like the red banners strung between the colonnades of hollowed out german institutions, the cultural memory that glorified an era about as far away from them as ward cleaver and ma and pa kettle are from us today, the uniforms made with forced labour to fit a despot's anxious ideas of masculinity more than any real wartime utility, it all must have seemed as sloppy and distasteful as an ai state fair on the national mall or the gold-sprayed flourishes krazy glued to the walls of the oval office
