I think British soldiers also did stuff like this. This isn't a "nazi" phenomena so much as a soldier thing. When you are at war for a long time you are separated from the fairer sex for very long periods of time. Cross dressing is a way of connecting with the civilisation you left behind, reminding yourself what you are fighting for and just escaping for a while the daily grind of lethal aggression which is war.

The solution to 1984 is 1973!

It was also a common method of comedy. Silent film stars brought it from Europe to America.

I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.

No. Just no.
