intereresting photograph, possibly Hitler, or his doppleganger....

[Julekpl]

Hello again...I am not sure if these are rare or not, but I believe I found a picture of Hitler with a ship captain, possibly on some ship. I am not sure whether or not this is Hitler himself or a doppleganger...from what I can tell it is a photograph that has been taken to the NKVD, and stamped there, but that is all that I know of it. I did not find this picture anywhere online, and from what I can tell, this might have been an early war picture....any thoughts?

It is a photo of Hitler, but it is likely a fake or reprint.
The scribble on the back makes no sense.........

The guys KM uniform makes no sense. Officer cadet cap with admirals jacket.

The markings on the reverse resemble well known reprints, from Russian archives if I remember correctly.

I swear, there is nothing authentic in my city

The man seen in the photograph is Admiral Erich Raeder, photographed at Kiel in 1933.

He is not wearing an "officer cadet cap", but simply the old-model Reichsmarine-era naval officers' peaked cap, which did not have the later models' visor ornamentation; also note the absence of the national eagle on the cap top.

(The print is fake; there is nothing wrong with the actual image.)
