Hugo Boss and the Hugo Boss franchise were made wealthy and famous for its association with the World War 2 Nazi party. Hugo Boss was about to go bankrupt when he decided to join the Nazi party and became a sponsored member of the SS. After Hugo Boss became affiliated with the Nazis, his brand, marketing and profit margins went through the roof. Make no mistake, Hugo Boss was not a victim of circumstance like IBM, who was dealing with subsidiaries in Germany even before Hitler came into power. Hugo Boss believed in the ideals and teachings of the Nazi party and was an active member of the German Labour Front, the Reich Air Protection Association, and the National Socialist People's Welfare. Hugo Boss designed the uniforms of the Hitler youth, the SS (Schutzstaffel) soldiers, the Sturmabteilung, the National Socialist Motor Corps, and other party organizations. Built off the backs of the suffering, Hugo Boss and his company grew into an enormous success and the company marches strong today. Models, actors and the powerful elite seem to have no problem with the roots of the once Nazi affiliated company and appear to have no qualms about wearing the company's clothing today. Notice the styles of the Hugo Boss lines of today. Any similarities? Beware of the celebrities you admire. Julie CIRC: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0zt8dpQOTvZmvV_NxML9_g
