I'm probably late to the party on this one, but this comment got me to learn that those uniforms were made by Hugo Boss (yes, THAT Hugo Boss). I'm actually a little shocked that the company wasn't pressured into changing their name after the guy died.

I don't know dude. For some reason pimp daddy destro strikes me as someone that should be a character in the movie "The Dream Team".

I liked Cobra more because they were garish - over the top. As a kid who would I be more interested in? - the straight laced G.I. who has maybe 1 notable flaw or the wacko bicker mercenary with a chainsaw? But some "good guys" did definitely stick with me. I remember Lady Jaye being one of my favorites because of her file card. It confused the heck out of me but It taught me several words and cultural references.

I think the straight-laced GI offered nothing to a lot of people, and that's why we ended up with characters like Gung Ho. He was Americana turned up to 11. |

As I recall, IG Farben was the only company to get destroyed by their association with the Nazis. BMW, Bayer, Mercedes, Volkswagen, etc... all weathered the storm.

Same with some on the Japanese side such as Mitsubishi and Nissan. Also, there are some German companies that made bayonets, dress swords, and knives that still make the same stuff today such as Henkel and Solingen. They are high quality too. I wouldn't consider those "weapons of war" though (aside from bayonets though low grade), just part of uniform and garrison stuff.
