Story Of Adolf Hitler Mustache
Adolf Hitler's mustache was as big as any other man's. However, later he gave his mustache a special shape, after which it became smaller.
The Reason Behind Hitler's Short Mustache?
In the past, small mustaches like Hitler were the normal fashion in Germany, but Adolf Hitler had this kind of mustache for a special reason.
Hitler was hiding in a ditch during World War I when the Allies fired a gas shell. When Hitler tried to wear a mask to escape the toxic fumes from the gas shell, he became entangled with his large mustache, which resulted in Hitler not being able to wear the mask and forcing him to hold his breath for several seconds.
As soon as the effect of the gas was over, he took a deep breath of relief and cut off the mustache that was obstructing him from wearing the mask, because the gas shell could come back at any time while Hitler loved life.
