Why is he sideways?
We thought Mussolini died to the mob this whole time, but no
he died of envy.
Look at me. I'm the pope now
The crown of the Holy Roman Empire was not for the pope but for the emperor. The name might be confusing but it’s basically the predecessor of Germany.
Listen Leeroy, I’ve been killing Nazis for 3 months now. How about instead of fact checking my joke you put your big city learning to good use and tell me which of them paintings over there is valuable.
Where's that crown now?
According to Wikipedia, after the Nazis were defeated in Europe, the crown jewels were returned to Vienna by U.S. forces where they are still on display today in the Imperial Treasury.

Rich people do the weirdest shit. Why would anyone want to wear that?
Display of wealth and power seems to be the obvious answer
People and hats.
As Team Fortress 2 proves
They didn't have Bentleys and Private Jets yet.
At least luxury cars are comfortable and fun to drive. This thing just looks uncomfortable and ugly with no utility.
I mean I sorta get it. Anyone wearing it is conveying that they can't do anything practical or even tend to their own needs. Which means they have the resources that free them from it. Induced weakness to display strength.
Point is it still looks uncomfortable.
It's not about the comfort, it's about sending a message
All you people care about is land and castles, this Holy Roman Empire deserves a better class of Kaiser, and I am going to give it to them.

He's got a lot of rings on his left hand.
In my head there's an unsavory story involving dead nazis and marking his kill count.
unsavory
involving dead nazis
