The Nazis were horrible despicable monstrous people...but god DAMN did they have a good fashion sense.

I mean come on, how badass were those uniforms they wore, with the hats that had the eagle on the front and the bright red swastika armband and the overcoats with the Iron Cross around the collar. They had a hell of an aesthetic.

Well when you have a fashion designer create them for ya.....
The German Nazi's and Hitler were experts at using image to advance their cause. Taking near destitute and broken down young men and putting them into sharp and strong look attire that has command and presence was part of using imagery to delude the masses.

@MethDozer That's a really good point. The hopelessness following the loss of World War One combined with the anger associated for unjustly being blamed entirely for the conflict, not to mention the German economic depression, probably had people feeling pretty deplorable. The contrast between that and being given slick looking uniforms and nice haircuts and being granted honored positions in the military probably made them a lot more loyal to the Nazi party and less likely to question their despicable cause.

@BlueMetalChick Yep you take people who feel like nothing and you make them into anything then you pretty much have won them. Sorta playing on the rags to riches fantasy.

It's kinda like the old saying " The suit makes the man".

My professor actually said that the Nazis had the best uniforms and one trigglypuff said that saying it was horrible, and people told him to shut up. I mean Hugo Boss designed them!!!

@BlueMetalChick I bet. My granny lived across a Ukie Church. On the weekends they would have bingo and the nuns and congregation women would cook food in the basement and sell it. The stench of onions and cabbage could be smelled for blocks but god damn was it some of the best food one could ever have.

Honestly Polish, Ukranian, and German food is my favorite. It's so good but so under the radar of most. Even in food they get no respect.

@MethDozer It's not my favorite but it's definitely something I enjoy the hell out of. And it's easily the most affordable among the various ethnic groups of food I like. You can get a full meal, drinks, and dessert at a Polish, Ukrainian, or even Russian deli for ten bucks. They have chocolate eclairs the size of a bread loaf for fifty cents and six ounces of pork costs like two bucks.
