Hardly! Winston Churchill wanted Kaiser Wilhelm hanged as a war criminal, but the Dutch granted him political asylum. They were a little less pro German after WW2. Regards, Norm

Mostly snappy uniforms, which could get confusing. Now Hitler's Brownshirts were most certainly a "Boys Club", at least at the top echelons. One of the reasons Hitler had the organization evicerated.

It is still claimed that Hitler himself shot Ernst Rhom.

Yes, it is. It is the pride of my pickelhaube collection and is indeed quite scarce.

Admiral Tirpitz beard always amazed me. What a nightmare to keep that in order!
