I love how suits were cut back then.
I'd love to see pictures if any of you have an old suit! They certainly look nicer in my opinion than new ones.
Hell, suits from earlier eras too. Especially the early 1800's styled cut tailcoats.
Used to daily wear a pair of Harness boots for about two years until they started to give the feet pain. And I got tired of the salt lines that they'd get in winter.
Yep, and don't forget the war-crimes the allies did which are always ignored. Fire bombing dresden and killing thousands of civilians, raping 8 year old girls in Berlin, killing more civilians. Sending the Germans into diaspora after the war. Note the word "war" that stuff happens sadly..

Yes it is, that old Prussian militarism in the WW1 style is awesome, I was thinking about using a picture of the Kaiser in military garb as my avatar but figured some uneducated person might think "uuauaaa german that mean nazi me smash all german evil , must fight for freedom!"
I find the Wehrmacht and many of it's generals interesting, people like Rommel who were loyal to GERMANY not Nazism. People who were even officers in WW1, and who obviously hated Hitler in the fact they often tried killing him. And I think the Waffen-SS is also an interesting military force.

Hey, the Germans have always had the best looking uniforms in both WW1 and WW2. I prefer Imperial Germany though, I get less crap about having things with them. Being there was nothing "evil" about the German Empire, no more or less evil than Great Britain or any other victorian age Empire.
I might have to consider using it on one of my other hats then, I have one which comes close to fitting but is a tiny bit too small. It did fit better 2 years ago, so maybe the felt just tightening up on me
