Well, the the Nazi’s and especially the Fascists in Italy purposely channeled the pomp and iconography of ancient Rome. In fact, the word fascist derives from fasces, the Latin term for a bundle of rods that symbolized power from the early Etruscans all the way through imperial Rome. The Italian Fascist eagle perched on the fasces, as did some Roman eagles. German eagles replaced the fasces with a swastika, but they they closely resemble Roman ones.
I’m not aware if the Nazis or Fascists ever threw toga parties. Really, I have no fucking idea why he’s wearing the toga. And which one is hell’s wizard?
I like the idea that hell’s wizard lurks somewhere off-camera, controlling everything. He’s much more ominous in my imagination than he would be on the cover.
The Oberführers are just mixing it up for casual Friday.

This blog is so edifying.

Good idea. More effective off-camera, since he can’t look comical like the rest.
