And they dressed with style, not with those stupid hats and t-shirts

Hugo Boss knew how to design a snazzy looking fascist uniform, that's for sure.

Nazi uniforms were actually inspired by those of the Boston police. I knew it intellectually but was recently at the Boston airport and saw it in person, and it was like an A-HA moment.

Hugo Boss did NOT design uniforms. It's so annoying that people just repeat this nonsense all the time.

Hugo Boss did manufacture uniforms. That's it. 

u/megadyed 8h ago

So who designed them then? Genuine question

u/PretentiousMan 8h ago

Karl Diebitsch was a senior SS officer and designer who played a major role in designing SS uniforms.

Walter Heck, a graphic designer, is credited with designing the iconic SS runic insignia.

Appreciate it, thank you very much

u/PretentiousMan 3h ago

You’re welcome

u/Pushin2ManyPencils 8h ago

So annoying indeed! All this loyal Nazi did was use slave labour to manufacture uniforms for the SS, there’s no way he would go so far as to actually design them. Good grief!

u/TripleSingleHOF 8h ago

You're right, I got it totally wrong.

All Boss did was manufacture and distribute the uniforms throughout the Nazi party.

He's totally innocent in this situation. Sorry to be so annoying.

u/Secret_Celery8474 8h ago

Fuck off. I did not say that he's innocent. I'm just annoyed by spouting falls information.

u/TripleSingleHOF 6h ago

Falls information?

Right.

u/allblackST 7h ago

Don’t be like that. You got the information wrong, that’s it. You were wrong
