RENEGADE 88

Guest
just an observation......as we all know star wars has a heavy ww2 theme including the weaponry and the stormtroopers, even down to the imperial uniforms reminiscent of hugo boss' nazi aparrel........but did anyone know and pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me if this is old news or well known........but 501 as in the 501st was the initial membership of the nazi party. it started at 501 to give the impression of a greater membership. Mr Hitlers was membership 544 just for the record........just thought it was an interesting little fact.

I didn't know Hugo Boss designed Himmler's uniform, quite bizarre.
The number 501 was the starting number for membership in NSDAPs predecessor DAP, that is true. But did you also know that 88 is a modern code for Heil mr. Hitler..?
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah no!!!!!!!!!!!!
coincidence i tell ya coincidence...........what code do you refer too mein flettch?????

lol...................j
 
oh my god........i thought you were jokin dude. man that is weird. i was just lookin it up and Hitlers membership was actually 555.....man this is weird. well i guess if you believe me my forum name is because i dont like to conform.......renegade.....plus my favourite number 8........so i added another 8 as in ig-88........mmmmmmmm

can someone hold this shovel?

thanks for the info dude......thats an amazing bit of knowledge.
 
No worries! If you really want to go insane on numbers, try the kabbalah or deciphering 666, the number of the beast :)

88 can be "double eternity" as well or.. anything else. Historically, what the word "renegade" means is actually a christian who has defected to islam.
 
The whole idea of the Imperial army was based off of Nazis...

Indeed true. I once saw a documentary on the History Channel that compaired the Nazis to the Star Wars Empire. Their was a significant amount of similarities.

They even said Darth Vaders helmet was most likely based off of the Nazi army helmet.
 
Actually I believe it was the storm troopers helmets that were based off the Nazi's. Darth Vader's was based off of the Japanese kabuki warriors again as with the other comment i made about Fetts armor I"m not 100% positive but pretty darn sure...lol
 
I can see the Nazi - Vader helmet connection. German infantry helmets at the time were a rounded kinda thing, with a sort of 'skirt' around the back of it... looks a lot like the top section of Vader's helm.
 
are you serious? you don't believe it? you definitely need to watch the history channel and A&E specials on star wars. if I can find the torrent for it I will post it. :)

:)Im not 100% sure either but It does look kinda close to the helmet.;)

Nazi helmets left and Darth Vaders right.

here is a Japanese Imperial Samurai helmet it dates before WWII and was the original "Empire" so its a pretty good chance the Nazi's got the look from them. what do you think?
who thought we in for an online history class? :)
