Hey Y'all,

I actually dropped in here by accident. I was surfing the web looking for pictures of men's haircuts from the WWII period, and this is where I was led. I'm heading to get a "new 'do" and wanted something a little more classy than the same haircut I've had since highschool (once I hit a quarter century I figured it was time I get a grown up haircut)

And lo and behold, I end up here.
I don't suppose you have any photos from the Allied side of things do you BB? Bringing in pictures of Nazis to my barber is not traditionally a way to endear ones self.

A fun fact, my uncle flew "The Miss Anita", a P-51, through the war, and did well enough to come home and marry the REAL Miss Anita once things ended.

Hi there.

Well - the way I did it, was to print the pic that I've uploaded to this post, and then I brought it along to get a similar haircut, only a wee bit longer in the back and sides, so that it didn't look too extreme.
It worked like a charm, and my hairdresser didn't say anything about the pics, as one can hardly see any uniform details in the photos.
You can just photoshop or GIMP the photo you want to use, and remove, color or pixelize the uniform details, so that your hairdresser won't go ballistic because of that.

it seems that the German style was very short around the ears and neck, a sideline which resulted in quite long hair on the bigger side. That is shown when the guys no longer have cream in their hair or the wind/combat has ruined the style.

It's an interesting bit of information, never gave it much thought. Thanks
