Photos from the 50-th anniversary of Hitler (18 photos)

Several rare color photos from the celebration of the 50 anniversary of Adolf Hitler, which took place April 20, 1939. We must assume that none of the many minions, flatterers and sycophants, saying the day of toast and lots of summer in honor of the beloved Fuhrer, could not assume the infamous and shameful end, waiting for the leader of the Reich after only six years.



on merit and reward ... and yet close Hitler sing his praises and pripodnosit very different, often very original gifts. Many donors face the same unenviable fate and well-deserved, as the hero of the day itself.

The first picture the famous automobile designer Ferdinand Porsche (center, in a civil suit), Adolf Hitler and the head of the German Labor Front, Robert Ley admire gift from the Fuhrer Porsche - Volkswagen convertible.

Hitler receives greetings from Heinrich Hoffmann, his personal photographer, and a little to the right of the queue waiting Theodor Morrell, the Fuhrer's personal physician.



Gifts received on significant anniversary, stored in one of the rooms of the Reich Chancellery.



A gift from Porsche especially liked Hitler. According to some reports, the Fuhrer liked to drive fast until 1939, when he suddenly began to show concern about a possible accident, and limit the speed of movement of their convoy up to 55 km / h.



In Reyskhkantselyarii continue to collect gifts, apparently not particularly beguiled the Führer - numerous paintings, sculptures and figurines. Noteworthy flower vase with swastikas in the right corner of the image.



Another gift - a model airplane Condor. Hitler clearly more interested in all kinds of technical stuff than paintings and vases. To the left of Hitler is Hans Bauer, the leader of the personal pilot.



Gold Model House of German Art (Haus der Deutschen Kunst), built in 1937 in Munich, the museum, designed to perpetuate the greatness and superiority of the Nazi art. This gift made Hermann Goering, commander of the Luftwaffe.



Once again, Ferdinand Porsche pleases Fuhrer car model.



And another model, unfortunately unidentified plants, handmade jewelry work.



In honor of the birthday of the father of the nation on the streets of Berlin's festive illuminations, Brandenburg Gate lit and decorated.



Of course, I held on the anniversary parade and rally.



The musicians are preparing to take part in the parade.



The axis of the East-West (Ost-West-Achse), a 50-kilometer avenue for mass street marches and parades of the Nazi master plan for the reconstruction of Berlin. The plot of this axis length of 12 kilometers was opened in time for the birthday of Hitler.



Troops marching in the face of the Fuhrer during the festive military parade.



Among the guests - the elite of the Reich, military and political. So far, the faces of the rulers of Germany who dream of world domination, once radiant with complacency and arrogance.



At the parade passes heavy artillery.



Soon will be columns of soldiers marched with banners. Similarly, the triumphant march, Hitler planned to go to Europe and the Soviet Union.



Congratulatory banner with the inscription «Wir danken dir» (Thank you). The inscription is clearly alluding to the famous Bach cantata «Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir» (Thank you, Lord, thank you). Adolf Hitler is now the role of the Lord, no more, no less.

Very soon in Germany will come hard sobering.
