This is from today's Guardian:

A German television documentary has uncovered one of the last, and weirdest, secrets of the Third Reich: Hitler's SS bodyguards dressed up as showgirls to take part in a song and dance extravaganza featuring one of the Führer's favourite film stars.

The pyramid of angels, wrapped in feather boas, in the 1942 film Die Grosse Liebe (The Great Love) was made up of members of the elite Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler.

"When you look closely at the faces you can see that some have two or three days' growth on their chins," said the documentary's co-editor Jörg Müllner of the ZDF channel.

Hmm... perhaps Gary Numan was onto something?
