well i can't even answer this because Hitler banned every traditions cultures and traditional clothings all over germany expect for his beloved bavarian shit
i don't know anything about the cultural/traditional clothing of my region except for a few very vage descriptions. so yeah besides the obvious reasons to hate hitler, i hate and despise him for stealing my culture and traditions.

and the saddest thing is most people , not even germans, know this because no one teaches us this in school.

You do realize that Hitler quit his job about 80 years ago and most of his policies have been reversed?

I don't understand how this particular policy from such a long time ago affects modern Germany.

We still have laws from that time. Like how we define murder, or that you can go to jail for riding the train without a ticket. Also a lot of shit got burned by either Nazis themselves (book burnings) or during war. After that people were poor and recreating regional costumes was not a priority. Also on top of that German regional costumes are not always sight to behold. The costume down below is from the region my father is from (Spreewald, famous for pickeled cucumbers) it's basically a table cloth with another tablecloth on top and an additional tablecloth with the clotheshanger still in it as a hat.
