Hitler’s Hairstyles Make a Comeback in Hipster Culture
Adolf Hitler’s Impact on History
Adolf Hitler used his court appearance for high treason to win over the crowd and alter their minds, thus changing history forever.
Hitler’s Captivating Eyes
Hitler was famous for the captivating eyes that defined him. They were described as bright, mesmerizing, and dominating. Even Hitler himself once likened them to scissors!
Blue Eyes
Not all high-level Nazi party officials met the Aryan ideal of tall, slim, blond-haired, blue-eyed people. Hitler had brown hair and eyes, while Himmler and Goering looked vaguely Asian. Goering later became a massive drug addict.
Heidegger’s Background
Philosopher Martin Heidegger, known for his association with the Nazi regime, was Austrian. His paternal grandmother was an unmarried domestic servant who impregnated herself at age 42 but never revealed the father’s identity.
The Holocaust and Hitler’s Ideal
Hitler recognized that most of his people did not fit his ideal Aryan image. He dealt with this through one of the cruelest acts witnessed in history – The Holocaust. Six million Jewish people, Blacks, Gays, and physically or mentally handicapped Germans, were killed. Special Lebensborn maternity centers encouraged pure-blood women to give birth there, allowing Hitler’s plan to raise these children under his watchful care.
Hitler’s Hairstyle
Hitler famously wore a very short haircut resembling the Prussian military crew cut, which has recently made a comeback among hipsters. This style features fades on both sides with longer locks on top, smoothed back with pomade.
Baby Hitler Mesmerized
Baby Hitler is stunned by a man with mesmerizing golden locks, capturing his attention like nothing else could. While tempted to attack, Baby Hitler is entrapped by these locks, wholly amazed and mesmerized by the sight.
Hitler’s Hairbrush
In 2014, Channel 4 sold a lock of hair from Hitler’s hairbrush for $325,000, which American soldiers had looted. Despite later issuing an apology, no evidence supports their assertion, and no refunds were given to customers who purchased such items from Channel 4.
Hitler’s Mustache
The Hitler Youth hairstyle, once considered a Nazi haircut, has become a beloved style among men. This dapper and stylish look features long locks in the crown zone, neatly combed back with shorter temple hair length.
Famous Mustache Style
Hitler’s mustache, characterized by two long tendrils emanating from the top lip and tapering downward, gained popularity through the fictional character Fu Manchu and real-life figures such as Kaiser Wilhelm II, Charlie Chaplin, and Groucho Marx.
Controversial hair Purchase
Channel 4 caused outrage when they purchased hair from Holocaust denier David Irving for their “Dead Famous DNA” program. However, Channel 4 justified this purchase on scientific grounds, using it to identify clues about Hitler’s characteristics.
Revival of the ‘Aryan’ Haircut
The Hitler Youth cut, now often associated with hipsters, has revived. Despite its association with Nazi figures, this style dated back even before their time and was commonly worn by working-class individuals and groups like the Peaky Blinders.
Symbolizing Purity
Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi officials adopted this haircut style to symbolize Purity, as expected of their men. They aimed to portray their people as clean and powerful, creating a racial hierarchy with Aryans at the top and Jews, Gypsies, and Black people at the bottom.
Scandalous hair Auction
In 2009, David Irving caused a scandal by attempting to sell what he claimed was a lock of Hitler’s hair on an online auction site. British television channel Channel 4 eventually purchased it and had it tested for DNA samples.
