And yes, Hugo Boss made (if not also designed) the pre-war black SS uniforms. I don't know if he also designed the fantastic panzer uniforms (all short waisted, double-breasted, button-fly; practical and styish).
I am reminded of the story where some of the Monty Python crew were visiting Germany and they were going to get a tour of one of the concentration camps. They get to Dachau and the Germans are closing it down to visitors. Without a beat, Graham Chapman says "Tell them we're Jewish". They get in.
