Talk:Nazi chic

message: "Fascist groups such as Sir Oswald Mosely's Blackshirts had used swastika armbands and various military uniforms since the 1930's."
Could do with a tidy. They wore uniforms from 1932-1936, they never used swastika armbands they wore this ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:British_Union_of_Fascists_flag.ant.svg .
It's a good idea for an entry but it's underdeveloped, there's no mention of the non-nazi global use of the swastika, suggesting mainstreaming as a Nazi icon didn't really kick off until the seventies is a trifle short sighted, and Dior's making dresses for the wives of German Army isn't automatically a Nazi involvement. 
I like the underlying sentiment of this entry though, and would be interested in working on it with any interested folk. Hence the discussion rather than a hack and slash edit. PhilipPage 23:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it reasonable for Israel to be categorised as 'Western'? It is geographically found in the middle east.
:Australia and New Zealand are to be found in Southeast Asia, but they're still culturally part of Western Europe.

message: I haven't edited the main article as I do not know enough of the facts, but as I understand it the infamous 'Hitler European Tour' t-shirt was simply an extremely bad taste example of typical British seaside humour shirts, and I would commonly see them for sale at various UK seaside resorts during the mid 1980s.
I would go on to say that it is pure speculation to state that these shirts were appropriated and worn by members of far-right organisations. They were simply a tacky joke. Indeed, my personal feelings on the matter would be that the sentiments portrayed and the jokey nature of the shirt would make it unlikely for it to be worn by such people, who take such political views extremely seriously. 
It is my understanding that the design of this shirt was credited to a Mr. Wayne Morris, better known as a music manager, responsible for bands on his Lazy Records label. Best known of these was Coventry band The Primitives, who scored several hits back in the late 1980s, and whose first record released in 1985 was financed with the profits from the sale of the Hitler t-shirts.
:Agreed. One source refers to it as a "satirical T-shirt" and reports that the sarcasm was lost on courts who tried the Bavarian case. - Location (talk) 21:54, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The section on Prince Harry says "Harry's impromptu costume resembled the Afrika Corps, rather than more political units such as the SS or the Wehrmacht." This makes no sense. The Afrika Corps {"Africa Corps") were part of the Wehrmact ("Armed Forces"). --71.163.66.167 (talk) 01:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This Nazi chic did not begin with punk. There should be mentions of how the Hell's Angels used the Swastika as can be seen in some Roger Corman films. In the Nuggets box set of 1960's garage rock, it is noted in the booklet that Gonn performed in front of a Nazi flag. The hippies were not National Socialists but some of their icons did have a fascination with Nazi imagry. The punks inherited this appropriation from previous counter cultures.Smiloid (talk) 18:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The statement "George Burdi, the former head of the neo-Nazi record label Resistance Records, claimed to have sold many CDs to Japan, because some Japanese believe themselves to be the white men of the East" should be changed to "George Burdi, the former head of the neo-Nazi record label Resistance Records, claimed to have sold many CDs to Japan". This is per the comment from the source "We sent a lot of CDs to Japan, of all places. It might sound strange, but it was enough for us that Hitler had a relationship with Japan. They called themselves the white men of the east." The comment is in the context of Hitler's relationship with Japan which was during WW2. I should also emphasis the comment is "They called themselves the white men of the east" not "They call themselves the white men of the east.". The source does not say that the comment is a reason for the sales, but rather "it was enough for us" which has a completely different meaning.110.175.9.66 (talk) 23:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I think this pic should be removed as it is not in accordance with the context of the article. A 1938 Japanese show about the Hitler Youth (or Nazi Germany) has no connection to the modern fascination with Nazi imagery. It would, more likely, be related to the alliance between Japan and Nazi Germany. CMarshall66 (talk) 13:58, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Nazi imaginery is the context described in this Thailand article seems to be really just nazi chic, and we already have an Asian section here. The current Nazi imagery in Thailand is very short and of dubious notability, it would be best to merge it here. Ping user:Buidhe (also as I am not sure if Nazi imaginery is the same as Nazi chic? Maybe there is an interesting DYK here...). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:24, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say yes, it's the same thing, but how should we deal with the specific examples currently in the Thailand article, which would be rather excessive if merged here? --Paul_012 (talk) 17:31, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , We could start a section by country, for other countries too. Thai would be longer than others but that's not a major problem, plus I am pretty sure we can easily google few other examples. Although I am also concerned a bit about the danger of listing all examples (WP:NOTNEWS, WP:EXAMPLEFARM). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

text: Have completed the merge now since there were no objections so far. I haven't merged the particular examples since this article is very brief about each country and listing of examples may indeed contradict WP:EXAMPLEFARM. Wareon (talk) 18:22, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
