Walking through the center of Zagreb, I just walked by a man about ten years my junior wearing a black leather coat. “Goodness gracious,” I almost mouthed my first thought, “how quickly people forget!” I was thinking of Gestapo, of course. The Nazi secret police became history only seventy years ago, but it is still alive in so many ways. Only then it crossed my mind that the black leather coat I saw had nothing to do with forgetting. Indeed, it may well have to do with remembering. “Rascals,” I smiled to myself, “the men’s fashion gurus are playing with fire.” When I searched the World Wide Web for black leather coats a short while later, I found many fashion websites advertising them. The connection with World War II is occasionally rather explicit, as well. The Gestapo fashion is in, it seems. I only wonder when the Nazi pistols will also become the rage. A black Parabellum would match a black leather coat quite admirably, I reckon.
