Post your Hitler Mustache immitation photos

[Adam S.]

You see a lot of soldiers imitating Hitler's mustache out of some form or idolization I imagine. I did a couple of searches and couldn't find a thread dedicated to this so let's see what's out there.

And the same gentleman who is eating.

No form of imitation or idolization. This is a standard mustache form that was worn by men all over Europe for many many years prior to Hitler. His image stigmatized it, but it is having a resurgence. See the recent Michael Jordon commercial.

Have to agree Hitler stole it from the Brits.

Very traditional officers 'tash as opposed to the NCO curler.

Charlie Chaplin used it and the bowler as a poke at the upper-ups.

I think that Adolf Hitler's old mustache looked better on him:


It's a shame really that those impressive mustaches during and before WWI went out of fashion in the 30's.
