re: #389 HappyWarrior

It’s my understanding that the gas is why Hitler himself adopted it. Not totally sure. Most of the WWI photos I have seen of Hitler are with a more traditional mustache but those could have from before the first gas attacks which I believe happened in 1915.

I don’t think I’ve seen any pictures of him with the under-nose-only mustache till the ’20s, but who knows at this late date. I had always read that he was a great admirer of the British Empire and that’s why he aped a lot of their fashions—I mean, jodhpurs?
