Germany - Edelweiss

Description

"In the country of eternal snows, lived a white lady: the Queen of Snows. She was surrounded by many small wights, who were in charge of her protection. Armed with spears of crystal, they protected their queen from the intrusion of stranger folk and those who might do her harm.

When a hunter or an imprudent mountaineer approached the beautiful lady, she was often pleased by the visit, and she would encourage him with her smiles and her eyes to join her. Fascinated by the gentle eyes of the beautiful lady, the mountaineer forgets the danger and continues to climb…and he climbs higher and higher with the hope of seeing more closely this beautiful face.

Confronted by this apparent danger, the wights take to their spears and push back the suitor until he falls into a precipice.

The white lady at the sight of that horrible spectacle began to cry; the tears then ran along the glacier and flowed to the pastures, and when arriving near the rocks, they changed into Edelweiss."


This impression/cosplay was put together by me from various patches, insignia, and components found on places like Hessen, Antique shops, and eBay. All the sewing was done by me, without a machine-- along with several replacements, upgrades, and tailoring-- after putting together historical references from original photos, research online and in various books I have on the subject.

The Regular German Army (Heer, which is signified by the type of insignia sewn to the jacket) as well as the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine, was forbidden by Hitler to be members of the NSDAP (Nazi Party, which was the organization affiliated with the conduction of war-crimes.) Rest easy, Hetalians and other cosplayers. A swastika does not a Nazi uniform make.
