Ok this is totally non production but I'm so stoked. Anyways, I'm a WWII nut and I just got ahold of an authentic wehrmacht uniform. For only 700 Euros too.

Sort of like this one but all authentic including the insignias and all that jazz.

Don't get me wrong, the Nazis were rubbish and I wouldn't dare buy an SS uniform or at least admit to it but I am a history nut. Also got some authentic Reich passports. The guy I got it off was under Rommel's command during their last ditch effort during the Battle of the Bulge. Man that is a piece of history in that it was his uniform he kept. He hated the Nazis but felt very proud to be a member of the army. We talked for hours and hours till he had to take a nap.

I hope they let me take it out of the country. Going by train.

do you even read threads when you post?

You are now obligated to DJ an event in this uniform and post pics.

The link is also broken.

just highlight the whole thing the copy paste. The link is not using all the characters. Naw I wouldn't wear it. Again It is a historical piece and it isn't something I would wear. I've just always been fascinated by the germans at that period. Such a clusterfuck of weirdness. I mean I would not buy a swastika and hang it in my room as I think that part of history was quite appalling but it is none the less pretty neat. Not all Germans were Nazis, not all of them were bad people. In fact I tend to try and read things from the german and soviet perspective as the traditional Allie perspective tends to simplify the matter.

The Soviet History is rather interesting too. Reading a book on the Gulags and the atrocities that took place there. Makes the holocaust look like amateur hour.

Copying and pasting the link doesn't work either since the forum shortened it.

Was joking about wearing it naturally. My father's also really big into WWII, as my Grandfather served as a US infantryman, so I completely understand. Good find btw.

this. Hell funny but specially in the U.S i think you couldn't tell us how it went.

did you know in germany , you can't even wear this as the swastika is illegal except for scholarly purposes which I suppose makes a bit of sense. Still, some Buddhists must be pissed off. There is a hotel in Canada somewhere that used to have a huge one on the roof until those dumb asses ruined it. You have to admit the germans had a flair for design. I mean their uniforms were fabulous.

Dunno man, if you put some facepaint on so you looked like a nazi zombie, people would go apeshit at that rave, in a good way.
