Picture of Adolf at a 1933 Dortmund Rally.

[Kev in Deva]

Hallo Gents,

I was browsing through a 1977 publication, a german magazine called ADOLF HITLER Das III Reich,

and on page 113 it shows a colour picture* (attached version is cropped) of adolf on a stage / rostrum in Dortmund 1933 to his left is Josef Wagner (cropped out), William Scheppmann, Hitler, & Victor Lutze.

What I notices is the picture seems to show adolf sporting a Silver Wound badge, and above this slightly to the left and higher than the EK I a Gau Badge?

* the pictures are originaly from: "Out of the 1933 Cigerattee Album Series, "Deutschland erwacht".

Please post any comments please.

Possibly a mistake that occured in the colorization process, caused by light reflection on the WB?

Hallo Paul would that not have affected the black core of the Iron Cross??

I will post another shot from the same book, which appears to show him* wearing a cut out version of the wound badge as well, dated 9 November 1923, (as soon as the battery charge up on my digi-cam )

* To my eyes and yes I wear glasses

Kevin.

As Rick explained these are hand-tinted but they might be of interest to some members, I wonder what the Gau tinnie is??

Looks like a silver cut-out.

The tinnie on the picture above looks like the 1929 Nurnberg Rally Tinnie ?:
