Is that, as the Mirror claims, Hitler's study in his private apartment? Or is it his study in the Reich Chancellery?
Trick question: he lived in the Chancellery.
But I'm not buying that this was in his "private apartment." IIRC, Hitler liked to receive visitors in this huge space, which suggests it was quasi-official. (400 square meters, says Wikipedia.)
Anyway, cool to have a color photograph; click through for a couple of color shots of the old bastard himself.

Is that a parade ground between the desk and the sitting area?
ReplyDeleteActually, one thing this reminded me of was visiting Judge Wisdom's corner office in the building bearing his name on Camp Street. That office was the largest office I'd ever been in, and furnished completely with turn-of-the-19thC cherry law office furniture, with glass bookcases obviously filled with a very serious law book collection. It wasn't furnished in a way designed to be intimidating, except that the very size of it was intimidating.
I wonder if anyone is allowed such grand use of space by the AO any more....
Perhaps Edith Jones has her digs there now?
ReplyDeleteI do hope Judge Wisdom ended his days without anyone's pointing out to him any superficial resemblances between his office and Hitler's study .... ;)
Hitler's taste in architecture ran to the grandiose, and Speer was happy to oblige him; I think this Reich Chancellery was Speer's first project for him.
Adolph and Eva shared an apartment next to Arny and Rosa, according to the British comedy series, Heil Honey, I'm Home.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your
ReplyDeletearticles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
However think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the best in
its niche. Excellent blog!

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found
ReplyDeletea sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
