Damn shame such evil people had to make such awesome fashion associated with them.You're both right:
Also Photos that Shook the World V2: Nazi Fashion Edition
Edited:
I think we can agree that the German people as a whole, were mostly not guilty. But there was definitely a strong minority of that country that was.Honestly, it all comes down to what part of the military and the Nazi party they were. If they were just part of the Luftwaffe, the kriegsmarine or the Wehrmacht, you were probably just an average soldier. However, if you were part of the SS-Totenkopfverbände, the SS-Sicherheitspolizei, the SS-Einsatzgruppen, or the SS Medical Corps (they gassed people, false title), you were probably absolute scum.
The oldest members of the party, whom had joined it before 1930, were called the "Alter Kämpfer", or "older fighter", tended to be the worst Anti-Semitics. They also tended to be the Amtsleiter, or those who personally answered to Adolf Hitler, and served as both his advisor as well as his body guards. I could go on, but not every German was "innocent".
After WWII, the American and Soviet governments ran a propaganda campaign called "Denazification", in which the guilt of the Holocaust was spread equally to the whole of the German people. German civilians and war veterans were often forced to view the work of their "Fuhrer" by touring concentration camps and working to bury the victims, and even in some cases to exhume mass graves.
Though I doubt Hitler would have been put in office if he had run on the campaign of "kill the Jews, invade the USSR", which he really wanted. But he was put there because he promised economic prosperity and bringing back "national honor".

World War One you could say is my "favorite" war; that link is much appreciated <3

Better in looking ugly yes.Soviet trench coats are better.
They are from the Boer Wars.

That is the most fabulous pose in the Nazi party.

Always found it weird when I see Hitler doing the full salute in pictures when most of the time I see him in film, he's doing it this way as if he's raising his hand up for the teacher to call on him,

Well they did have Hugo Boss making the uniforms for them.
-
Those guys are pretty badass looking with their otherwise extremely formal clothing.The South African War:
-
Boer commando. Ass rape Inc. pretty much. Most of them could head shot the British on a large distance which had little training and still used old tactics. Wide use of guerilla tactics (used to travel and survive).

Liveleak imbedding doesn't work, but this is another perspective on the war in Afghanistan.

What is this?

Russian Green Lantern?

A hand.

That's actually not as strange as it looks. Ukrainians, and Cossacks also, had been fighting for their independence from Russia for the better part of 100 years by 1941. Yeah the Nazis weren't fond of them, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend... I guess.
The man lying down stroking his horse is apparently a Cossack in the service of the Third Reich, which is about as strange as Islamic Nazi's.
What i really like about this picture is how happy the horse looks. It probably didn't live either :(
-
I really like those pictures where they have soldiers that would normally be fighting each other, helping each other instead. Like the one where the wounded Soviet conscript had a flask of water handed to him by a standard Nazi foot soldier.
-
Gangrene.
What is this?

-
To add to this, the British recruits at the time also had poor health due to the poverty that was rife in Britain at the time.
-
That's Goebbels.

American dead from the Philippine-American War

They were stuffed into boxes?

edit: Maybe not so related to the thread actually since it is a painting and stuff, but I was really impressed after hearing that Hitler was an artist. I have no proof for this since I almost slept through all my history lessons, but if Hitler would have been accepted to art school he maybe wouldn't have done all what he did.
-
Well now I can see why he was considered a failure as an artist. His sense of perspective was all over the place.
-
Maybe, but he clearly had talent, perspective can be learned.

meh, it's a bit too bland for my tastes, I like a little sturm und drang when it comes to art

Gotta agree, he had talent. Sure, it's bland and all, but hey, not anyone can do that. With more practice, comes more talent.
-
Talent is more natural ability.
Practice feeds into skill.

Anyway, to break the WW2 Nazi combo, here's a gruesome photo of the Kennedy Assassination (Warning: graphic)

Actually, he was rejected from art school because he was unable to draw human figures.
-
Maybe this will be the next topic in this thread. I really like the whole JFK thing.
-
He looks like a fallout 3 character in the one on the right (the face I mean)
-
Oh the days when History actually programmed historical, factual stuff.
-
Here's a picture of a woman with some children on the way to a gaschamber in Auschwitz.
-
What is the whole conspiracy about anyway? Is it even slightly credible or like the Paul is dead conspiracy
-
Ah, this thread makes me remember what a sick world we live in.
-
the world isn't sick
Edited:
the great events far outnumber the bad, it's senseless to judge everything by its negative qualities
-
Well, the whole Fallout universe is set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic 1950s-1960s (in the 2030s I think), so yeah.
-
Rather interesting that a mass murderer couldn't draw humans.
-
Those comments are fucking pathetic
Jesus christ, brainwashed idiots.

Should do your research before posting, late 2100's to 2300's depending on the game
