Nazis: Known For Their Fashion

A teenager in Perkasie was recently arrested for scrawling swastikas and other Nazi-related graffiti on his high school bathroom walls. Here’s how The Intelligencer described it (emphasis mine):

In addition to swastikas, the teen wrote a symbol that means “Heil Hitler” and also scribbled “SS,” a reference to the Schutzstaffel, the group of Nazi troops known for their loyalty to Adolf Hitler. The drawings were done in pencil and pen.

The SS was, indeed, a group of Nazis. But I think they’re best known for… hell, let’s just quote the Wikipedia entry for the Schutzstaffel:

Built upon the Nazi racial ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler’s command, was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during the World War II, and most of the worst of those crimes.

So… yeah. Loyalty to Hitler, though, that’s what I remember ‘em for. As such, I remember Hitler as the guy who widened roads in Germany.

    Well, technically, the Intelligencer isn’t inaccurate. The SS was known for perpetrating some of the worst crimes in recorded history in addition to their loyalty to Hitler, not instead of their loyalty to Hitler. A subtle, yet important distinction.

    Yes, I know. I just think it’s funny that “loyalty to Hitler” is what the paper used as the modifier there.

    Their uniforms were probably the most badass of the belligerents during WWII.

    Except for maybe the Royal Scots!

    No one is more badass than the Scots. Ever.
