Eddieq Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Received an AMAZING lot today. Press photos, mainly of Hitler, released post war from the UK government press office. Some are known but others aren’t. I’ll post them as I verify them, some are unique! Photo 1- the envelope they were released in in the mid 50’s. Photo 2 - dated 01/05/39 - a captioned photo, I will release the caption if anyone wants it it but it is long and needs me to translate it!! Photo 3 - Hitler and Keitel- caption reads - “looking very glum as they inspect and armoured train wrecked by the Poles (29/9/39)” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddieq Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Caption reads “ Hitler, the eagle who swooped on Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland to defend our frontiers from the enemy, is here seen receiving a hand-carved eagle made of wood during his tour behind the Siegfried line. 1/1/40.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieq Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Caption reads “Amazing scenes were witnessed yesterday in Berlin when General Goring, the Prussian Premier, married Fraulein Emmy Sonnemann star of the Prussian State opera. Two hundred planes flew overhead in honour of the bridal pair. Following a civil ceremony at the Town Hall, where Herr Hitler was best man, there was a (illegible word) service in the floodlit flower (illegible words) cathedral”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he is wearing the fieldgrey wartime uniform instead of the brown pre-war party uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
