I'd say WWI.
Clothing are way too stylish for WWII plus the rapier.

Actually the Nazi's were known for having incredibly stylish uniforms.
They WERE designed by Boss after all.

Far from the truth. While yes, uniforms got a lot more boring and practical in WWII, the higher ups still used-excuse my language- FABULOUS uniforms, particularly amongst the black SS line.

For the uniform in the picture, it's quite clearly inspired by the standard issue Waffen uniform, for one it has a strikingly similar red armband, buttoned up chest to reveal a tie, down to the gloves, placement of the pockets and belt. Granted, the uniform is a bit short, but that can be left up as artistic license.

If I were to reference a WWI uniform, I'd pick the British officer uniform, which is the closest thing I've been able to find in that particular corner of the war.

For a direct comparison of the officers, I'll refer you to these three images.
