Ah thanks! Sounds like you're right.

Found this searching "nazi" in that link.

During the times of the Third Reich, the national socialist leadership chose to forbid academic fencing. (It hints it was driven underground) but then states:

Following the war, most of the formerly suspended fraternities were reactivated and resumed the traditions of Mensur fencing if they had not continued throughout the time of Nazi occupation.

I found the history of young Nazi's partaking in encouraged duels; and intentionally slashing their faces and enhancing the gruesome scars quite interesting.

The Mensur scar became known as a ‘Duelling Scar’, or in later years the ‘Nazi Duelling Scar’, and it became a fashion trend amongst upper class German men. They would often pack the scar with horse hair to make the scar much more gruesome.

We have a UPS sphere and school bus ball of his in VT.
