In my town you can rent costumes from the local theatre. If they have done a show with what you are looking for in it they will rent it to you for like $30 a day.

Under the constitution **of the Weimar Republic** , yes, that’s true. While the Weimar constitution was never formally repealed, by the beginning of the war it was effectively disregarded; the Nazis had by then created their own quasi-formal legal apparatus.

The Wehrmacht had plenty of Nazis, especially in the Luftwaffe.
