Did Hitler use to shave himself and daily?

I've seen both versions like 20 times.

I didn't see the 2nd movie. Just didn't care to see Naten Lane replace Zero. Saw the play on Broadway two months after it came out. I ordered tickets 3 days after it came out and that was the first show available. Just remember Hitler could paint. He could paint a whole apartment in one day. 2 coats!

What about a "Barber" Shop Quartet[:D]

[Knuckles_85]

Since poltics and such are discouraged I have one question. What does this have to do with wargaming?

[tc237]

Hitler, or at least the German High command during WW2, is in tons of games.
It helps to "get into character", when playing a game.

from wikepedia...

It's well known that Churchill was concerned at the allies lack of facial hair vis a vis the Axis.

Pre war spending cuts and lack of R&D development had allowed the Nazis to build a technical superiority in a short length 'Blitz' type comedy 'Chaplin' pushbroom that was by the mid 1930's already being used successfully instead of the old 1919  'Kaiser' model.

More importantly Stalin had a truly stupendous walrus hair moustache that promised Samson like properties and no western leader could hope to match its size { although much of its quality was rumoured to be sub - standard and workmanship was rudimentary at best .Barbering techniques in the Sovit union were not as good as in the west.}

 Mussolini knew his countries poor industrial base and agrarian economy could not compete in the HAIR race of the 1930/1940 s .So he adopted a Total Facial hair ban including the entire head shorn of ALL HAIR!
  Although initially worrying to the Allies Dr R V Jones  remarked 'Il Duce looks like the Dali Lama in profile ' and the 'Baldie' approach was soon to be considered an irrelevance.

De Gaulle was working on a Goatee,  but his stylist in sedan was overrun early in the war and nothing much was heard of it until the project began again in france in the mid 1960's when the entire country adopted the 'Goatee beard ' or 'petit chevaux '.

The japanese war department working on blueprints supplied by the Nazis during their 'Pact of Scissors' developed an amazingly long ranged , high endurance and manouverable 'charlie Chan' style tash.
 Called the MOUTAKI it created fear in the Allies hierarchy throughout 1941/1942.
Frightening to behold {MacArthur was rumored to have told aides to glue shoelaces to his upper lip in a feeble counter measure that did little to inspire anyone}the Moutaki's weakness was it's terribly frail construction.
the Emporer never left the forbidden city bedroom throughout the entire war lest it 'blow away  in a freak gust.
By 1943 the MOUTAKI Menace was being tonsured back relenlesly on all fronts{ and back and sides}.

So,the Allies had spent their pre war budgets in a new 'facial hair replacement strategy'.
Convinced that     'The razor will always cut through'  the commenwealth and the United States had largely abandoned facial hair and were persuing smoking gestures and accoutremonts instead. { Pipes originally but moving onto strategic cigarettes; filter tips , snuff and of course Sir Winston Churchill's famous Supermarine Cigar}

By the time of the fall of France Churchills comb-over was looking very threadbare and FDR's thinning top was a serious worry for the free world.
Early english and Australian attempts at sideburns promised much but Churchill knew neither he nor montgomery would ever grow them in time, even with new hairdressing appliances and creams from the US.

{Eventually of course it was SGT ELVIS who combined sideburns and quiffs and revolutionised the US during the COLD WAR}

Himmler , Goring and Goebells all had luxuriant hair and were equally capable of growing sideburns and or beards faster than the somewhat more tired and more folically challenged Commenwealth. { although attempting to do so on two sides at once had long been counsoled against by the barbers shop general staff }

Ike Eisenhower after careful studying of german stormtroopers nordic hairstyles decided that Facial hair didn't matter anyway.

He reasoned correctly that although Hitler had a superior moustache he would never have more than one .
And  so Ike countered with the ALLIED OWN  CREW CUT. thousands of men all totally clean shaven.
And with Uncle Joe's top lip slopper mopping up millions in the steppes the myth of the tiny mustaccio dominating the world was debased forever.

Yes, yes I can see where you are coming from...alot of this became postwar atrocities and resulted in the "Rollie Fingers" reactionary movement toward handlbarism.

I like the dress suits they wear but na, as a Qaurtet! we could'nt make enough money to buy our next meal

[tc237]

hmm... looking through the archives it seems that german scientists invented Nair: NazihAirInstantischRemovigebung
Might be a cule right there. Have to do more research on this...

[robpost3]

Well I fear it's nothing less than Hair Metalwe would have to spend most our profits on Dippity Do unfortunatly. (by the gods of power chords this is ghastly!)

[robpost3]

tc237...after much searching and trading in spare body parts I was able to obtain a photo of one of the scientists at work on the NAIR project...

[shunwick]

Hair today, gone tomorrow.  Yes I know but all the oldies are goodies.
 
Best wishes,

I used to have this whole old testament prophet look going on but in a moment of insanity I went and shaved it all off.  I had the sort of beard that if I got peckish in the middle of the night I could dig into it and find the remnants of last Thursday's breakfast. 
 
Should I regrow the beard?  I have been thinking about it but I would I welcome your opions.
 
Well - most of your opinions. [:)]
 
Best wishes,
 

[Zap]

shunwick, that is a real delima. My suggestion would be to grow back the beard on half of your face(experiment). That way you could make the judgement based on the real thing. It's, like going to the store and trying on clothes before you buy.

[Zap]

robpost3,

I would have to get a hair transplant or a wig of to be a punker metal but yea, you might have something there!

[robpost3]

Steve! Brilliant!!
Re-grow the beard and attarct a small group of Voles to nest in it! This way you can get in on this musical cash-cow: The Flaming Hexagons...we could use someone of your talent and calibur. You can rant prophetic diatribes on stage whilst projecting the Voles from your beard (preferably ingniting them prior to launch), think of the theatrics!

[Zap]

Voles? what is it or what are they?

[robpost3]

Zap-Don't sweat it !!!
Well invest in a Blue Bouffont (Napolean Era) and a Telefunkin U47...

Zap,

Cute furry little critters that - Robpost3 - should never be ignited in the name of theatre. [:-]

Unless we are talking rock and roll. [:@]
