Actually made the Nazi uniforms (for those who may not be aware).

I mean they made them like most other clothing companies in Germany at the time. They didn’t design them like a lot of people believe.

Yeah, not downplaying the shit that he did but was just adding that they didn’t design them like a lot of people think

Not everyone will know that bit of trivia. Some people might have a scant awareness of the brand at all.

tbh, that's about the only thing I know about them, fashion brands aren't really my thing

So I don’t shop at Alexander McQueen (why?), I don’t even know what that means

Awful, horrific movement and human beings, but ngl, the uniforms were slick.

You can thank Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck they basically designed all the uniforms

The aesthetics of the Third Reich were specifically studied to be stylish and attractive because they knew that the good old "cool factor" would lure in people.

If you want to indoctrinate or drown your people in propaganda, what better way of doing it than looking absolutely dripped out?

It's no coincidence, it was all very intentional and researched.
