JENNIFER LOPEZ DRESSED AS AN S.S. GUARD?

It's not exactly Britain's Prince Harry donning a Nazi uniform for a costume party. But the jacket Jennifer Lopez wore for a recent German TV spot might raise some eyebrows.

According to Drudge, NEWSDAY reports on Tuesday: Detailed on the cuff of the white lambskin-with-rabbit-fur-hood jacket is a design with both German military and biker overtones: an Iron Cross, a lightning bolt and two skulls, a design that Los Angeles tattoo researcher Terisa Green suggests is reminiscent of the ``death's head'' patches worn by SS troopers during World War II. The wings emerging behind the heads were also elements in military symbolism.

The Iron Cross was once a proud symbol of courage among German soldiers. But in World War II, Adolf Hitler superimposed a swastika on the cross, and today even the traditional Iron Cross often evokes images of the Third Reich.

The designer of the one-of-a-kind, $2,300 jacket, Jeff Sebilia, says his imagery not only doesn't endorse Nazism, but is meant "to make people aware of just how powerful imagery can be. We all know the swastika was a peaceful Hindu image, and we know what the Nazis did to that. I think we can use imagery that has stark emotion and make it our own.''
