RARE Photo of RUDOLF HESS Greeting at a Public Event

Original rare wartime photograph depicting Rudolf Hess standing in an open car during what appears to be a public gathering or rally. Several NSDAP officers and BDM girls are seen nearby, welcoming the official with flowers. A swastika flag is visible in the background along with crowds of onlookers. The image likely dates to the late 1930s or early 1940s, typical of propaganda-style event photography of the time.

Historical Context:
Rudolf Hess (1894–1987) served as Deputy Führer of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) until 1941. Known as one of Adolf Hitler’s earliest followers, Hess played a significant administrative and ideological role within the Nazi regime. Images such as this were produced to reinforce the cult of leadership and unity central to National Socialist propaganda. His later flight to Scotland in 1941, in an attempt to negotiate peace with Britain, resulted in his imprisonment for the remainder of World War II.
