"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
Adolf Hitler rehearses gestures intended to look spontaneous while listening to a recording of one of his speeches. The photos were taken by his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann in August 1927.
They were sold by N.S. Photopropaganda Hoffmann as "photographic moments taken during a speed of Adolf Hitler".
Very interesring historical photos
Hello Stefan, some fantastic photos, regarding the pics of the christmas party with gunther lutzow, this is 1940-41 as you rightly say, lutzow was with jagdgeschwader 3 at this time, you can make out the badge of III/JG3 on the front of the stage, axe on a white shield, best regards Willie
Hello Willie,
thanks a lot for your confirmation. You are really hawk-eyed, I did not notice the badge.
Now I want to show you a nice set of large original press photos, all of them are from the historical picture library Heinrich Hoffmann.
1) Hitler watching the German advance in Poland, September 1939
2) Hitler in conversation with Ion Antonescu, Prime Minister and dictator of Romania. They met several times, sadly I do not know when the photo was taken. On the left of Antonescu there is Keitel, is that right?
3) Early portrait of Hitler. I think it was taken in the early 1930's. What do you think?
4) Early photo of Hitler between together with the SA. Also early 1930's?
5) Hitler giving a speed in front of the Reichstag. Late 1930's?
6) Hitler with a captured flag of a Polish regiment, September 1939. Between Hitler and Himmler, is this Martin Bormann or Julius Schaub?
7) Hitler together with Mussolini, Keitel and the famous flying ace Adolf Galand during lunch at an airfield.
8) Hitler and Göring making pland in the Reich Chancellery, date unknown.
9) Mountainside retreat Obersalzberg, 1943. Does the background really look like the Obersalzberg? Probably the presentation of a uniform? Is this the German Wehrmacht officer Otto Ernst Remer who explains the uniform to Hitler?
I am conceivable for every answer.
Best regards,
Stefan
Yes it is.by SH89
Definitely Schaub.
Thanks a lot!
Can someone confirm my assumptions regarding photos 3, 4 and 5? And it would be very interesting to clarify if the last photo really was taken at the Obersalzberg.
Hi Stefan, pic 3 looks late 1920s, also pic 4, just look at the faces, the man of the moment, more superb pictures thank you, Willie
Some questions that still remain:
1) -

Thanks for all your help!
Best regards,
Stefan
In the meantime I was able to clarify nearly all remaining questions.
2) Ion Antonescu received his knight's cross on 6th August 1941. Am I right in assuming that he is wearing this medal on the photo? If that's true, the photo was taken after this date.
5) Late 1930's seems to be correct.
7) August or September 1941, Eastern front
8) Date still unknown...
9) Presentation of the new windblouse for the Gebirgsjäger (mountaintroops), probably around 1938
More photos coming soon!
Best regards,
Stefan
