The tangent about General Rommel and General Patton seems extremely unnecessary, comparing Patton to "a working class schlub who just ate a greasy egg sandwich at some shitty diner" doesn't compliment the rest of the paragraph. It is also innaccurate due to the fact that Rommel never surrendered to Patton and that Patton himself always wore elaborate uniforms, in contrast to most other army personnel. While I didn't delete the whole paragraph, I think it fits better in Putting on The Reich than this trope, as this trope applies to specific characters. Analyzing Hitler's uniforms would be far more appropriate.
