Good Halloween costume idea?

Question

I'm a big history fan, and that usually reflects in my costumes. This year I'm thinking of going as a Offizier in der Grenztruppen der DDR. Better known as an East German Border Guard. Cool idea? Or not?

Answer 1

Is that a n**i outfit? If you're Jewish it would be funny and ironic...otherwise, I probably wouldn't.  But I'm kinda biased since I grew up in a heavily populated Jewish town and I had to be careful not to offend anyone (I'm not Jewish)

Answer 2

Depends on where you are.  It might not go over well in some countries, like say Germany for example.  If you are in the U.S.A. most people probably won't even guess it right.  They might say "nice n**i outfit but where's the swastika?"
