Toothbrush moustache
Encyclopedia
The Toothbrush moustache (also called Hitler moustache or Hitlerstache, Charlie Chaplin moustache, 1/3 moustache, philtrum moustache, the postage stamp, or soul (mou)stache) is a moustache
Moustache
A moustache is facial hair grown on the outer surface of the upper lip. It may or may not be accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair style grown and cropped to cover most of the lower half of the face.-Etymology:...

, shaved at the edges, except for three to five centimeters above the centre of the lip. The sides of the moustache are vertical rather than tapered.

In America

The style originally became popular in America in the late 19th century. It was a neat, uniform, low-maintenance style that echoed the standardization and uniformity brought on by industrialization, in contrast to the more flamboyant moustaches typical of the 19th century such as the Imperial, Walrus

The walrus moustache is characterized by whiskers that are thick and bushy in nature. Its name derives from the fact that the whiskers usually droop over the mouth, giving an appearance to the human face that is very similar to that of a walrus.-History:...

 silent comedies. In a 1933 interview, Chaplin said he added the moustache to his costume because it had a comical appearance and was small enough so as not to hide his expression. Adolf Hitler was a fan of Chaplin, but "there is no evidence (though some speculation) that Hitler modeled his 'stache on [Charlie Chaplin]." Chaplin took advantage of the noted similarity between his on-screen appearance and that of Hitler, such as in his 1940 film The Great Dictator

, where he wore the moustache as part of two new characters that parodied Hitler.

In Germany

The style was introduced in Germany in the late 19th century by visiting Americans. Prior to the toothbrush the most popular style was called the Kaiser moustache, perfumed and turned up at the ends, as worn by the royalty of Germany and Austria. By 1907 enough Germans were wearing the new trimmed down and simple toothbrush moustache to elicit notice by the New York Times under the headline "TOOTHBRUSH" MUSTACHE; German Women Resent Its Usurpation of the "Kaiserbart". The toothbrush was taken up by German folk hero Hans Koeppen in the famous 1908 New York to Paris Race

, cementing its popularity among young gentry. Koeppen was described as "Six-feet in height, slim, and athletic, with a toothbrush mustache characteristic of his class, he looks the ideal type of the young Prussian guardsman." By the end of WWI even some of the German royals were sporting the toothbrush; William Hohenzollern (son of the Kaiser) can be seen with a toothbrush moustache in an 1918 photograph that shows him about to be sent into exile.

Hitler originally wore the Kaiser moustache, as evidenced by photographs of him as a soldier during World War I
World War I
World War I , which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939, and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918...

. There is no agreement what year Hitler first adopted the toothbrush. Alexander Moritz Frey, who served with Hitler during WWI, said Hitler wore the toothbrush in the trenches after he was ordered to trim his moustache to facilitate the wearing of a gas mask

A gas mask is a mask put on over the face to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases.

, a cultural historian, said "Hitler didn't adopt his until late 1919," after the war. Hitler's sister-in-law, Bridget Hitler, says she was responsible for Hitler's toothbrush. Bridget was Irish and apparently Adolf spent a "lost winter" at her home in Ireland in 1912-13 (although this is disputed). The two quarreled a lot, mostly, she said, because she could not stand his unruly Kaiser moustache. He cut it, as she says in her memoirs, but that in doing so, as in most things, he went "too far."

Post WWII

After WWII the style fell from favor in the West due to its strong association with Hitler earning it the nickname "Hitler moustache".
