You're Top Poster: #10   | Colour pic of Adolf's 50th This gentleman with an unhealthy interest in young children appears not to be enjoying his 50th birthday. Some colour photos of Hitler have come to light: Rare colour photograph of Hitler's birthday - Telegraph I always picture him in grey, though I suppose thinking about it the few colour pics I have previously seen show him in brown. A much cosier colour. Surely he must have been more impressive than this in real life; how could such a nondescript man wearing a hat several sizes too big get a whole nation so worked up? |

You're Top Poster: #3  | I wonder if it will come to light who they are and if they are still living?

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

I hope I'm wrong. Maybe I'll try and find out whether apparent ages of these children fit the ages of the Goebbels children. | |

You're Top Poster: #2 | I actually find the pic rather creepy/freaky. In all seriousness, can't put my finger on why though. Having said that, it would appear to be a valuable insight into the life of one of the 20th century's, if not of all time, most significant characters. Amazing to think what this "nondescript man wearing a hat several sizes too big" (great observation, AR) did to the world.

You're Top Poster: #1 | It wasn't until the last year that he started looking hagard (esp after July 20). Before then there are many pictures of him looking "healthy" and I think the paper is reading too much into that one picture. For example here he is doing the jig at the news that France had surrendered:

And the fact that this man, who took Europe into war and oversaw the deaths of millions, is seen holding the hands of little children.
