Amid rumours about his poor health, a video showing Vladimir Putin's shaking hand as he greeted Belarus's leader resurfaced this week.
The clip, which was filmed just before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, showed him gripping a chair and pressing his hand to his chest to stop it shaking as he greeted Alexander Lukashenko.
It fueled further speculation of the state of his health after footage and images appeared to show his bloated face and slouching posture.
But the scenes of Putin's apparent struggles are reminiscent of a clip that showed Adolf Hitler's own failing health as Germany faced total defeat in the Second World war.
In what was one of the last times the dictator was seen alive outside of his Berlin bunker, a propaganda video filmed in April 1945 showed him decorating members of the Hitler Youth who had been called up to defend Berlin.
The film was supposed to show how Hitler was still in command, even as the Soviet Union's troops closed on the capital.
But a telling part of the footage was cut from the final version and was supposed to have been destroyed.
The clip, which was discovered in an East German film laboratory in the 1970s, showed the Nazi leader's left hand shaking violently as he held it behind his back while greeting military officers during the same trip outside his bunker.
Many historians and experts believe that Hitler was suffering from Parkinson's disease at the time the video was filmed. The condition hampers muscle control and impairs mobility.

To say Hitler had Parkinson’s is pure speculation. Look, I didn’t think this stuff was a secret, but here goes. Hitler was slowly being poisoned to death for years by his personal physician, who was feeding Hitler a variety of pills every night at bedside.
IIRC it was Hitler’s personal bodyguard that found out about it and had the doctor killed, but much neurologic damage had been done by that point. This explains why Hitler’s strategic command at the beginning of the war was brilliant, and by the end was bordering insanity.
I am always amazed that the people who are the most offended by potentially homoerotic material, always seem to have an endless supply of it to show other people how offensive it is.
Don’t forget this mad dog killer has his finger on the button.
Nor does it stop you for uttering the word "launch".
Not true. Dr Morrell was killed while trying to escape from Berlin after Hitler killed himself.
It's good you're keeping a hold of it for.. archival purposes, I suppose, who am I to judge.
Well I appreciate the correction, it has been some years since I read Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich.
