Hugo Jaeger is the former personal photographer of Adolf Hitler.

Jaeger was one of the few photographers who were using color photography techniques at the time.

To see color photographs of the good guys, check out the Roger Freeman Collection.

He looked so much more evil and intimidating in black and white.

Why didnt someone put a bullet in this scrawny little pansy sooner? He looks like he is related to Harry Reid or Mitch McConnel.

Color photography was rare before the 1950s.

Black and white was the dominant film medium.

Interesting mix. The seventh one down is Hitler speaking at The Burger Brau Keller on November 9, 1938 on the anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch. Planted in the column behind him was a bomb. If he had stayed another fifteen minutes or so after speaking he'd have been killed.

I’m seeing most of these for the first time. Thanks for the link.

Germany was the most technically advanced nation at the time and color photography was common there in the 1930s. See the Holocost Museum in DC.

Never has so much damage been inflicted by so few.

I would imagine most of those photograhed perished by 1945. To please the ambitions of one man.

Kudos to those on our side that put an end to him.

For a bit of a juxtaposition, here's some snippets of German troops in action.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHeXZWTWU3M

I always find pictures/footage of German troops extremely eerie. We know who the good guys were. I knew my grandfathers, great-uncles, their friends. Solid, patriotic, decent, hardworking American men. Quiet, regular guys who stepped up, did a job, fought the good fight in the face of global chaos. The German troops are in a totally different realm...They served an evil cause, but they weren't necessarily evil men. Looking at picture of them marching by, you know some of them are diehard Nazis, but there is no way of knowing which ones, no way of knowing what any of them truly thought about Hitler and the Nazi party. Individually they fought to stay alive, but collectively their fight has to be condemned. Some bad, many good, all remembered as "Nazis" and necessarily relegated to the "shall not be honored" bin.

I think the guy in the front right is Dr. Theodore Morell. Hitler’s quack doctor who had the “brilliant” idea of prescribing meds with arsenic in them. BTW, Morell personally had such poor hygiene that almost no one could stand to be near him because of the horrible stench that surrounded him at all times.

Maybe the ancestors of the current NWO who put obambi in power also pulled the strings for Hitler.

Looked like one may have been Dunkirk.

If you’re not careful, you’ll imagine that everything that happened before 1950 actually took place in black and white.

One cannot exclude these things when contemplating political/societal evolution.

However, I believe that the fact of the sheer number of stupid people alive during both times in history has a much larger influence.
