Re: Uncle Adolf
Looks fake to me. He wasn't that skinny to start off with, the roundness of his face does not match his physique in that picture either.

Re: Uncle Adolf
I've seen that pic in black and white.
Owen or Adam, wasn't that pic discussed over at WW2talk a few months back?

Re: Uncle Adolf
Don't think so mate.
First pic definitely colourised but I could believe it was a Hitler from the last few months of the war, his condition deteriorated so much.
What bothers me most is the physical proportions & stance, it almost looks like the children are posed with a wax model or mannequin, the arms too long & the hands somewhat strange with no sign of that crabbed Palsy evident in late war shots?
The kids are in fancy dress, maybe someone else has dressed up as Adolf?
Always a bit suspicious at such new 'family friendly' images of Hitler, they prove nothing of course but are often siezed on by the rather too 'pro' camp. A quick search reveals the S****front gang are certainly loving these, & Mr Irving is always a little keen on such shots.
Rue Des Archives appear to be a reputable French picture agency.
Cheers,
Adam.

Re: Uncle Adolf
The ears are another giveaway. Put your thumb onto Hitler's face but don't cover the ears and who does he look like? Goebbels to me

Re: Uncle Adolf
During the early years Hitler was often photographed for newspapers with kids for propaganda purposes. Just like Stalin actually. This photo is not a fake, perhaps some changes during the colouring done, don´t know. But if you want to see many pics with Hitler with kids just try google pics with search words " Hitler" and " children".
Here´s the original black-and-white:
Hitler's 50th Birthday

Re: Uncle Adolf
I think they made this photo (or remade him whatever you want) because ,with the new story of a son from Hitler, they can earn money from it.
yess back to the basics off this modern world: it's all about money.
