Unseen photographs reveal the private life of Adolf Hitler

UK Telegraph (photo collection of Hugo Jaeger) ^

[ConservativeStatement]

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.

I found some cool pics but whoever put them together doesn't appear to know what they're looking at. In fact one of the pics is a painting of a bomber going down.

"The very first essential for success," Hitler once said, "is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence"

Didn't work all that well for the little painter did it.

Painter, community rabble-rouser, six of one, half dozen of the other...

I searched a few other links and saw a photo of a bloodied German soldier with part of his arm on the ground and separated from him.

Interesting pics. The “Strength through Joy” cruise ship reminds me of something the communists would have come up with.

This is a picture of my Father taken at the monument in Tiergarten Park, supposedly of the first Russian tank to enter Berlin. I also have several pictures of the monument being built. Now here is the odd thing. the tank is a Stalin tank and a few days after this picture was taken, the monument was blown up during the night. If one looks up Russian monument in Tiergarten Park, you will find a different monument with two 34 tanks and they are described as the first Russian Tanks into Berlin. The current monument was constructed in 1945 same as this earlier one.

Adolf Hitler speaks in Munich on the 15th anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, in which Hitler and other Nazi party members attempted to overthrow the German government on November 8th, 1938

Choosing your new country: Rules of Thumb for immigrants: Do not emigrate to a country which can be overthrown by a bunch of yahoos who simply act stupid in a beer hall. In sane countries that's just called partying.

What an indelible image.

I’m confused. Is this article from 2009?

..."but they were more interested in a bottle of cognac...

Putting myself in the same situation and given a choice of photos of Adolph Hitler or a bottle of cognac, that would have been an easy choice.

These are the first Russian Soldiers they met outside Berlin.

I thought that Hitler’s personal photographer was Heinrich Hoffman, as in this story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1333831/Hundreds-Hitler-pictures-personal-photographer-brought-light-auction.html
