Note: The photo that I used twice in the video is not actually Karl Diebitsch (the one with the full SS uniform on). It’s quite confusing because when you search online for his name, this is one the photos that comes up multiple times and it does look like him. But I have just found out that it is actually Josias, Hereditary Prince of Walden and Pyrmont (thanks for Mark Felton’s video). So the photo claims to be both of them online, but it’s actually Josias, Hereditary Prince of Walden and Pyrmont. I’VE ADJUSTED THE THUMBNAIL TO INCLUDE AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF KARL DIEBITSCH IN UNIFORM.
If only other country spend more of their money and time into designing a uniform,I'm pretty sure there would be hundreds of new uniform that could outclass the SS uniform...but I guess stylish uniform is useless in battlefield,take more time to manufacture and very expensive...

@@pabloastudillo6903 these black uniforms were never worn in combat and were worn up until 1939, with the exception of the 1940 **parade** in Berlin after the defeat of France.

Don’t worry I did as well for a while! Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a pain now because I’ve found out that the original thumbnail wasn’t even him and so I’ve now changed it (if you read my pinned comment you will understand). Just a shame that I can’t edit the video without taking it down. All the best and thanks for watching!👍

@@steelhelmetstan7305 🤣🤣It’s a bloody pain, honestly it might not seem like it but the whole process of making a 3-6 minute video takes around 4-5+ hours. Nevermind, the one I’m working on currently about the Wehrpass which has already taken 5 hours to translate the contents, before I’ve even started filming and editing, mainly due to the impossible to translate handwriting in it (some of which I cannot even translate) 😅. But it’s worth it when people enjoy watching the videos.

So the fact the SS allgemiene uniform is just a black M36 tunic with fancy cuffs is what? Because those tunics were an evolution of ealier German uniforms. This guy didnt design anything.
Well…he did…and it’s recorded fact. You can dispute it all you like but both men did ‘hone and polish’ the ‘earlier’ uniform styles to arrive at the Allgemeine ensemble and its associated regalia. That then morphed into the later gray style used from 1938. It’s the same reason Hitler and the Party used Speer for the architecture that he arrived at. The projection of power and control.

@@Giacomo005 Perché, agli occhi degli inglesi, un'uniforme innocua è "famigerata" (perche è Tedesca) mentre un arma terribile (perche è Inglese) è "famosa" ? Allo stesso modo, il carro armato Tedesco, "Tigre", è famigerato ma lo "Sherman" è famoso.
….perhaps you should educate yourself first before making comments like that. Those uniforms projected power and prestige far beyond anything you wear, I can guarantee that. These people murdered not only the Jewish and others in the millions, but were even more incredibly cruel to same sex persons. You wouldn’t have wanted to be ‘gay af’ in that regime as they would have disposed of you ‘quick af’…

Yes! That is the Prince of Walden, but i believe it is Karl Diebitsch you see in the video at 2.09 to 2.14.
The stylish look of the German uniforms are still unmatched to this day.

The best uniforms ever seen in the world, this is the true!
German cars
German weapons
German engineer
German design
Are amazing
I simply cant handle the fact that the name Diesbitsch exists
To this day they are great looking uniforms! thanx for the video,
So you're telling me all the Nazis were dripped out in designer clothing as a default.
every clothing is designed
Dog sh*t wrapped in velvet.
And Walther Heck
Great video! Years ago there was a documentary on TV about the activities of Hugo Boss during the 3rd Reich. Unfortunately I can't remember the title.
Thanks! Ah right, I might try and have a look.👍
The best military uniform ever created- non better
Napoleonic stuff is better and more elegant. This looks good to the modern eye though.

Surely Hitler was not at the Berghof in 1945?

Comitting war crimes in style
When you’re committing war crimes might as well look good.
Youre brainwashed
Everything was "infamous," unlike now, eh?
SHow many times dies he swy"infamous". Weird.
But, just to name an example, the Fairbairn-Sykes Commando fighting knife, that slashed many a German sentry from ear to ear - that's famous.
The s.s. emblem was invented by the freikorps
Yoink
currently rabbit holing these uniforms cause aint no WAY they went out dressed like that by accident. those uniforms are so slutty for no reason LOL
