“Sounds like the nazis unloading the trains at Aushwitz”
Speaking of Nazis, does anyone know if it’s MD that uses Nazi SS style hats and belts for their State Troopers, or is that NJ?

That’d be NJ, last I’d seen.

Don't know about the cap, but the belt is called a “Sam Brown Belt” and was around before the Nazis. They started wearing them in the early to mid 1920s, I have one that is even older than that. Mid teens I think. The U.S. Army used them prior to WWll and Many police departments used them in the first half of the 20th century and I suspect some still do on dress uniforms.
