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.
