His moustache is the most instantly recognisable - and sinister - in history.
Yet, according to new research into Adolf Hitler's early life, the distinctive, toothbrush shape that adorned his scowling face was not his first preference.
A previously unpublished essay by a writer who served alongside Hitler in the First World War trenches reveals that the future Führer was only obeying orders when he shaped his moustache into its tightly-clipped style. He was instructed to do so in order that it would fit under the respirator masks, introduced in response to British mustard gas attacks.
Had that order never been issued, the tyrant who brought most of Europe to its knees would be remembered as a man with a large Prussian moustache... |
That's interesting to note. He would have looked like Joe Stalin if it wasn't for us!

Lack of spirit for war was the reason considering how hard France was hit a generation previously. Besides which the British sent a force in following the invasion of Poland and were roundly defeated by the Wehrmacht. The Germans had developed a new strategy of mechanised warfare by that point and had a technological edge over the allies.
