Y'know, I got up to make lunch with this post open on the big monitor and when I came back with my chilidog, I reflected for a moment on Hitler's southern hemisphere, and I couldn't help but think that for all their vaunted engineering brilliance, it's really poor design for them to try to tuck regular trousers into those boots.
See how it looks all crumpled and wrinkly? No es bueno. Fer sure.
Now, sure, one solution, and one I'd certainly support is just skipping the trousers altogether. You could trim the bottom of the shirt, pull on the boots and be good to go.
Of course, this might be offensive to Nazi Modesty, so the alternative would be to cut off the trousers below the knee (when my sister had pants like that she called them 'pedal pushers', as if there was some kinda uniform for illicit bicycle parts salesmen), and then use little metal snaps to attach the trousers to the boots.
There you have it. Neat, efficient, and altogether unrumpled. And once again, as always, it turns out to be about a bicycle...
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, I just can't see that working. "UN-TROUSERED NAZI SUPERMEN CONQUER THE WORLD"? Substantial savings in the provision of uniforms would be offset in the treatment of the soldier's nether regions for weather associated problems. And I am not gonna be the one applying warm towels to where they are needed, no way.
So those fireballs she blows turn her lips purple?
