    Hitler photo just received

    I just received this Hitler photo that appears to be original. It came with a nice pile of original WWII German photos and picture postcards. Can anyone tell me who the other people are in the photo? The photo is printed on Agfa Lupex paper and measures about 2 3/8" x 3 1/2". What is this photo worth? Thanks.

      Can't remember his name, but the guy on the right was an early AH friend & supporter that played the piano and was US born.

        Here ya go: Ernst Hanfstaengl. He was born in Munich but later saw the had writing on the wall & dumped his AH connection & moved to the US. He wrote a book "Hitler's Piano Player" Hope this helps a little. Tom

              Sorry Tom. It's not Hanfstaengl but Hitler's Chief Adjutant Wilhelm Brückner

                  I confirm that it is Wilhelm Brückner.

                      I agree: it's Wilhelm Brückner, and probably two of the housekeeping staff at Haus Wachenfeld / the Berghof. They are standing outside of the glassed-in sunroom that led out onto the stone terrace above the garage and overlooking the Alps, probably to get the right sunlight for the photo. Can't tell from this shot what exact year it was taken as this part of the structure remained pretty much the same after the great expansion of the building. And it's windy up on the mountainside, hence Hitler's hair!

                      Nice, early piece; thanks for sharing.

                        It looks original - if it is it could easily sell for $100 - $150.
