[@garydouglass3597]

His 1st WW moustache was one of several standard issue models from the Hammilburg stashfabrikkenwerks available to the lower ranks. The Treaty of Versailles then limited german mustache size during the early interwar period. The "toothbrush" style, as you call it, was actually two different models. The first was designed my Ferdinand Porsche and was designed to allow his head to traverse a full 360 degrees. The second was the wartime armored model provided by the Krupp steel works ( notice the gunmetal grey patina ). The armored stache was recovered by the Russians in Berlin and is now in the Stalin Museum of Mustaches in Moscow.

2:19 - A small clarification. There have been two waves of the deportation of Kurds from the Caucasus to Central Asia. The first occurred before the Second World War - in 1937 and concerned the Kurds who lived in Armenia and Azerbaijan in the former autonomous region of Red Kurdistan with the capital in the city of Lachin. In 1944, the Kurds were deported to the second wave from Georgia along with the Meskhetian Turks.

[@netserivry5561]

I see the whole South Tyrol situation as an interesting parallel with the sudetenland situation - both were majority German-speaking regions taken from German sovereignty by the entente in the wake of ww1, and both had some sentiment toward returning to German hands; However, this really shows German double standards, as they were perfectly content with their people having to choose between emigration and loss of rights in this case, but in the Sudetenland they couldn't tolerate a choice that was not only similar, but better, as the Sudeten Germans enjoyed equal rights under Czechoslovak democracy as an alternative to emigration.

[@lordekker]

Citizen rights and happiness are not the final goal of any government, including the present day ones (in modern democracies we have parliaments to make citizen interests). The thing is that Sudetenland was of prime strategic importance for Germany, while sud Tirol was for Italy but not for Germany. So their deal made perfect sense geopolitically speaking. Mussolini and Hitler murdered Tirol with equal responsibility.

He worked on his personal presentation - photos exist of him rehearsing the gestures he used while speechifying - and the moustache may have been part of that.

Was Hitler still in the regular armed forces in 1921? Certainly he was not yet demobilised in 1919 but was he still in the army two years later? Versailles required the entire German army to be cut to 100,000 troops and 4,000 officers, and one reason for the evolution of the Freikorps was to get around that.

[@WorldWarTwo]

Hitler was working for the Reichswehr (army) through the Bavarian government after the war. At first he was in charge of handling pension registries, coordinating with the troops being disbanded, and other administrative duties. A few months into 1919 he was transferred to be a field clerk charged with secretly monitoring the emerging freikorps and extremist parties at risk if seeding sedition, or orchestrating coups. That’s how he got to know the DAP (later renamed by himself into the NSDAP) and it’s founder Anton Drexler. Yes... Fox, henhouse, etc.
