Unseen photographs reveal the private life of Adolf Hitler
UK Telegraph (photo collection of Hugo Jaeger) ^

A set of photographs showing the private side of Adolf Hitler have been published for the first time. The colour pictures come from the collection of Hugo Jaeger, Hitler's personal photographer, who captured him on camera him from 1936 to the final days of his rule in 1945. Jaeger hid thousands of transparencies in a leather suitcase at the end of the war. The case was found by six US soldiers as they searched a house near Munich where he was staying but they were more interested in a bottle of cognac he had also slipped inside.

Sentries guard the entrance to Adolf Hitler's office in the Chancellery. Hitler was obsessed with oversized architecture and overly grand monuments that would awe and humble any visitor Zero asked if they could install one of these in the entrance to the Oval Office.
(Were the cameras that bad in those days? This is a professional photograph taken by a professional photographer.)

This is a picture of the Berlin Polo Grands and a football game between the 82nd Airborne and the Combat Engineers. both Eisenhower and Zhukov attended the game. Marshall Zhukoff was asked which team he was rooting for and he said "The Engineers, they are wearing red" The Engineers did win the game.

Maybe the negative was damaged somehow or he was under attack during the processing and couldn’t wash it as long as he needed to.
None of the photos I saw at the link showed the private life of Hitler, as the headline claimed. Every photo I saw was from a public event. What’s the big deal?

A couple of the strength through joy ships were used to evacuate German refugees from East Prussia and Danzig ahead of Soviet troops. Some of them, such as the Wilhelm Gustloff, were torpedoed with great loss of life.

My Father found this picture in the burned out Luftwaffe building. It is a photograph and had the word "Hoffman" stamped on the back. It also has his address in Munich.

This is a picture of a pontoon bridge put across the Rhine by the 208th Engineers Combat Battalion. The Rhine is very swift so the had to curve the bridge into the current to keep it from being broken by the current. They were under artillery fire during the construction.

I am more interested in remembering his victims.

That pic there reveals an incredibly sexist and inappropriate way to treat Angela Merkel. Add to the contrast that Germany is essentially an ally and the way he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia and the Premiere of China.
I think you can see in her expression and expressions and body language of others there that it was not appreciated. Complete submission to our enemies and thuggish stupidity with our allies. Commie POS!

I suspect heavy retouching of this portrait, making Hitler look human and Nordic, if not handsome. Particularly noticeable with his nose.

This is a picture of a pontoon bridge put across the Rhine by the 208th Engineers Combat Battalion. The Rhine is very swift so the had to curve the bridge into the current to keep it from being broken by the current. Caesar built a pile driven, wooden bridge over the Rhine 2000 years before that in just 10 days.
I remember Peter "Robocop" Weller suggesting that to the Germans watching this being accomplished from the far side, it must have been as amazing and frighting as watching a Moon landing.
It certainly worked as a Shock & Awe demonstration as all Caesar did was march his Legions over into a now empty landscape, turn around, march back across and tear the thing back down.
That kept the Germans quite pacific while Julius went on to conquer all of Gaul.

It is a mistake to humanise a demon. Would you prefer the photographs be burned?

I saw that story a few years back on one of the military or history channels. I mentioned it to my Father and he was amazed they were able to do it. He said the river was so swift that if you held your hand down it in, water would fly up.
Of course Caesar's troops didn't have 88s firing at them while they built their bridge. It was also attacked by jets tho their bombing was inaccurate. This picture was taken fairly soon after the Russians took the city.

To reference Chris Rock on Jermaine Jackson: "Hitler was a greasy MF!"
It's been long told about Hitler's habits, but that dude hasn't washed his hair in weeks.

I have a problem with the picture that you posted.
You should have used Mussolini rather than Hitler.
