?!?!? / History Eva Braun in Blackface

Posted by David Schmader on Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 9:59 AM

"What's more loathsome than being Hitler's girlfriend?" asks James St. James at the Wow Report. "Answer: Being Hitler's girlfriend in blackface and drag!"

From LIFE magazine's newly published collection of Eva Braun's Private Photos:

Right, because drag is loathsome like blackface and being Hitler's girlfriend.

no, it's loathsome because Hitler put people in camps for that sort of thing.

Even Hitler could get a girlfriend. Suck it up, losers.

Alison, I hadn't read it that way, but that makes some sense. I'll admit to not knowing historically what the consequences really would have been for a women dressing up in an Al Jolson costume. I suppose it could have been used against someone in such an obviously intolerant place and time, but personally I associate women costuming themselves in men's clothes closely with the Weimar era.
