Relaxing with a cup of tea and sharing a joke with a crowd of admiring women - these are the rarely seen intimate portraits of Adolf Hitler at the height of his power.
The snapshots of the dictator were taken between 1936 and 1945 as the Nazi party strengthened its grip on Germany and then waged war against its European neighbours.
In one series of pictures from 1939, Hitler is shown admiring his 50th birthday present - a specially designed convertible VW, which was given to him by Ferdinand Porsche.
He received the glossy black automobile at his Eagle's Nest home in the Alps. The mountain-based chalet was built as a retreat for Hitler and a place for him to entertain visiting dignitaries.
In another set Hitler is seen laughing at a Christmas party in 1941. By this point over 43,000 British civilians had been killed in German bombing raids. The photographs were taken by Hugo Jaeger, who had privileged access to the Fuhrer during those tumultuous years. Jaeger was one of the early adopters of colour photography and created clear, evocative images. Unlike the Nazi leader's main photographer Heinrich Hoffmann, Jaeger took pictures both of both private events and huge propaganda spectacles.

And Eva Braun only ate Kobe beef and losbters.
Yes, it’s photoshopped. BigFurHat is a clever Photoshopper.
That's what I thought too. It seems too big for the body and the face is much clearer than the rest of the photo!
It is - you have to go to the link to see the real pictures.
Several of the photos show him with hands on hips, and one with his arms folded. If body language means ANYTHING, those poses tell ME that Hitler was as queer as a seven dollar bill. Eva Braun to the contrary notwithstanding, I think he was a fag!
Kinda looks like Sarah Silverman’s head shopped on that body.
It was “located”, boxed up and marked on the freight container as a “fire truck”, and shipped to Canada.
It was still there in the 1960’s - no idea where it is now.
One of the photos included at the link shows Adolph Hitler relaxing on a ship's deck chaise lounge next to one where a blonde woman sits. I found part of its caption interesting because it sounds like something Nancy Pelosi would have cooked up:
Adolf Hitler, wearing an Arbeitsfront cap, aboard the KDF Ship Robert Ley on its maiden voyage with Inge Ley (Robert Ley's wife) in 1939. German workers were offered free cruises through the 'Strength through Joy' scheme.
Well, Ernst Roehm comes to mind. Lets not forget the makeup and tut wearing Goering.
Well if he was so clever why didn’t he make the head proportional to the body size?
If yer gonna quote Zappa, I respectfully request you engage the spell checker. “What kind of GURU are you anyway? Don’t you know, you could make more money as a butcher? The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.”
Who photoshopped that girl’s head?
You know, not many people know zis, but der Furhrer was a terrific dancer.
Anyone care to guess what the little bitch would look like at age 70?
To same, to many, he was a “nice guy”, just like our little stalin at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. No difference. The monsters don’t have horns. (Is that, by the way, like something that you said in the censored comment # 1?)
