Opa fought for Hitler. He was an officer and a fighter pilot. He didn't talk about the war either. If he was pretending, he did a pretty good job of it, but he loved Americans and America when he died. His daughter married an American officer. He came to America and spent as much time here as he could in the end.

Let's be honest, the only reason some of this looks cool to some is because it is associated with either the Kaiser or the Furher. ooooooh....you must be a tough guy because you wear 2nd and 3rd Reich memorabilia.....lol..... I don't think it looks cool. I think it makes one look like a douche nozzle.

the pic of that guy above, with his wife behind him....now that is one bad mother ****er...he so bad, he wears a mushroom head helmet and doesn't give two ****s if folks think it makes him look like a spaz
