Hitler exercising Goering

A.H.: "Nice boots...are they Tony Lamas?"

Hugo Boss (he designed and made the Nazi/Gestapo uniforms)

Thanks! (I had a pair of Tony Lama boots back when C&W bars were popular) LOL

The Nazis certainly were evil, but they had good fashion sense. Look up the Boss designs for the Gestapo uniforms on google. Not many people know about it, but that's how Boss became a world class tailor. The SS uniforms were designed to give you goosebumps!

I just went there. Holy Moly, you're right!

Yeah, the Nazis were bad. But my great-grandfather was from Freiburg, Germany, and their 20th-century society fascinates me.

My grandfather was in the Polish airforce, he came to the UK in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. He met my nan at the UK airbase. That's how my mum was created! So I'm only alive because Hitler invaded Poland. Freaky or what?

Boss designed everything. Did you see the sketch of Hitler waving? Wonder if that was in Vogue 1934? :-)

No, I missed that one. And, of course, I can't locate it now! Grrr.

You're possibly right. It DOES look like a magazine's illustrations!
(Wasn't ignoring you....it was my bedtime...I keep odd hours). :)

That's OK don't worry I'm about 5% sensitive. Can't you tell :-) and the time zone is different? Yes designers make both the haute couture illustrations and the clinical technical designs. Hitler probably also demanded the illustrations for propaganda usage (birthday cards etc... haha)
