The most virulent racists are liberal democrats. thinking it themselves and always ascribing evil to others motives. Nor is there a racist quarterly magazine that publishes this apparently well known code. Because you can bet they don't hang around those "racists" they blame things on and hear them talk. Interesting they always seem to know exactly what the "code is." Could it be it is because they think that way themselves? Yes it is. I've noticed that it is the latent racist liberals who always sees racism "code" in other's words. Hitler knew that the colors red, white, and black combined create a psychological sense of intimidation and power, which is why a lot of propaganda like these banners use the same color combination.
In Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler defined the symbolism of the swastika flag: the red represents the social idea of the Nazi movement, the white disk represents the national idea, and the black swastika, used in Aryan cultures for millennia, represents “the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of creative work”. The black-white-red color scheme is based upon the colors of the flag of the German Empire, the black-white-red colors were commonly associated with anti-Weimar Republic German nationalists after the fall of the German Empire. Images from the Nuremberg rallies still impress us today with the absolute precision and dramatic scale of the stage set by the Hitler regime on the Zeppelin fields. They reveled in tales of heroism and glorified war. Nighttime processions lit by fire and bonfires upon which books were burned were all choreographed for effect. Everything was carefully staged and orchestrated.Īdolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels (in box) at Charlottenburg Theatre, Berlin, 1939. There was nothing accidental or incidental about Nazi pageantry.
The men wearing it felt empowered by the menacing appearance of the uniform. On the SS uniforms, the addition of the skull and crossed bones, the totenkopf, was a deliberate move to instill fear and terror in the hearts of anyone who faced the uniform. The armbands worn on black uniforms are a striking statement of virility and supreme confidence. They are sharp, carefully tailored to catch the eye, and made to inspire passions. Long, draping banners and standards with Roman eagles and gilded leaves all were designed to evoke images of strength, power, and a connection to history. There was nothing accidental about the structure of the crooked cross or the usage of dramatic colors such as red, white, and black. The symbols and colors of Nazism were all carefully orchestrated to have a maximum psychological effect. Here we see the Nazi world through these rare color photos. The Nazis had an incredible sense of aesthetics and fully understood the power of iconography and branding.Īdolf Hitler makes keynote address at Reichstag session, Kroll Opera House, Berlin, 1939. Nazi party was not just a political organization, it was an evil psychological propaganda machine. In 1965, Jaeger sold them to Life magazine. He dug up all of the photographs ten years later in 1955, storing them in a bank vault. The photographer returned to the burial place over several years to ensure they were safe. Jaeger buried the photographs inside 12 glass jars outside Munich. When the soldiers opened the case, however, their attention was distracted by a bottle of cognac they found there, which they opened and shared with Jaeger. He then encountered American soldiers prompting fears of potential arrest and prosecution for carrying around so many images of such a wanted man. As the war was drawing to a close in 1945, Jaeger hid the photographs in a leather suitcase. He was one of the few photographers who were using color photography techniques at the time. He traveled with Hitler in the years leading up to power and throughout World War II. The photos on display here are taken by Hugo Jager, a former personal photographer of Adolf Hitler.
