Why does the Chilean army still maintain the dress style of Nazi Germany during World War II?

After World War II, some Nazis in Germany have always said that Chile is a South American country. When Germany was defeated and Hitler committed suicide, many Nazi officers at that time fled to South American countries, especially Chile. Then why is the infamous Germany not excluded from fleeing to South America?

First, historical reasons.

Germans immigrated to the United States very early (Germans are the most common in the United States), which has always had a great influence on local politics, economy and culture. The top leaders of many countries are Germans, so they will accept their own people more easily.

Second, the leadership is mostly German.

South America did not join World War II, so people will not have much resistance to the arrival of the Germans. On the contrary, because many national leaders are Germans, such as the German Commander-in-Chief, many German traditions have been formed in China and they are used to everything in Germany. Once the tradition is formed, it is not easy to change, so when the military uniform is modeled after Germany, they don't think what will happen.

Third, sympathize with Germany.

Because Germany was defeated in World War I and suffered heavy losses, it ceded many overseas colonies and its own land, so the Germans in a foreign land could do nothing. There was once a leader who led Germany to the road of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the country. They were very supportive of Hitler in their hearts. It's a pity that Hitler finally failed, otherwise Germany would probably realize its wish and regain its glory, so they would imitate military uniforms, perhaps taking history as a mirror.

Thank you for your invitation.

Indeed, the styles of military uniforms and helmets are full of German flavor, which is not accidental, and it must be closely related to Germany!

Chile is a South American country. Many people are descendants of colonial Germany and have always been closely related to their hometown Germany. During World War II, they had very good relations with Hitler and the Axis countries. Both military uniforms and armed forces were aided by Germany, but they did not participate in World War II, and the government and the army were not transformed by the Allies, so the clothing specifications of the army have been preserved.

Just like the sentence often used in online games: being strong is a temporary thing, and being handsome is a lifelong thing. The Nazis did make great efforts in image-building and propaganda.

Happy New Year to all my friends!

How similar are the uniforms of the Chilean army and those of German soldiers during World War II?

You can look at the following two comparison charts:

Look at the uniforms of Chilean soldiers:

Full of Prussian style!

Do you compare the helmets in the first and second pictures? Are they similar?

The style of military helmets equipped by Chilean soldiers is still imitating M35/M42 helmets made in Germany during World War II.

Moreover, Chile is still practicing the army with German standards, and Prussia is just stepping on it in the military parade.

Chile is so "dehumanized". Many people explained that Nazi Germany was defeated after World War II, and many Nazis did not want to stay in Germany for trial, so they fled to South America. South America was not affected by the war, and the local people did not resist much, so these Nazis were able to survive here.

It is said that more than 9000 Nazis fled to Chile after the defeat of Germany.

Some of these Nazis who fled to Chile lived incognito and kept a low profile, while others did not change their true colors and accepted the employment of the Chilean government in a high profile as government personnel or military advisers.

The arrival of these Nazis also brought German-style dress and system to the Chilean army.

But in fact, the Chilean army is "German", which began in World War II, but dates back to19th century.

19 In the 1970s, a great event happened in Europe. At that time, the European hegemon France and Prussia fought!

This war is the famous Franco-Prussian War!

The Franco-Prussian War ended in Prussia's victory. France was not only hit hard, but even the French emperor Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte was captured as a prisoner. Not only that, the war also allowed Prussia to unify all the States in Germany, and the German Empire was established. The establishment of the German Empire also announced the translocation of European land overlord, and Germany replaced France as the new European land overlord.

The Franco-Prussian War had a far-reaching impact not only on France and Germany, but also on other countries in the world at that time. After the Franco-Prussian War, there was a popular saying in the world at that time: "After the war, there was a spike on the military caps of all countries!" (Prussian pointed hat)

Influenced by the Franco-Prussian War, many countries began to imitate the German military establishment and even the style of military uniforms, and Chile also introduced the German establishment and Prussia during this period.

The time has come 1898, and the Dehua of Chile has gone further!

This year, the Chilean army put on German military uniforms. Two years later, at 1900, the Chilean army put on a Prussian pointed hat, which is the one in the third picture above. However, in 1924, the Prussian pointed hat was no longer used as the standard configuration of the Chilean army, but this did not mean that Chile gave up the pointed hat, and since then, the pointed hat has become a part of the military dress, and this habit has continued to this day.

Time later, during World War II, the pace of Dehua in Chile still did not stop. The performance of M35/M42 helmet made in Germany was second to none at that time. Chile also introduced and copied this helmet, which is still equipped in the Chilean army. In military uniforms, Chile also imitated Germany at that time.

Today, although Chile's military construction has long been in line with NATO, the German tradition still exists.

After World War II, there were a large number of German immigrants in South America, and South American countries secretly received many Nazi war criminals. Among them, Chile caused quite a storm, and this "bad fish" was Paul Schaefer. Nazi immigrants in postwar Germany. He even formed a pocket version of Germany and was closely related to Pinochet.

The Soviet Union captured the German capital, and Hitler's suicide declared the collapse of the Nazi regime. But at that time, many Nazis secretly fled to the South American continent, and these countries soon became Nazi shelters, such as Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay! Some people in these countries are more sympathetic to these Nazis. After all, they don't know what these people have done in Europe! Therefore, with their help, they obtained passports issued by the International Red Cross and tourist visas for Argentina. According to statistics, more than 300,000 Nazi war criminals fled to South America.

These Nazis who stayed here began to remain anonymous and had new identities. From then on, they began to live an ordinary life, and therefore escaped the trial of the allied forces and the international court! However, a Nazi actually established a country in South America. He is Paul Schafer, a fanatical Nazi. He joined the Hitler Youth League and later became a military doctor of the Nazi Air Force, and obtained the rank of corporal. When he fled to South America, he was only 23 years old!

After he fled to Chile, he lived in Palar Town, Linares Province, Maurai region. He didn't give up hope because of Hitler's suicide and Germany's defeat, but he was very determined to open a new chapter here, so he publicized with great fanfare, attracted a group of Nazi diehard fans to incite German immigrants here, and led his loyal fans and followers to establish their own country in fertile "Bavarian Valley" and other places! They built hospitals, schools, churches and even airports here, becoming a real "country within a country" and calling it a "dignity colony".

Many people in the intellectual government sympathized with German Nazi experience, so the government did not interfere with their behavior, and basically acquiesced in the existence of China in this country. Later, Shafer began to buy a lot of arms and organized an army loyal to him. They all wore German military uniforms during World War II and refused local intelligence forces and police to enter their own "country"!

Shaffer's brainwashing of the people inside can be said to be very successful, and he has firmly controlled the ideology of the people here in his own hands by means of spiritual control like a cult! He is more horrible here than dictatorship, asking everyone to contribute their own money, abducting children from Germany and forcing these residents to take some psychotropic drugs. If they resist, they will be tortured by electric shock.

He strictly requires everyone here not to have any contact with the outside world, including his own army, except to represent the country diplomatically! Pinochet, an intellectual government, even sought Schaefer's cooperation and asked him to help imprison those who opposed the president's military dictatorship. So these people were transferred to this "pocket Nazi Germany" and naturally received inhuman treatment. Later, it was found that there was a big grave with many skeletons buried in it, probably prisoners who had been escorted in the past.

Incredibly, he forbids residents to have sex in private, and only they can have women and even children here at will! 1997 When Pinochet's government collapsed, Schaefer saw that the situation was not good, left his country and fled again until he was captured in Argentina in 2005 and sentenced to 20 years!

How terrible are Nazis? Although Schaefer is a little extreme and even a little morbid, we also get a glimpse of the cruelty and terror of the Nazis! However, the influence of this pocket Nazi country on intelligence still leaves traces. Until now, the military uniform of the intelligence army is still the style of the German military uniform in World War II.

The country of intelligence was founded by German soldiers who came to realize democracy in World War II.
