Local auction, A.Hitler photo

[Kiwi Ric]

Sellers Claim "B & W taken during a raid in Berlin in a newspaper office"


anyone?



edit, This is a local auction in NewZealand, chances are rare, fake i guess

In a newspaper office? They're supposed to be in the office? It looks like they're outside to me?

[Kiwi Ric]

I think what he is saying, is that the photo was stolen from a office

[PZIV]

Seems fishy to me, but you never buy the story anyway.

I'm not completely sure if it's original or not. Got a photo of the back?

[Kiwi Ric]

trying to get one now

This is a well known shot taken by Hoffmann camera men or perhaps Hoffmann himself of Hitler consecrating new Standards with the Blut Fahne at the Reichsparteitage.

My money says that this particular picture is a reprint. Hoffmann photos will have his markings on the back of the photo.

cheers,

Ramon

thanks Mark, yeah due to been so new to all of this, its like the worlds largest mine field, my only saving grace is these fellows on this forum! The heroes of the Militaria collector!

Great to meet another kiwi on here tho I might have to pick your brain!!!

G'day fellow kiwis! I saw this on TM as well and agree with Ramon. I would think only Hoffmann or perhaps a close associate would be able to get in so close at these ceremonies for pics, and his photos are usually seen with markings/info on the reverse. I'd give it a miss.
