Tongue
Your pronunciation of "Panzergrenadiere", "Luftwaffe" or "Sturmgeschütz" sounds pretty funny, too.Cool (If you are not a german)

It should be 'Rattewaffe' but then it's still only translated as 'Rat force', which doesn't make much sense.

Never heard this words. (Maybe not used in my region)
"Kacknase" could be a light abuse like dumb-ass but never heard this word, but Ratte(n)waffe makes no sence.
I rather think you missunderstand them and think that you heard Ratte(n)waffe.

RatteWaffe refers to a group of Wehrmacht players that used to dodge any game that they could not win, playing only easy ones and avoiding confrontation. Much like rats. They decided to, aptly, call themselves the RatteWaffe because of this.

kacknase and ratte(n)waffe means nothing because no one uses it. They are unpopular or are just two german words that were put together.

so it makes absolutily no sense Wink

And in german there are two different kind of "you"s

On is the more stiff "Sie" that you would say for example to your boss and the other "you" would be to your bro's "du"

Vamos a la playa usted!

Btw, it is Rattenwaffe, not Rattewaffe. The last one is not even a proper word, while the first could atleast be a derogatory term for a weapon or Luftwaffe.

But everyone who was around when Smokaz started using the term knows what it refers to.
