Hugo Ferdinand Boss, the founder of the world-renowned fashion house Hugo Boss, played a significant role in the history of Nazi Germany. In the 1930s, Boss became a major supplier of uniforms to the Nazi Party and its paramilitary organizations, including the SS. The company benefited financially from this collaboration and actively supported the Nazi regime. However, in the aftermath of World War II, Hugo Boss was tried for war crimes and forced to pay reparations for his involvement with the Nazis, tarnishing the reputation of the brand for years to come.
