Well that may be true, but once the Kaiser had grown it he thought he was the cat's whiskers and sacked Bismark, the German chancellor who stood in the way of his imperial ambitions, and challenged the might of the British Empire. This led on to WW1 at the end of which millions were dead and the balance of power had shifted from Europe to the USA.
Now if instead of wearing that moustache he had worn a pair of blue suede brothel creepers and gone around strumming a guitar and warbling like Elvis he would have been comitted to a lunatic asylum and none of that would have happened.
I can just imagine the scene.

While listening to…
