Well there´s another Quote I´d like to add to this. It´s by an american Nazi
from Vonnegut´s "Slaughterhouse 5":
"Every other army in history has, prosperous or not, has attempted to clothe
even its lowliest soldiersso as to make them impressive to themselves or others
as stylish experts in drinking and looting and copulation and sudden death. The
American army, however, sends it´s enlisted out to fifight and die in a modified
business suit quite evidently made for another man, a sterilized but unpressed
gift from a nose-holding charity which passes out clothing to drunks in the
slum."
[...]
" It is a genuine expression of hatred for the poor (i.e. the officers contempt
for the enlisted man, Lars), who have no one to blame for their misery but
themselves."

Lars, a former German draft-dodger.
