Hitler photograph

[historyrecovered]

Hello all

Attaching photo ...wanted to confirm this indeed is Hitler himself. Not worried about date of production just that if it is him .

Thanks for your opinions !

Given the location, pose, and the behavior of the people in the photo it looks to me that it's a statue of Hitler rather than the man himself. Dwight

Yes I guess that's possible... its a little odd that there's no military officers near him nor is anyone looking at him

Doesn't look like a statue to me, could be the man himself. Unpublished Photo Of Adolf Hitler And Children

Hitler did not allow statues of himself to be erected, anyway.

It looks like a waxwork dummy to me, the guy behind it looks like he's keeping it steady, on the unpublished photo link that is!..

Tom has it right...Appears to be an early photo ('33-'36) when regular "pilgrimages" still took place to the Obersalzberg to see the "Volkskanzler"...Nice!

Well it does have the bertshgaden printer stamp on back. ...and it almost appears the bertshgaden home is the building in background

The person is selling this for $65.00. Good price ?...

[bigmacglenn]

Photos can be tricky to price...It simply comes down to the question "How bad do you want it?"...$45 would be better, but $65 is about right from a dealer...
cheers, Glenn
