4th pic down shows guys in leafy camo smocks. These were pioneered by the waffen SS - I don't think the regular army ever formally adopted them. So you might guess these guys were waffen SS, hence party members. Or, they might have been regular army that just borrowed the gear. So, yeah.
None of these guys are Waffen ss. First is luftwaffe, the last is ww1. The other 4 are Wehrmacht. The 4th pic isshowing an officer ont he left and an NCO on the right. Both wearing the early type Splittertarn camo jackets, wich was made for the Wehrmacht. The camo pattern was actually in use from 1931, but only for tent sheets, then they started using themfrom 1942 for clothing, caps, helmet covers and etc. The only pic i saw of ss using this time of camo was a pic of SS polizei, wich usually had mixed gear. Ss camo was rauchtarn, palmentart, platantarn and erbsenmuster.
Hitler was a vegetarian and staunch animal right activist. He was the first to implement governmental protections for nature and wildlife, tried to outlaw kosher butchering which is very cruel and Germany was also first to implement limits on number of animals taken for hunting. Why don't you actually learn some real history before blogging?
Did Art Spiegelman have anything to do with this?
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is from the First World War, not the Second. The Helmet and the Gas Mask are both WWI Imperial German Army issue.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know that any of those soldiers are Nazis?
