Rare photographs recently revealed show that as Adolf Hitler brought suffering and terror to much of the world, he was all smiles at home in the lap of luxury.
The Mirror reports that the never-before-seen pictures of the Fuhrer’s apartment at the Chancellery in Berlin and Berghof estate in Bavari were taken by Hitler’s personal photographer Hugo Jaeger in the years leading up to and throughout World War Two.
At the time, Jaeger was one of the few photographers in the world using color photography techniques. The photos are owned by LIFE Magazine. LIFE reports on how the pictures were nearly discovered over a half-century ago:
“In 1945, when the Allies were making their final push toward Munich, Jaeger found himself face to face with six American soldiers in a small town west of the city. During a search of the house where Jaeger was staying, the Americans found a leather suitcase in which Jaeger had hidden thousands of color photo transparencies. He knew he would be arrested (or worse) if the Americans discovered his film and his close connection to Hitler. He could never have imagined what happened next.
The American soldiers threw open the suitcase that held the Hitler images. Inside, they found a bottle of cognac that Jaeger had placed atop the transparencies. Elated, the soldiers proceeded to share the bottle with Jaeger and the owner of the house. The suitcase was forgotten.”
LIFE reports that Jaeger hid the picture transparencies in 12 twelve glass jars buried outside Munich, returning to retrieve the 2,000 transparencies in 1955. After storing them in a bank vault for ten years, Jaeger sold the photos to LIFE in 1965.
To date, only a fraction of the Jaeger collection has been published.

The onlylogical answer to why these EuroJew lawyers are not trying to the slavery reparations is because their families and bank holdings, and estates would probably be affected”.
Um, yea, no that is not a “logical” answer. With the exception that you appear to “dislike” Jews, none of what you have written even makes sense. Sounds like hand me down garbled hatred.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 11:41amHow ignorant can you be? Of course there is clear evidence that the ancestors of many African-Americans were slaves: diaries, letters, plantation records, bills of sale, family genealogies pressed into Bibles, even voice recordings of ex-slaves made as late as the 1930s. None of this evidence, however incontrovertible, bears on the question of the justice of reparations. Oppose reparations if you like ( I do), but don’t be stupid about it.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:23pmHitler was not on drugs. He loved the German people and the German way of life so much that he was willing to risk it all in order to preserve it. Unfortunately International Jewry raped pillaged and destroyed Germany.
The real question you should really be asking is what would enable, lead to, or cause a Nation to so loathe a race of people… Or you could blame it on drug obsession and demon possession. lol
Remember this is what JFK said about Hitler before Hollywood and the Media so poisoned your minds.
“Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived… He had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made..”
So JFK considered him a legend? You sir should probably do a little more scholarly work and rely less on the Media, Beck, and Hollywood’s caricature of the man. Or you can continue to sit back and pontificate like you understand a matter which I assure you that you don’t.

Report Post »“What could cause an entire people to hate another?” Good question. Easy answer. Because they’re different. They have strange customs and practices. They dress differently. They aren’t like everyone else.
Views like these are present throughout the vast majority of human history and are the driving force behind 90% of cultural disputes. Why did Muslims and Hindus not get along? What did the Greeks hate the Persian Empire? Why were relations between the Roman Empire and the Jews so heated? Why did the Catholic Church practically endorse Jew killing in the Middle Ages? Why did Europeans enslave Africans? Why did many early Americans despise the natives?
The answer breaks down to the same issue in the end: one culture unable or unwilling to understand the other and unable or unwilling to leave it alone.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 1:44amTo even compare Iran to Germany is moronic. Germany was and still is one of the worlds most industrialized nations in the world. They are a smart people who took advantage of a situation. Lets not forget, we ( United States) were not policing the world at the time. Had we been, we would have lost either the war all together if not millions upon millions of Americans.
We have to stop this policing the world so we can be strong enough to handle a “real” threat. The United States has one enemy. It is ourselves. We keep electing and nominating globalist, progressives, and warmongers. If we dont stop now, we wont be around the next time a country with real power (Russia or China) start acting up.
We literally would destroy Iran in a matter of days. They have no long ranges missles, a weak navy, almost no air force, and a fairly large meat shield army. Remember the first Gulf War? Highway of Death ring a bell? We killed like 100k in like 10 mins. Troops mean nothing.
Missiles, Navy, and Air Force are all that is needed. Stop the bases around the world crap, stop rebuilding countries we destroy. Bring our troops home to protect our borders.

The major difference is Germany had the capability. Iran has sand, rugs, in ground oil, and camels. They cannot even produce their own gasoline. Iran is not, and will not be a real threat for the United States. This is all warmonger propaganda. Now they become a problem if we try to do to them what we did in Iraq. Problem is, it seems we are using the same play book.
Sanctions
No fly zone
Bombing air defense
Land invasion from the 20 bases surrounding Iran currently.
Rebuild them
That is when the only thing they can do effectively comes into play. IEDs and gorilla warfare. Iran is not worth losing one American for. If they do start to develop a bomb, Israel will take it out with missiles and or air power. Something they can do and Iran cannot stop.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 10:31amStalin did not in fact live “like a king.” Except on state occasions, prior to WWII he dressed very plainly, ate very plain food and (surprisingly) drank very little. It is said that his apartment in the Kremlin was very sparely furnished, as was his dacha outside Moscow, and his quarters aboard his special armored train during WWII. As a matter of fact, all were aparently identically furnished. Wherever Stalin was, he liked to be, in effect, in the same place.
What was (or is) evil about these dictators is not their own lifestyle, but the suffering they inflicted on others.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:06pmI’ve heard this mantra about Mao and Hitler as well. One has to remember that propaganda is the most important tool at a socialist’s disposal.

Communism is NEVER sold as communism. Totalitarianism is NEVER sold as totalitarianism. All are ALWAYS sold as something else.
Hitler was a vegetarian and didn’t smoke or drink. Did you know that Nazi Germany was the first country ever to have a smoking ban in public buildings? Isn’t that great? How healthy and progressive!
