Harleyman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Fancy dress should not be taken that seriously. If I go out dressed as a pirate it does not mean that I am about to begin attacking ships or boats. Oh jolly good then! In that case I'll go dressed as Jack the Ripper, complete with bloodstained knife and artificial human kidney dangling from my coat pocket when our local Womens Club host their next Open House Fancy Dress Evening Tasteless is as tasteless does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Would you call a concentration guard's uniform "sexy" if you were in Auschwitz circa 1944? Why do you think the SS changed their uniforms post haste as the Reich died! Himmler ditched his!

I find it very interesting I went to a fancy dress party dressed as the devil. I guess that some posters here would have had me shot for that judging by the comments.

Valkyrie Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Good post Drone! Research is the key. I advocate debate. The Nazis 'branded their image and although some aspects appear cultural appealing, they were................make up your own mind based upon history/research:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking, crusader, Romans the list is endless. Most if not all armies from around the world have done terrible things to civilians at some point in history.

Good reason to think that he's a figment of man's imagination. The SS however were no figment of imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very interesting Take a short trip across the channel and visit the French village of Orardour sur Glan. You'll see some of the handiwork the SS did in 1944. Look inside what's left of the village church. Men, women and children burned to death after being locked inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
