In our media saturated culture, I think it would be hard to argue we are any less obsessed over, “beauty,” and in fact, more inclined to let others define, “beauty” for us.
Naziism was statism brought to its extreme. Kiinda like the path we ourselves are on now.
I don’t know why you say “perverted.” Those uni’s were drop dead gorgeous, period. Sure, they were worn by perverse men, but beautiful cloth is beautiful cloth.
And the Wehrmacht uniforms were almost as good, at least the officer uniforms.
AH himself was former artist, and art seems to be his main passion after war and politics. The Nazis glorified the tall, blond, blue eyed Aryan super race. And they were deeply into the occult. Truth was they were a bunch of gangster and thugs, but they were the masters of showmanship, myth and propaganda.
The Nazi were socialist monsters who believed that state was all powerful and who destroyed anything/anyone that did not agree with their viewpoint of life/politics.
Which party does that sound like today?
How so? The Waffen SS battle dress wasn’t much different from that of the Wehrmacht, except for insignia.
I think you may be confusing battle dress with dress uniforms.
The Nazis indisputably had some of the best graphic artists and designers of the 20th century and indeed of all time.
Which just goes to show that the Greeks (and many others) were way offbase in their belief that Truth, Goodness and Beauty were the same thing.
Beauty isn’t always Good, and Goodness isn’t always Beautiful. Except perhaps metaphorically. Or as God sees the world.
