What's the difference between Nazis and communists?

The Nazis had the spiffy uniforms.

I heard an old saying once to the effect, that the army with the simplest uniforms generally win the war.

Bingo.

There’s a great quote by Hayek on my FR profile page that covers that well. It’s the 3rd one down, the 2 paragraph one by Hayek.

Yup. Without a doubt. They had help in designing some them from the costume department of the giant German film company UFA but most were upgrades of earlier German uniforms from about the 1860s to 1939. In particular the black uniforms of German tank units, not the latter crews of the self-propelled artillery and tank destroyers units retained the skulls and cross bones of the old German Hussar cavalry forces. And of course those Iron Crosses(actually a variation of ‘’The Malta Cross of the Knights Templar). Yeah, without a doubt the Krauts dressed like they wanted to kill you.
