**_[Putting on the Reich](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PuttingOnTheReich?ref=eldraeverse.com):_** While the Imperial Military Service has been known to like peaked caps (although not in the current uniform), capes, trenchcoats, jackboots, eagles – well, the-local-animal-which-for-our-purposes-let’s-call-a-wyvern, actually, but any raptor gilded and put on top of a standard probably counts – lightning bolts, and calling rapid interface drop-troop legions stormtroopers because they fall from the sky with great speed and mighty thunder, it’s never even been within a couple of thousand light years of _[Those Wacky Nazis](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThoseWackyNazis?ref=eldraeverse.com)_, okay? No black, white and red, either. It’s mostly blue and gold, maybe some silver. And besides, they’re usually the good guys.  They just like to dress with some _style_.  (See also, _[Bling of War](http://eldraeverse.com/2012/05/19/trope-a-day-bling-of-war/)_.) * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://eldraeverse.com/2015/07/29/trope-a-day-putting-on-the-reich](https://eldraeverse.com/2015/07/29/trope-a-day-putting-on-the-reich) ---
