These are large photos.

[cripplecreek]

Are you sure these aren’t democrats. I saw a lot of half dressed men with poles.

[Dallas59]

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Wow. Even more chilling in color. Thanks for posting these.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

What’s the point? Without context or comment, maybe this post belongs on a Nazi website.

[Sloth]

Wow... there’s one about a fifth of the way down the page with what looks like half a million people in it...

[eCSMaster]

75,000

[randog]

Wow, those are awesome. You’d think we had seen every pic of the WWII era.

[SMARTY]

Creepy! These people were insane. The torch light parade is especially chilling in a way that makes my flesh crawl. Wholesale and unconditional affirmation of individuals is, and ought to be, an instantaneous red flag... no matter who is being lionized. Has humanity learned nothing?

[pillut48]

I think the MSM would say it’s only ‘thousands’ or ‘tens of thousands’ actually. /sarc

[FormerACLUmember]

Boring.

[IrishPennant]

It is creepy....and all from a country about the size of Montana!!!!

Are you listening Texas...we may need you!

[dfwgator]

When I have time, I will post some color video of the Jewish section of Warsaw just months before the outbreak of the war.

It’s history. And it’s fascinating.

I’m afraid I don’t understand your objections, Lonesome. Did you think that posting these pictures somehow glorifies the Nazis?

It didn’t have that effect on me, I’ll tell you for sure. I find the pictures chilling, knowing what they represent, even without captions. Yet, because of the history, also fascinating.

[Pessimist]

Wow!

Thanks for posting!

[T Minus Four]

I could hardly breathe while looking at these. Very, very moving. Thank you for posting.

P.S. Who is Paula Hitler?

Amen!

The one that makes *my* skin crawl is the picture of the medical office chair — with the metal things to go around the waist. God only knows what they used THAT for. Could be my imagination working overtime, but I found it disturbing.

[Constitution Day]

Good post.

I would have added that the complaining poster can't spell the name of his/her home state of Massachusetts. :)

Paula Hitler was Adolf’s sister.

[Kakaze]

As I look at these pictures of the past..............I fear I see our future.

[Wonderama Mama]

Wow. amazing how one goofy looking little pipsqueek can wreck havoc on the world. It is interesting to see these in color. It’s makes it more real and menacing somehow.
thanks for the link and to those complaining about the link..why did you click it, if you think it’s boring? move along next time.

[alecqss]

The context is in the knowing what all these “beautiful” people brought to the world. Their deeds are the context for this pomposity.

[Constitution Day]

This is an excellent but chilling post. Thank you.

[Nervous Tick]

“Lonesome” is OK. And typos happen. Way back in ‘98 when Lonesome signed up, they were probably charging by the character for screen names.

If *I* had a nickel for every time I have posted something that I should have thought through better, I’d have a whole pocket full of nickels! :-)

The Jewish District in Pre-War Warsaw May 1939

Chilling to think the firestorm these people were going to be in in just a few short months.

[potlatch]

Thank you! These are just astounding to see. They leave me with a deep sense of awe and sadness.

Those on dial-up most likely won't be able to view them.

chilling indeed... the Star of David on the tattered coats...

but it sure does rhyme"

Ping!

Fascinating, horrifying in their normalcy.

[Constitution Day]

LOL! That is true on charging by the character.

[katlynne11]

Did LIFE magazine compile these photographs in a book?

[giotto]

I like this comment:

До сих пор удивляюсь, как Гитлер с такой отталкивающей внешностью смог повести за собой миллионы людей…?

(Translated by Google: Until now wonder how Hitler with such a repulsive appearance could lead the millions of people ...?)

[Antoninus]

Wow. That’s an impressive collection. Some nice shots of what look like Vichy French or Italian warships.

[Dallas59]

Don’t know. I was searching Reddit and came up with this.

[giotto]

That picture is unreal. Is it possible that the propagandists used the 1940 equivalent of Photoshop techniques to fake the size of the crowd?

[Lady Jag]

Thank you for posting this. This should never be forgotten.

[The Great RJ]

Give the guys in lederhosen purple SEIU purple t-shirts and change the swastikas to an ACORN logo and it would be deja vu.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Chilling indeed. Thanks for the post.

[potlatch]

[Is it possible that the propagandists used the 1940 equivalent of Photoshop techniques to fake the size of the crowd?]

NO. I’ve seen pictures like this before. In fact, I have a bunch of Life and Look magazines from the 30’s and 40’s that probably have similar pictures in them.

Those people either loved Hitler or lived in fear of him so gatherings were a ‘must’ - I believe.

We’ve become too suspicious of every picture being photoshopped now days, so we often disregard what is really real.

[Lando Lincoln]

I can effortlessly provide my own context. Chilling. Thanks for posting D59.

[BerryDingle]

Yes, that picture of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain reviewing the SS gave me the creeps. I actually didn’t want to believe that was him, so I had to look.

[Behemoth the Cat]

Clearly, the National Socialists were efficient community organizers. Creepy, and particularly creepy in the context of our recent “mmmm, mmmm, mmmm” indoctrination in public schools.

[Behemoth the Cat]

"Yes, that picture of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain reviewing the SS gave me the creeps. I actually didn’t want to believe that was him, so I had to look."

Probably Munich. He has a defeated look.
