That pic looks like a bad still from a death metal video by some band like Gorgoroth or Deicide. Actually, if Jesus was real and around today, that's probably what he'd be listening to. |

Berlin Historical Museum opens 'Hitler and the Germans: Nation and Crime'
A new exhibition opening this week at Berlin’s German Historical Museum aims to break taboos by exploring the fascination with Adolf Hitler and his relationship with the German people, the curator said.
Female workers cast stone busts of Adolf Hitler in 1937.
A bronze case in the form of a book given as a gift to Adolf Hitler.
An example of Nazi propaganda. The poster reads "Fellow countryman, when you enter here your greeting should be "Heil Hitler"!
A piece of advertising which ran from 1933 to 1945. It shows a member of the Sturmabteilung, or SA, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party.
A deck of playing cards featuring Adolf Hitler and other prominent Nazi officials. One purpose of the exhibition is to show how the Nazi ideology influenced the everyday.
A lamp featuring the swastika, from around 1940.
A collection tin for the Winterhilfswerk, an annual drive by the Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt (the National Socialist People’s Welfare Organization) to collect money for food and coal for poorer families during the winter months.
A propaganda poster entitled "The Greatest Victim" from 1943, designed to illicit donations for the Winterhilfswerk.
"The Third Reich" by Georg Netzband, 1935, showing the Nazi ideal of uniformity.
A painting by Adolf Wegener from 1944 entitled Nach dem Luftangriff ("After the Air Raid"). It shows a test of the Volksgemeinschaft in wartime, without showing how the war was generated by Hitler's Germany. |

Famous Hitler rally picture probably faked
14 Oct 10
thelocal.de/national/20101014-30503.html
A famous 1914 photo showing a young Adolf Hitler in the thick of the crowd at a First World War rally – which the Nazis later used as a propaganda picture – was probably faked, German media said Thursday. Düsseldorf historian Gerd Krumeich has studied the picture and its history and concluded that Hitler was superimposed to lend credibility to the image of the Nazi leader as a patriot and a man of the people, daily Die Welt reported Thursday.
The photo was taken by Munich photographer Heinrich Hoffmann at a rally in support of war against the allies in Munich’s Odeonplatz on August 2, 1914. But it was not until March 12, 1932 that it was published in the Nazi party newspaper the Illustrierte Beobachter, or "Illustrated Observer," the day before the presidential election, after Hitler’s opponents had attacked Hitler over his flight from military service in Austria-Hungary and questioned his patriotism.
The caption on the picture read: “Adolf Hitler, the German patriot … in the middle of the crowd stands with blazing eyes – Adolf Hitler.” The photo went on to become a favourite Nazi propaganda picture, appearing with captions such as “Adolf Hitler: a man of the people.”
Hoffmann, who was one of the founders and the main supplier of pictures for the Nazi paper, always claimed he had discovered Hitler in the photo by chance after the future Führer visited his studio in 1929. Hitler had told him he was at the rally, Hoffmann said. Hoffmann then dug out a glass picture negative he’d planned to throw away and found Hitler in the image. “I only needed to search for a very short time, one standing there, yes, it’s him – his hair falls over the forehead,” Hoffmann once said. “His face cannot deceive – it is him.”
Until now, that version has been regarded as fact. The photo of the future Führer in Odeonplatz has been used countless times in newspapers, Hitler biographies and school books. Most damningly, Krumeich found a different version of the picture in the Hoffmann photo archive in Bavaria. In that image, Hitler’s characteristic lock of hair over the forehead looks clearly different – suggesting the photo had been retouched. The glass plate negative to the picture has never been found.
Krumeich has looked for other photos of the same rally both in archives and in newspapers and books. He noticed that other pictures of the event taken from different standpoints, including a picture taken by Hoffmann, do not show Hitler. The picture is included in the new exhibition, “Hitler and the Germans – Nation and Crime,” which opens Friday. The caption on the picture mentions the doubts about its authenticity. |

I don't know if these are actually 'previously unpublished', but I've not seen them before... |

Hitler's birthplace revokes dictator's citizenship
8th July 2011
thelocal.de/society/20110708-36167.html
Sixty-six years after the end of World War II, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler has been stripped of his honorary citizenship in the Austrian city where he was born. The local council in Braunau, north of Salzburg, agreed unanimously to the move in a sitting on Thursday night, several Austrian newspapers reported Friday. Hitler was born in the upper Austrian city, whose full name is Braunau am Inn, in 1889.
Mayor Johannes Waidbacher said he was pleased with the unanimous vote, which had been a matter of priority for all the political parties in the city, daily Die Presse reported. Uncertainty as to Hitler’s honorary citizen status had reigned even among experts right up until the vote. Relevant documents from the years 1938 to 1945 were missing from city archives. As a result there was no proof of the dictator’s citizenship.
However it is regarded as certain that Hitler received his honorary citizenship from what was then the independent neighbouring town of Ranshofen. However, Ranshofen was subsequently annexed to Braunau in 1939. The decision Thursday night therefore technically scrapped Hitler’s honorary citizenship of Ranshofen. The city council explicitly distanced itself from national socialist ideology. The terrible results of the Nazi period must never be forgotten, the council’s resolution stated.
Hitler was originally Austrian but applied successfully for his citizenship to be revoked in 1925. He was stateless for seven years but in 1932 gained German citizenship as a holder of public office in the free state of Braunschweig. In 1938, Germany annexed Austria. |
