A doctor walks into an operating room and asks if the patient is asleep yet. As he is about to operate, a group of Nazis in uniform marches in—a round of “Heil Hitler” is followed by orders that the doctor put his scalpel down and leave the hospital.

But this is no ordinary Holocaust film. This is a scene from Professor Mamlock, a Soviet film released in 1938 that tells the story of a German-Jewish doctor living under the Nazis. Part of a small, but significant, wave of anti-Fascist Soviet films, it was one of the first films in the world to address the issue of Jewish persecution in Nazi Germany and was seen by millions of people in the USSR before it was banned in August 1939, when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed.

As a prototype for form follows function, the Marine Corps combat utility uniform blazed a trail of innovation among its peers from sister services, still winning accolades more than a decade after the first stitch was sewn.

The road to the revolutionary outfit began in 2000 when the Commandant of the Marine Corps directed MCSC to conduct research and development for a new combat utility uniform.
