What color shirts were those 1930 era singing German gas station guys wearing? Were the garments BROWN by any chance? Any colorful red, white and black arm bands seen? Hmmm . . . very Interesting!

lol while those years before the Nazi takeover were tumultuous, I don't think any of these guys were card-carrying Nazis.


Interesting, though, one of the actors, Heinz Ruhman, was a particular favorite of Hitler and was exempted by him from the draft, along with most other popular entertainers.
