Yeah man, why would Nazis ever need gas masks.
When would a nazi ever have to come in contact with deadly gasses?
That'd be the day.

It takes less than sixty seconds to put on a gas mask from being stored. Why would you lounge around wearing one constantly? That would be fucking awful.
>>332145026
It's a more believable way of making them faceless mooks than having them wear clown makeup.
Fuck these guys, I hate them to the bone.
Game is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and these fuckers can take three sniper bullets to the head to go down.

What the hell were the devs even thinking when they made this game?
>>332146712
If I was fighting BJ Blazkowicz I wouldn't want to inhale all the dust and drywall flying around due to the 8 million bullets being fired at me.
Besides, smoke and gas 'nades.

Maybe if you're still 14.
gas masks = tacticool
God, I wish there was some situation where it would be okay to wear one of those uniforms for a day.
They look so slick.

Well they were designed by Hugo Boss.

You say that but if you wore a fucking SS officer uniform to comicon you'd get shit on by all the Tumblrites pretending they like things.
You'd only be safe if it was something like Red Skull

World War II reenacting, Anon. Though groups generally look down on full Nazi shit, e.g. no Swastikas and goosestep marching. I guess you could just be a full neo-Nazi if you really want that.
>>332145026
Any sort of protective gear, full-face covering especially, or military uniforms in general, dehumanise a person.
Or demonise. This is due to the expected implication of wearing them meaning the person is trained and ready to kill without much hesitation.
>>332147460
WW2 re-enactments, cosplay events, halloween
>>332150251
>WW2 re-enactment without fully accurate uniforms
what the fuck?
>>332150328
If you're reenacting battles, chances are you'd only be in fatigues, not necessarily with all the trappings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiLVAz-Jczg
>>332147551
This gets posted around a lot, but Hugo Boss didn't design the uniforms, his company was only one of many contracted to supply them.
The Hugo Boss company at that time didn't even make suits let alone luxury clothing, the first time they designed a suit was in the 50's. If I recall, in the 20's and 30's, they made work clothes.
This guy and someone named Walter Heck designed the uniform.
>>332150764
But the orange Fanta thing is true right.
Ive been making Fanta nazi jokes for years now and I'll feel like an idiot if they weren't grounded in reality
>>332150554
SS always had decorated uniforms as did officers
I'm fairly certain basic fatigues had swastikas on belt, chest or shoulder/arm too
>>332147385
Mein nigger.
>>332150736
Brit "humor" is the worst
Believe it or not these mask are multi purposed and mainly serve as a "face protection plate". I'm sure for the sake of being a nazi they have some infrared vision available or something. It's obviously so you don't see same face, but they could have at least made name tags with random german names on them or something like that.
>>332150554
No one reenacts the black uniform SS, because those aren't combat units. Every uniform the germans wore in WWII had a swastika on them, somewhere. There's no getting around that.
The regular army had a Nazi Eagle holding a Swastika on their chest, the W-SS had them on their sleeve, the Navy and Airforce had them on their chest as well.
Also would find them on hats and helmets.
>>332150736
I always find it funny when the Brits poke fun at the Nazis. Its like the kid brother being smug and talking shit to the school bully after his older brother beats the bully up.
>>332147080
Maybe if you don't love cocks.
>>332151495
The black ones are spiffy as hell though.
Especially with those caps
>>332151560
To be fair, look at it from my perspective.
Kind of hard to suck cocks through a gas mask.
>>332150887
Yeah, the Fanta thing is true. The Coca-Cola plant couldn't get the syrup due to the embargo so they just made a drink with whatever they had on hand, which was mainly whey and apple fiber. Wasn't orange flavoured, and was yellow in colour though.
>>332151950
Oh. I always thought it was because Coca Cola was considered a pretty patriotic drink at the time.
Thanks for the history lesson anon.
>>332145725
In a matter of war is isn't by choice to kill nazi's as it was an "us and them" situation.
Looking at the situation now we were able to leave our prejudices behind and realize that just as our men, the nazis were humans who fought doing what they thought was best for their families and their homeland. The opportunity was there and impossible to fight so it was largely a "can't beat em, join em" situation for most.
Disassociate me with this statement as it is only a modern example, but think about how many follow Donald Trump during this election because of the particular policies that appeal to them while telling everyone to ignore his statements on deportation and what he will do to solve the issues of terrorism.
It still appalling to me that so many people don't realize the possibility that they could be born into that world and could be singing a completely different song.
>>332151839
I don't disagree, those black uniforms are slick as shit.
The combat uniforms they wore were pretty nice too, though.
>mfw the 'bag guys' only wear respirators because the so called 'good guys' use illegal chemical weapons
STALKER and Metro have different variations
Metro's was much more iersive, as you only had a limited amount of time/filters, while STALKER just applies resistance factors.
One of my friends has an old gas mask he got in Berlin. Always fun to wear and make Darth Vader sounfs, or just to try to imagine what it would've been like to be fighting for your life/survival with your face so enclosed and your breath so erratic.
>>332152716
Yeah, I always feel bad for the bag guys.

Ever since dealing with the resource management of those filters in Metro, seeing default enemies constantly running around in gas masks frustrates me.

Shame how that game turned out, it was actually pretty fun to play with friends. I personally think that if the developers or modders took the time to salvage what they could, it could have been an okay game, but instead it was left to rot. Truly a shame.
>>332153990
Fuckin a. I loved the idea of actually doing alternate timeline shit in the RE universe. The fact that that whole part of the game was just choosing at to save or kill Leon at the end of the game was horseshit

Nemesis mode looked interesting, but I never bought any dlc. Was it good?
>>332155157
Unfortunately I never played that mode either. By the time it came out my friends had already moved on.
Man I wasn't really prepared for what New Order delivered. I was expecting a campy, super hammy over the top storyline about BJ blowing future Nazi shit up. Instead I got a harrowing tale of regret, rage, and how a man can change.

>>the I was just following orders excuse
It's not an excuse. It's a valid reason.
If you're in an army, you follow (and give) orders. It's your main job.
You don't get into moral and philosophical debates with your commander, you just do as told.
Or if you don't you go into military court (lose rank(s)/prison/etc), get shot or disappear, the latter 2 being fairly likely during actual war
