"The apparel oft proclaims the man"

Because of the week that's in it, German television has focused on the end of World War ll.

Last evening one station screened a chronicle of the the coming to power of Hitler, right through to his end in the bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945.

It was interesting to observe the nonsensical clothing the Nazi leaders wore. It seems they had different outfits for every occasion. Indeed, Goering pranced around in a long black cloak. The man looked insane.

One could not but be reminded of a tendency that is fashionable among some priests in the Catholic Church at present with an emphasis given to clothing.

The Nazis looked silly and false.

"The apparel oft proclaims the man...."
