| note to forum all open to public access now from the Bundesarchiv's in Germany, have been for the lst two years, they are listed by dates 39-45 though 1945 are scant and few. Mostly b/w obviously, many of course are recognizeable due to them being processed in books back in the 60's early 70's.

| Dan, great work on your part. Many thanks for posting. Three observations: There are VWs still running around that look exactly like those in the pictures. Unbelievable. That is a good picture of one of the Scheers. The blonde, I suppose she is Eva Braun ain't half bad. Hitler had good taste. Historic pictures from around 70-80 years ago! |

| Nice pic's renrich and Les. really captures those moments (in my opinion) a little better than a black and white photo. think I saw a special on the military channel on the third reich in color this summer. Forgot the name of the series, but it was worth watching.

| It really helps you capture what it must have been like to be there. Some of those parades and buildings look so meanacing/opulent, and effect that truly could not be captured with black and white |

| There is such a sense of immediacy to the photos, almost as if they are current. Perhaps the color photos lighten the atmosphere of the scenes.If one did not know the history of the Third Reich and the Nazi party, most of the photos would be very benign looking. Other than a rather Germanic look to the uniforms and the visages of the people and of course the haircuts look dated, those pictures could almost be of a country today. |

| Great photos. However the architecture, the rallies, the muscular young men, and attractive young women were all part of a deliberate propaganda policy to promote Nazi ideals and image. The architectural style was neoclassicist and monumental in concept. Residential architecture was conversely intended to promete the quaint and homely. For me its too much over the top. The monumnets tend to overpower the human scale (as they were intended to do) whilst for me the residential style is cynical and contrived. I am not a great fan of any of this.....I prefer the modernist and post modernist styles, with their emphasis on functionality and attention to the human scale.
