HEY! Maybe he couldn't take the swastika off because it was sown on! I dunno, just a thought.. =)

why would you NOT take the armband off? why would you NOT ask for a ride? this has you being a ******* moron written all over it. nice job, YDI

ydi for not having a bike or a car or friends you ************!!!!

take off the armband. unbutton the top button on the coat. it'll still look weird, but it won't look like you're about to start goose-stepping down the sidewalk yelling "mein fuhrer!!!".

one man army? lol.

Even if they took the armband off, someone could still Identify the outfit as Nazi, Most of the uniform designs are easily recognized. the costume department might have been stupid and sewn on the armband if there was one, or the kids who took his clothes could have glued the. from what I've heard, summer nights In Missouri can fall into the 50's. So it could have been chilly out. Also, I would assume that if they were walking the mile home, in an SS uniform, they probably weren't able to get a ride from a friend.

That sucks. You seriously could've been killed.

I guess you never considered that someone might happen to be carrying eggs with them. Say, from a grocery store.

No matter what was sewn on, the jacket could have still been taken off and held, turned inside out, or even the entire top half left there, or another costume worn home, borrowed a friends jacket, etc.. There were so many choices to go with, actually wearing the uniform was probably the worst one. And kudos for the person who was bright enough to have a cache of eggs handy to throw at people impersonating Nazi officers. Or did you pass by an egg factory?

I would've thrown an egg at you. maybe even a chair.
