America now has it’s equivalent of the German-Austrian Tyrrant.
We’ll see how far ours will be allowed to go.
Um, I thought all they had back then was Kodachrome (color positives, aka slides).
The:n Volkswagen NOW: GM
He will make us proud of our nation again.
Hate the businessmen (jews). We will take from them and give to our followers.
It’s strange to see these in color.

There’s was an earlier thread on this.
Calling the infamous Nazi salute “sickening” is odd because it was just a salute [ nothing sickening in that ] which was modeled on the old Roman salute & was even still being used in the USA during the Pledge of Allegiance up until the same time period.
“IF HITLER HAD A TELEPROMPTER, WE WOULD ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN”.
In 1941 Kodak started Kodacolor film. I have no idea what Agfa did.

Some timely photos from D-Day operations as well
Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” is really coming back on me like last night’s Szechuan.
I never knew that stuff about Woodrow Wilson, the SOB was just plain scary nutz.
Benito Mussolini, however, comes off as much more of an intellectual than I imagined. Which doesn’t make him right.
As for B.O., I’m thinking of him as the American Allende.
It’s very strange.
FDR’s “Civilian Conservation Corps” uniforms were indistinguishable from the SA’s.
Hitler’s German economic “miracle” was built on the same all-too-familiar sand. It seems he had no choice but to invade and plunder his neighbors as his country’s artificially-pumped economy was months away from abject collapse.
Deliverance?
LOL!
Hitler watches military maneuvers in the spring of 1940:
“The great strength of the totalitarian state,” Hitler once said, “is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”

Unfortunately, he got that one right. Hitler/Benito/Stalin/Tojo were clearly seen as Men of Destiny and the wave of the future back in the thirties. He was the beau idol of the “liberals” and “progressives” over here then... much as they have striven to rewrite history.
Wilson closed the NYSE for months. Yes, he was a near dictator by any measure.
Facinating piece of video - what would a man like that find humorous I wonder?
Those photos were excellent and inspiring!
Yes, very strange. Definitely fascinating photos...
