Original period photograph of Adolf Hitler, depicting a uniformed figure standing in an open staff car, waving to a crowd during a parade or public appearance. The vehicle appears to be a Mercedes-Benz 770K “Großer Mercedes”, the model commonly used by senior German officials during state events and propaganda tours. The motion blur and spontaneous composition suggest this image was captured by an onlooker or press photographer as the motorcade passed.
Collector’s Note:
This photograph is a striking candid image that captures the dynamic energy of official appearances in the 1930s–1940s. Its sharp depiction of the iconic parade car and blurred backdrop of cheering spectators convey the movement and orchestrated spectacle typical of such events. A valuable piece for historians and collectors studying the visual culture and propaganda mechanics of the period.
