Tell a Jewish person how the Germans were so stylish
your thumbnail says "secret". Bro, it aint a secret, it is EXRREMELY well known
Hey Antonio, you made a similar video entitled :Why were the Nazis so stylish!
Hey, I dunno if someone else has reported this or not but someone has been making copycat accounts of you and has been tryna scam people
Hey RMRS, good vudeo but the symbol used by Nazis was Hooked Cross & not our Sacred SWASTIKA. Kindly trim that part or update that information is incorrect.

those SS uniforms still look great
true
Yeah the blood stains went great with the iron cross. This is disturbing...I mean...they would look better with M9 projectile holes in them though...Yeah..

The modern German uniforms look like crap.
Yeah it's called liberal fashion. Its really just full if dumb ideas and so called (art)
Very sharp
It looks better than all modern style
modern style is just designer brands seeing how much bs they can get away with. Foolish people buy anything just because of the name.
It's not just the uniforms. Actually anything you see that is German made is stylish. Cars, kitchen appliances etc., etc

Getting a historical perspective on style and symbols is important to understand timeless style. You need to make more of these videos.
This is noted. Thanks David!
Q) Why did the uniforms look good?
A) Hugo Boss
for the last time, he wasnt the designer, only the distributor
@@WatchmyPlaylist. Karl Diebitsch (artist) and Walter Heck (graphic designer).
The Hugo Boss company was one of the companies that produced (not designed) these black uniforms for the SS.
Yes I was going to add it was Hugo Boss. I don't think I will ever buy one of his company's items.
@@user-kw5lk7kg2o like the mafia in America, Hugo making uniforms was “strictly business”
Q: why weren’t you paying attention!
Im glad you were bold and willing enough to post this video. As I'm smart enough to see this is about fashion, understanding enough to not get offended and interested enough to soak in the information objectively and enjoy the video.
👍
Why is it "bold" to share these simple well known facts
I'm pretty sure this was posted already, I remember seeing it in the past
Who would be offended by this?
@@VEE727 a lot of people act offended at the mere mention of nazi’s having a style. I’ve seen this first hand despite broaching the topic the same way as it was here
I asked myself the same question @@baron7755 however I understand where he/she is coming from. The internet is easily triggered these days that the premise of the video will be missed by a mile once they see certain references.
Love these history videos. The Germans had arguably the most modern camouflage patterns for their time, especially the SS. The modern German flecktarn camo is inspired from the SS dot pattern
There was a '70s article concerning a hard-drinking ex-US Army captain, who was a regular in a bar. Apparently, during the war, he complained about the lack of white camouflage for his men. As fate would have it, one day he saw SS troops skiing downhill wearing their white camouflage, and ordered his men to open fire. During a minor lull, they realized they were hearing the wounded screaming in English, after most were already dead. (The captain was never informed that any US unit was ever issued white winter camouflage.). His men took out almost a company of fellow GIs by mistake, the captain blamed himself and was wracked with guilt thereafter----and that's why he drank.
@@elultimo102 as far as I'm concerned, it was actually more common for German Army units to be issued white winter camouflage (or at least just as common as the SS). They had these reversible jackets (one side being white, the other Splittertarn for Army units and something like Oakleaf camouflage for SS ones). But I guess a lot of this information has surfaced with the internet, so that could have been a rumor during the war and in the 1970's. I don't doubt friendly-fire incidents like that happened, though!
And yeah, I would say there's no doubt the Germans had the most advanced camouflages of their time. Reverisble jackets/tunics (combinations of winter/summer, summer/fall, etc.), camouflaged pullover smocks, helmet covers, and a plethora of patterns - with the SS having like ~10 different ones. The U.S. only used them in the Pacific, and they only had one pattern. Other countries had some patterns, but never as widely used as the Germans. And yes, many of these patterns hold up ridiculously well to this day, for being that old (there are videos here on UA-cam where people test their effectiveness, compared to other patterns)!
@@AlphaChinoz I'm surprised your comment hadn't gotten you 24 hr ban like mine did. You know, to protect the community and all.
@@kevinbautsch I've never been banned on UA-cam, just sticking to stuff like this has worked fine (as in non-political, just historical facts about clothing and whatnot).
If I write anything political, I'm careful with my wording. My account is over 10 years old as well, newer accounts are way more prone to being "supervised" by AI.
I've been banned on Facebook and Instagram, it probably has to do with the moment you write anything deemed "questionable" or someone reports your comment, then you're more or less doomed.
And many people think their comments have been removed, but in reality they've just been "hidden" the same way obvious spam is hidden. If one chooses "newest comments" instead of "most relevant" or whatever it's called, and then scroll all the way to the original comment you're looking for, you can see all the hidden replies as well.
It's very annoying and frustrating, but there's not really any way around this...
I met with a woman named Vera two weeks ago. She's in her mid 90's now. She was in the league of german girls and remember seeing Hitler. She never got to shake his hand, but she attended rallies with more than 200k attendants.
Poor thing didn't get to shake his hand. I feel so bad for her. 😢
Vera is very fortunate
This has got to be amongst the most fascinating fashion history videos on UA-cam. Fantastic research & delivery! Really appreciate all the time you put into this one. Keep up the great work!
Very bold of you. I believe this is the only video that has stayed on topic and not divulged into bashing.
Regardless of which side of the fence you are on, just want to say I appreciate your comment.
I mean, when studying ancient Rome, do you really want to hear all the blah, blah, blah? I mean
it's history. .......if I understood your comment correctly.
That's because a specific tribe and their tools like the ACLU go after anyone who doesn't condemn a specific country.
Even Tom Cruise complemented nazi uniforms while filming Valkyrie.
Nobody seems to remember, or care, that in the 1930's Hugo Boss began to produce uniforms for the Nazi Party. Boss would eventually supply the Nazi German government with military uniforms, resulting in a large boost in sales.
And Coco Chanel was hooking up with nazi officers. No one seems to care.
And Coco Chanel was dating nazi officers. No one seems to care about that.
My reply disappeared twice. So we can talk about what Hugo Boss did but not about Coco Chanel?
Or, how about Volkswagen? It doesn't matter, though. All electronics require cobalt, which is only mined using slave labor, so if you're reading this, you're supporting slavery.
And VW made military vehicles for the German Army and used slave labor.
love this kind of history video mixed with style knowledge. Nice one Antonio!
Some minor corrections from a fellow former-Marine-turned history teacher: the single S shape never meant "the sun". It's the Nordic (Viking, Scandinavian) rune (alphabet) for "Sieg"... "victory" in English.. The single S rune was was used by the Nazis as well: it features prominently on the flags, badges, and belt-buckles of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth). I believe the credit for adding a second Sieg-rune to the first one... making it SS... was the same ad agency that came up with the SA [stormtrooper] logo, andf several others (their name slips my mind at the moment). Your "sun" idea isn't entirely wrong, the SS were also influenced by Himmler's dabbling in the occult, including *their symbology. And the Black Sun, or Sun Wheel ("Sonnenrad"), does show up from time to time in SS rituals, but merely as decoration or ornamentation, never as a badge or uniform insignia. Just my two cents, Semper Fi.
Thks for your comment. I was told, much earlier in life, the "twin lightening bolts." like the skull/crossbones symbol. were old, somewhat common, military symbols used thru the centuries.
This is true, the concept and the term "Black Sun" or "Schwarze Sonne" appeared in the early 90s.
You read my mind.... I wanted to say so much... I mean I get the point of view that they're trying to Portray. But the history of each meaning... Well you know...
A correction to your correction, Viking is not a race, nationality, or ethnicity, it's a profession and activity.
@@Riceball01 It was a profession in Scandinavia, therefore all vikings were Scandinavians
Wow! This was a very fascinating historical piece. Thank you for sharing this.
I'd love it if you made more videos analysing fashion from history. This was so interesting!
Great Video Antonio! Howdy, from West Texas ✌🏽
Combining fashion and history with such great research and narration. Thank you I learned and I enjoyed this video.
Antonio,Thanks so much for the history lesson.
I love these style history videos!
Antonio, I've been watching your videos for years now. This is the first time that it felt scripted. Usually your videos feel natural and organic, like you're having a conversation... This one really felt like you were reading a script. As usual, the info is spot on, and very good; I learned something (like I do with most of your videos).
its ai voiceover
Well in today's climate, you have to script any conversation that mentions Nazi so you don't get cancelled.
@@Free4evr so true…
Very informative. Thank you.
Really love the history and fashion videos; great work!
Glad you like them!
I have actually thought about this more than once. Discovering that Boss manufactured the uniforms was part of the explanation for me.
I’m interested to know how much one of these fully equipped uniforms cost back then including mandatory weaponry. I did a search, but didn’t really find anything. But what I did find is that they had to pay for their own uniforms and installments, and were required to replace anything that got damaged in the line of duty if they were still alive.
@@angeldesigns1385 Wait, really? Is this for all Wehrmacht soldiers or just the SS? I can't imagine the Wehrmacht not supplying its soldiers with uniforms and forcing the soldiers to pay for their own uniforms.
@@danielhalachev4714 from what I read the Wehrmacht was given an allowance in their salary that would cover uniforms and uniforms repair/replacement. Pretty interesting stuff and I wish I could send a link but UA-cam has been really finicky here lately.
Very informative video, well done, very interesting
Stylish uniforms, great vid
Ive stumbled apon some of your videos over the years. This one struck my interest and you did a great job
Very interesting, thank you for not being afraid to tackle such a sticky subject.
To be honest, it’s not really sticky. He is acknowledging power and aesthetic wherever it may exist. The misplaced, blinding hyper-moralization against Nazis is quite tired
Re-upload or remake? I thought you made this before. Anyway, excellent video!
Keep up the good work Antonio ❤
You should make a video about cold war western and eastern german uniforms. Would be interesting to see a comparison and influences of them.
Best uniforms ever.
Very good and informative video. Thanks.
Hey Antonio. I find your videos very interesting and educational. I was wondering about style and fashion in Medieval Europe. What was it like, and what influences of it do we see in the modern day in our clothing?
great vid!
A great instructive video. Thanks! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video!
Informative
Good videos as always Antonio loved this one ❤️
Triumph of the Will is such a powerful piece of film making (and of course propaganda) that it is still recommended view on many film courses today.
Such a great video
You speak with an almost breathless enthusiasm. From the start to the finish, every single sentence .
You almost seem excited by the subject
Who wouldn’t be? It was a time of fervour and apricity. Something long forgotten in modernity.
I think it would be interesting if you were to do videos on uniforms of the other nations, both in World War II and even modern times, or even pre-World War II
The fact that we even need to answer this question today shows how far we’ve fallen in our awareness of professionalism.
great video
That is a fascinating piece of history. Thanks

Is this old money Germany? kidding lol great video and attention to details and sticking to the subject only and not the political aspect of it. bold move, but why did the video got cut so short at the end? did it got demonetized?
As Megamind said: "your not a super villain without presentation"
why this seems like a re-upload of your former video?
Yeah I could have sworn this was posted already, was the original video removed?
The original video was uploaded 2 years ago and it's still up. This is just an abridged version.
Looks more like a remake

Wait, did you do again this video? cause i remember another one just like this
Definitely a way to display power and authority through clothing, very good video Antonio 👍🏽
Listen... If today there still existed these uniforms I wouldn't mind wearing them...
Antonio’s gross mispronunciation of these German names sets my teeth on edge. These were not obscure people - it would only require a moment’s effort to look up the correct pronunciations. That being said, these uniforms are indeed a fascinating study.

the Totenkopf was actually a legacy of Prussia. an elite cavalry unit known as 2nd Life Hussars was renowned for it's achievements during the Napoleonic wars.
A really good video in which you talk as neutrally as possible about the external effect that the distinctive black uniform of the SS had.
I think that's very good. Because let's be honest: many people, myself included, see this uniform in a documentary, in a history book at school or in a movie and think to themselves: "Wow, they look good."
And that's probably where the pangs of conscience start to set in for some, because it's already considered a glorification of National Socialism.
And no, it's not glorification to say that the uniforms looked good. You have to try to separate the uniform from the SS organization, even if it's almost impossible, but you've done a good job of separating the two.
I do not have pages of conscience about liking them or uniform whatsoever& y grandad faught them🤷♂️
I admit, I am commenting this before watching the video, but my theory for why the Nazis dressed so well is because they where walking propaganda. They wanted extreme conservative values, and formal dress is usually seen as conservative.
Probably true - the SA uniform was WW1 surplus left overs. Legitimacy for the movement, power vs the military, and propaganda were part of it - Party insignia items were quality checked by an office called RZM/ rubber stamped.
You should ALSO do some research on the Sun Wheel Insignia/Symbol.
This video is sharp

Nice!
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the cut of the uniform. The design of the jacket in particular was full of visual illusions designed to make the wearer look even fitter and healthier than he was. The jacket was slightly longer in the front than at the back, and the belt being worn over the jacket gave the impression of the legs being longer than they were. This only worked if the trousers were the same colour as the jacket, which they were. Both the SS and the Army shared these design elements.
6:05 Leni Riefenstahl not talked about? She's been talked about considerably for decades. Her films were pieces of incredible cinematography, developing camera techniques never seen before, and used to cover sports to this day. Her footage of the 1936 Berlin Olympics is outstanding. The fact that her incredible talent was used to promote the Third Reich was tragic. She went on post-war to continue her photographic career, completely moving on from her pre-1945 days.

Hello I am wondering if you were going to a video on the NKVD and the uniform
didn"t u already make a video about this earlier ?
An almost identical video was posted 2 years ago.
It’s not a bad idea to make new videos, allows him to get more views on the channel and people tend to watch newer videos when looking up topics.
It's good when you want to add a comment as well. It's more up to date rather than a 2 year old video.
Can you talk about Soviet military fashion and Joseph Stalin as Stalin and the Soviet military were very stylish.
True. North Koreans are keeping the legend alive.
They were kind of boring looking like the brown shirts
Gangsters also tend to dress sharp. It is camouflage.
I've always thought it was a reflection on their military bearing. Many of the officers were of the old, aristocratic, Prussian aristocracy, and were intensely proud of their military heritage. And they dressed like it - very stylish and well groomed.
