    I agree, Jon. The high leadership of the NSDAP were responded to like rock stars today, and they encouraged it. We've all seen numbers of photos of Hitler, Goebbels and many others signing autographs at Nuremberg Party Congresses, at the Berlin Olympics, at the Obersalzberg when hundreds of young and not-so-young people would spend hours "walking to the Führer" and waiting for him to come out of Haus Wachenfeld or the Berghof and give them a word of welcome...and sign a bunch of autographs, too...in short, at any opportunity people had to get close enough to their Gauleiter or a Reichsleiter or any of the Party notables to ask them for their autograph! We also know that people like Heinrich Hoffmann made a very good living by selling portrait post cards of many of the senior Nazis. These cards were sold at kiosks and local shops in every city and town and especially around every location where there was a rally or public appearance scheduled -- and permanently at such places as outside the FHH, the Berghof, the HDK, etc. -- all just waiting to sell photo post cards of the persons who were scheduled to be there that day. "Public Relations ÜBER ALLES!"

    I realize that the response to an autographed post card is often "fake" or "phony," and I don't doubt that there are many who have forged such signatures time and time again. But the real ones are definitely out there...no doubt about it! We have the photos to prove that these people signed such cards in real time! It makes me sad to think that we've fallen to the level of distrust that the presence of forgery in our midst forces us to respond to.

      I think what Colin was referring to was the fact that the H looks, at least in the images, as though it was drawn very slowly and deliberately, with signs of hesitation. Also, again this could just be the images, the first and last names don't look angled properly. The Hitler starts too low compared to the Adolf, and is angled up. In all the other examples, the baseline of the Adolf is basically the same as that of the H, while the itler angles down.
      Hope that helps.

          My God, it's just plain awful.

          It bears no resemblance to Hitler's signature in any way whatsoever. Everything is wrong with it - it's "drawn", "H" is wrong, "A" is wrong, placement is wrong...everything.

          You need to return it right away and tell Steve I said it was no good. It's a dog.

              I've sold dozens of Hitlers and was educated in their authentication under Charles Hamilton and James Lowe. If that Hitler is authentic, I will buy it from the owner and film myself eating it (salted, please) for everyone's viewing pleasure.

              It is an amateurish forgery, and that's being generous. And he would never sign that photo anyway.

                That photo card will be at the SOS, along with a salt shaker and video capability. You better be right cause your on.

                  Yeah, yeah...bring some tequila to go with the salt, wino. I presume you're partying. Probably shooting off that Bushmaster while posting on your OTHER favorite site!

                    Pipe down Platypus and put down the bottle of Booker's, you got a bet and you get salt and paper if your wrong.

                      Maybe it matches the original examples because it's been traced, and maybe Mr. Wolfe was trying to sell the weakest of his many AH signatures.

                          Thanks for the images, Chen - I imagine that's me eating the paper?!?

                          Can't be traced - the photo paper is too thick.

                          I wonder if the Wraith of God has sobered up yet? It's nearly noon in Greenland.

                              Been up bright and bushy tailed sine 6:00 A.M, just reading the news and it appears they did a study on global warming and auctioneers release more gas into the atmosphere than cow farts, staggering and the more they talk the more polar bears die. If the piece is bad its bad, but the show has all the players and it is what it is. Give the bears a break Billy and we will see what the story is at the show.

                                So, who will eat the paper?

                                PS) Don't forget to post the video here after SOS. Thanks.
