To appeal to the working class. It was a popular style among them at the time.
>>
>>3122894
What kind of resonance did it have back then? Was there a certain kind of person or personality that such an appearance would have typified to the average German? And why were Germans so accepting of having an Austrian come take over their government?
>>
Because it looked good and he liked the style.
I don't really understand what you're asking here.

If he didn't have that particular beard he, like Stalin, would not have made and particular hairstyling unacceptable for later generations.

So people couldn't recognize him and he could just escape to South America without any problems.

I'm pretty surprised that so few people ever claimed to be Hitler, given how many crazy people there are.
>>

Austrians and Germans aren't really all that different and used to see each other as brothers, he fought for the Germans in WWI and by the time he held any office, he was a German citizen (German citizenship mainly goes by blood or other factors, not by place of birth, unlike the US, anybody with a proper citizenship can hold any office)

When you're trying to build a cult of personality, it's important to create a consistent image. If you change something about yourself or your image, there will always be some people who like it and some people who don't. This sows division, no matter how small, which should be avoided. Every leader attempting to form a cult of personality has kept a consistent image of themselves. Imagine if Stalin shaved his mustache, or Trump changed his hairstyle, or Augustus grew a beard. It just doesn't happen. Or if it does, you don't tell the general public about it. You want a consistent image first and foremost, because that's part of building a consistent message - which is the first step to getting people to follow your message.

The mustache was pretty normal at that time, just look at Charlie Chaplin.

It was a deliberate attempt to look a little like Chaplin. Everyone loved The Little Tramp character, may as well try to use that affection - the tramp was always the lovable hero, sticking up for the little guy against the bullies.

Maybe the modern equivalent would be dressing a little like Captain America, but there isn't a contemporary character with the same resonance as the Tramp in the 20's and 30's

The mustache was supposed to have originated during his time serving in World War I, probably later on, due to the pictures showing him with the larger mustache style. However, Hitler seems to have preferred floppier hair than most Germans, or even Westerners, would go for in the early 20th century. In an era in which the epitome of fashion was for men to have their hair slicked back, with or without a side or center/off-center parting, the ideal was to reveal the forehead. Hitler on the other hand, did often reveal most of his forehead, but he also is depicted in photographs as having floppy, proto-emo looking hair.

Charlie Chaplin's look is a deliberate mishmash of clashing styles. Ill-fitting upper-class clothes juxtaposed against a working man's hairstyle and mustache is part of the comedy.

I had heard he started wearing the toothbrush mustache due to gas attacks. All the soldiers wearing bushy Prussian mustaches had to shave them in order for gas masks to be effective.

>>3123007
Wow, he still looks 100% male even without it!
>>
>>3122862
he wore the mustache in attempt to cover up the ever present smell of feces
