Excerpt: Towards the end of World War II, U.S. intelligence officials were afraid that the German dictator would flee Germany by assuming a disguise. By 1944 the world identified the man largely by his trademark toothbrush mustache and oily side-slicked hair, so they ordered his portrait to be cloned.
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), an early version of the CIA set up during World War II, asked Eddie Senz, a New York make-up artist, to produce the altered portraits after D-Day on 6 June 1944. Despite fears that Hitler would attempt to flee Germany, the portraits were never needed.
This made me realize that I wouldn’t recognize many historical persones without the signature makeup 🤯
Guess Who? Nazi Edition.
“Does your dictator wear glasses?”
Middle top row looks like George Bluth Sr.
There’s always money in the Swiss banks!
He may have committed some light genocide.
TIL that Hitler without a mustache looks like HP Lovecraft.
Not racist enough to be Lovecraft
When you run for president, someone will dig up this comment and go to the media about that time you said Hitler wasn’t racist enough.
He definitely should have went with the last option from the get go. Can’t go wrong with that style.
