I’m a Pole so I probably didn’t consider German military could be good news or sexy, even subconsciously. But then you have those Hugo Boss uniforms. Hmmmm.
100% agree with you that military isn’t good or sexy ever but comparing this photo to like a grizzly, manly man in the mud (which could be sexy as well, lol) I think this image wants to say “Look we’re not the reactionary, sexist boys club we once were (which is a complete lie, probably), come join us, we even got women now!” So basicallly propaganda.

I wouldn’t make this judgment based on a single news piece with 2 pictures total but I’ll be on a lookout if this is a pattern.
Sorry, I don’t get what you’re talking about. I know that Hugo Boss used to make uniforms for the Nazis. But what does that have to do with today’s uniforms???
(For those who are unaware of the relationship between Hugo Boss and the Nazis, here’s an article for reference: https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/historiker-hugo-boss-hat-nachweislich-vom-100.html )
