The uniform, fitted with two iron crosses and the Nazi swastika, was labeled with 'retro' in bright colours and was intended to highlight the use of fashion in crafting military dress.
, a Bundeswehr spokesperson said:"We posted a picture of a Wehrmacht uniform that was used for a film. The uniform is exhibited in our military history museum in Dresden, however, we didn't put it in historical context and added a false and inappropriate caption."The intention was to tell a photographic story about the influence of uniforms on fashion over the last century. Unfortunately, among the large number of photos we prepared, this one was wrongly published.
"Extremism of any kind is an absolute no-go in the Bundeswehr. We're now investigating what went wrong and how we can prevent it in future. We're very sorry. We're working on restoring the usual quality of what we share." The misstep came in the same week that Spanish luxury fashion brand Loewe issued an apology after a new outfit was criticized for resembling concentration camp uniforms worn by victims of the Holocaust.
