Uniforms are incorrect per any history students...

1) Trump's "uniform" is ridiculously incorrect. His "medals" are on the wrong side and the "death's head" is incorrect as he has a breast mounted "Heer" style eagle photoshopped too low, (I guess for effect?).

2) Vance's uniform is a simple German soldier or grenadier, not a SS, or necessarily a Nazi party member

3) This is a German army NCO who has the M43 cap, (not SS)....Knight's cross winner

4) Musk's uniform and hat are from the same branch, but it is a German Air Force Officer, (Luftwaffe, not SS). Knight's Cross winner

5) Netanyahu wouldn't be wearing any of this because he is Jewish...It looks like a German Army Officer with Iron Cross 1st class, Iron Cross 2nd class as well as Knight's Cross... Probably a combat hero because he is Wehrmacht, (Not SS), and has been wounded in combat, (Wound Badge).

6) Putin's uniform IS correct and it is an SS uniform cloak...Probably early war because the SS stopped wearing black uniforms around 1937 or so
