New LIFE Photos Of Nazi Germany

here is a quote from a closed thread on this topic (hopefully the guy sees it)



I'm an idiot? I can think of all the reasons why you're an idiot. First being that you think that I'm not entitled to my own opinion. Second being that Hitler was trying to reunify the Germanic Empire, which was not the world but rather a nice chunk of Europe. You know, the same empire that the allies split up and virtually raped after WWI? If you think WWII was all Hitler's idea, then you obviously have little experience in the subject; Germany was a proud nation and the Nazis were proof of how efficient and powerful they could become based on their own will.

As far as I am concerned, Nazis stuck to their plan quite well until Hitler decided to invade the USSR. Who knows what would've happened if they stayed allies.

Its the German Imperial Eagle, part of the German coat of arms.

1. On the German Embassy in Washington D.C. and every Consulate across the US.
   
2. On the souvenir German Euro coin you brought back from your holidays

haha, either way though an eagle is the symbol of supremacy, which is why both the Nazis and Americans flaunt it.

The Romans had them on their standards way before the US or the Nazis were using it.

Also, Napolean used the eagle on the standards of his Imperial Guard.

The Russian Tsars used the eagle, too.

I know I'm probably missing more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Out of all my years studying WWII, these have got to be the best images I have ever seen. The color on them is just amazing. Rather or not they were originally shot in color, is doubtful, but even if they were restored into color, it's simply awesome. But, I'm thinking they were originally colored due to the tone being consistent with older photos. Either way, these images really show a part of history that many people have long since forgotten.
