Its pretty cool seeing how uniform everything is. Looks like an alternate world. Must have been wild seeing your country rise from the rubble like Germany did.

I imagine the flag maker for the Nazi party was making some serious $$$ at that time

Gotta give them credit for the flair though they did have the best uniforms.

Hitler is presented a Volkswagen as a gift for his 50th Birthday and exclaims:

"A Volkswagen for my 50th Birthday? Are you out of your mind? Porsche, You'd better get your fastest Porsche over here before dinner, or you're dead, you nit-wit."

Say what you will about them, but the Germans had some of the best looking uniforms in both world wars

I did some work on the google machine after reading this article and found this little tidbit.

quote:
How could Hitler continue to exert such a grip on the German people until the last days of the War? Talking to a prison psychologist while awaiting trial, ex-Governor General of Poland Hans Frank (1900-1946) describes Hitler's charismatic effect on him...

"I can hardly understand it myself. There must be some basic evil in me. In all men. Mass hypnosis? Hitler cultivated this evil in man. When I saw him in that movie in court, I was swept along again for a moment, in spite of myself. Funny, one sits in court feeling guilt and shame. Then Hitler appears on the screen and you want to stretch out your hand to him . . . . It's not with horns on his head or with a forked tail that the devil comes to us, you know. He comes with a captivating smile, spouting idealistic sentiments, winning one's loyalty. We cannot say that Adolf Hitler violated the German people. He seduced us."

These photos are creepy yet very intriguing and interesting . Color photos just make it so much more real. Hard to believe that such a whacko captivated so many people.
