I've always wondered about those monuments, too....seems like the Nazi's had a fixation on things being ridiculously over-large; I always thought it was a subtle promotion of their "superman" ideals.

Good pics otherwise, I hadn't seen a couple of them.

Hitler fancied himself as an architect. I have seen examples of some of the paintings he did and I thought that he had some talent. My favorites are Remington and Russell and Moran, so what do I know? I am a Wagner fan also so maybe I relate to these photos better than some.

Nothing wrong with those guys! Hitler did have some abilities on the canvas, but nothing I would hang in the Louvre.

Yeah, or the Metropolitan. Churchill. Now I could take Churchill's paintings anyday over Hitler. He was certainly no Monet, but he did have some talent in painting.

Those are excellent, thanks for posting.

Have anybody noticed in second picture from the bottom, the one with battleship in the background, how all Kriegsmarine officers are giving Hitler Nazi salute except the one man in the middle who is saluting "the army way". I find that very interesting.

vikingBerserker · 10-02-2009, 06:19 PM

I noticed it yesterday. I was trying to figure out if it was that or he was just caught in mid salute. But I think you're right.

RabidAlien · 10-03-2009, 10:32 AM

Kinda makes you wonder if he's one of those who served Germany, not Hitler...and is giving his salute to Germany and not the man. Which leads to...how long before he "disappeared" into the night?

Some more:

88 mm Flak 18 on landing craft, black sea 1941.

Abandoned T-34, 1942.
