Actually, might as well flounce.
Do you have any mates who work in IT and could install google on your computer?

Not only that, but most of them wore monacles and walked with a limp. And something about a Madonna with the big boobies.
I checked imdb and 'Allo 'Allo came out a year after Raiders so I reckon that's why Herr Flick looked like that.
It's so fucking good.

It looks like you're right. Shame it's not the other way around.
My father escaped the Gestapo, when they arrested the young Jew who had been protected by him and my mother till then, by hiding under the leaves of a potato field. None of the animals who were involved wore long coats.

Of course real-life nazis weren't like their comedy stereotype. Thats a given. The question is, where did the stereotype come from?

Pleasant and unpatronising
Is it entirely a stereotype though? Coats weren't part of the Gestapo uniform as best I know but leather coats have been popular - if you could afford them - for decades. I wonder if it might have been a fashion among the Getapo trendsetter. Sort of Top Shop for the genocide generation.
You can almost imagine with that mind set they'd want to be kind of identified even if they were in plain clothes; they'd enjoy the aura.
The little, nasty one at the front always had the thin-rimmed specs, of course.

Greatcoats were regular issue for Wehrmacht-Heer officers (not generals), NCO's and men, the same pattern but for all ranks of Luftwaffe, but the Kriegsmarine (W.O.s and above) had a different design. There were also issue waterproof coats, of various designs. The Gestapo had great coats, and waterproofs as well as standard tunics. High ranking officers of all arms did have leather coats, typically trenchcoats as originally designed by Burberry, but similar to the British Army these were private purchase items.
The Yanks and the Russians tended to go for shorter coats, as did those British Regt's who rated mobility over fashion, like the Para's who preferred the Denison smock.

Very like Himmler, in fact.

I'm not sure. I last used it when working out the cost of outfitting Hussars for dispersing youngsters at sabrepoint, but Barnet council never even responded to my email.

U-boat personel wore leather foul weather coats. The leather was imported from Italy. The 12SS Division "Hitlerjugend" panzer crews wore leather overalls. As the British battled against the Hitler jugend in Normandy the image most likely came from then.
Hitlerjugend panzer uniform.

Amusingly, Chris Eccleston's leather jacket from Doctor Who was a U-Boat commander's uniform one...

Hardly getting over it.

That reminds me more of clammy geek fanboys who can be found at Forbidden Planet and at sci-fi conventions and who think that a long leather coat will them him look like Keanu Reeves.
Christ, I once saw a Keanu wannabe wearing a cassock like in Matrix 2. It doesn't really flatter the fuller figured gentleman.

Are you sure it wasn'e Laurence Fishburne 'cos he did look like he'd been at the pies a bit in the last two films

Some of them did but guess as other said it was private purchase item.
How often do the bad guys dress in black and put sliver skulls on their uniforms
?
I always wanted one of those coats but realised I wouldn't look cool in it.

Denison smocks are
They are for true connoisseurs of wartime fashion, ideally accessorised with a Lee Enfield No.4T

back on the other side
I watched this too! Something I never picked up on before was the Jewish angle.
Here is a story presented by Speilberg of a hero who takes on the Nazis to reclaim the arc of the covenant (which really is the whatever-the-fuck-it-is of God), all set in the holy lands of the Israelites (the israelites were from what is now called Egypt).
it'sa Jewish school boys ultimate adventure! The story's religiousity is only diguised by hiring a gentile to play Indiana Jones!

Mmm, the latter film made him feel uncomfortable with the depiction of the Nazis in the Indy films as pulp-fiction baddies. I gather he only did the new Indy film because Ford's age meant the villains would have to be Russkie Commies...
