Shameful truth about Hugo Boss's links to the Nazis revealed: As Russell Brand is thrown out of a party for accusing fashion designer of helping Hitler

...

On Tuesday night, the comedian Russell Brand was thrown out of GQ magazine’s Men of the Year Awards after-show for making jibes about the event’s sponsor, Hugo Boss, and the fashion company’s historic links to the Nazi party.

While on stage, Brand told the gathered celebrities and politicians, ‘If anyone knows a bit about history and fashion, you know it was Hugo Boss who made uniforms for the Nazis.’

He then added, with less than subtle irony, ‘But they looked ******ing fantastic, let’s face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality.’

...

Shortly afterwards, Brand was kicked out by the magazine’s editor, Dylan Jones. According to the comedian’s Twitter feed, the two men exchanged angry words, with Jones saying, ‘What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.’ Brand replied, ‘What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.’
 
Funny hope he never drove a BMW, Benz, Ford, Audi or Porsche cars. They all were Nazi supporters. Seems like a case of he wanted his name back in the press so did something crazy.
 
There are a lot of nazi companies that are back today, and with a lot nastier links then making their uniforms.. There are even US presidents families connected to them
 
You know you're an attention whore when your claim to fame is calling out a dude who's been dead for over half a century.:lol

I think it's more about disclosure. Hugo Boss has been less than forthright about its past, where other German companies dropped their pants and bent over long ago.
