Unseen photographs reveal the private life of Adolf Hitler – Telegraph.
We see the apartment that housed Hitler, and the office where he worked. But the photo that’s most revealing (and disturbing) to me is photo No. 8: This one shows Hitler laughing on a cruise ship in 1939. Laughing with him are two young women, probably in their 20s. One of them is looking directly into the camera, oh-so conscious of her proximity to power. This is Hitler as Alpha Male Celebrity — the Darth Vader figure who gets people to laugh when he does. Hitler laughing sounds like an oxymoron, but this photo — taken in 1939, before the death camps were set up — reveals the pre-Holocaust face of evil.

I guess it never occurred to me wonder what the decor of Hitler’s appointment would look like, but I never expected anything quite so . . .fancy. Did the alabaster nude.
