Ceea ce au in comun aceste carti, este dezvaluirea faptului ca proiectul "Solutia Finala", departe de a fi fost tinut secret fatza de populatia de rind (cum se credea ...), a fost facut cunoscut natiunii germane ..., ba mai mult, regimul nazist a insinuat in mod deliberat obiectivele Solutiei Finale in constiinta oamenilor de rind, spre a-i face in mod diabolic complici la crima, asigurind prin sentimentul de culpabilitate si oroare ..., suportul lor neconditionat fatza de liderii si de cauza nazismului."... the Final Solution emerged as their nation’s defining act, one that would provoke a terrible retribution. This dread was “an unexpected by-product of the continuing Christian convictions of the great majority.”
But it was also rooted in a matter-of-fact understanding that, ... as a soldier who had witnessed the massacre of a village of Jews on the Eastern Front put it: “God forbid we lose the war. If revenge comes upon us, we’ll have a rough time” ...,
"Surely, one factor—one whose power cannot ultimately be determined—was the Germans’ fear of the terrible reckoning that must follow from their open secret, a secret Goebbels obliquely but unmistakably shared with the nation in a grim 1943 exhortation to fight to the bitter end:
“As for us, we’ve burned our bridges behind us … We will either go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or the greatest criminals.”
The Final Solution had given the Germans no way forward but Armageddon.

Fotograful german Hugo Jaeger a fost colaboratorul lui Heinrich Hoffmann (fotografului personal al lui Hitler).
Jaeger este printre primii care a produs fotografii color.
A murit in 1970, ...
dupa ce a vindut revistei LIFE colectia sa de mii de fotografii color facute in slujba propagandei naziste,
documentind evenimente petrecute intre 1938 si 1944 in Austria, Germania, Polonia, Italia, Ungaria, Romania ...
Iata si o fotografie Agfachrome facuta de Hugo Jager in 1941, la Bucuresti, pe bulevardul Bratianu ...
Clişeul e de milioane! vânzătorii de ziare din Bucureştii războiului erau băieţi de la ţară.. Şapca e de la o uniformă de gardian public sau, poate de la uniforma partdului "frontul renaşterii naţionale"..
Poţi să dai sursa? Aş vrea să mai văd fotografii din seria asta. "Agfachrome" nu cred să fi existat atunci, e un proces direct pozitiv care, bănuiesc fără să fiu sigur,a apărut mai târziu.

Agfachrome a existat si iti redau un mic istoric:
Ideea de fotografie color a circulat inca de la aparitia inventiei. Primele experimente in culoare nu au fost un succes si nu au putut impiedica decolorarea fotografiilor. Prima fotografie cu culoarea permanenta a fost facuta in 1861 de fizicianul James Clerk Maxwell.
Primul sistem color, Autochrome Lumiere, a aparut pe piata pe 17 decembrie 1903. Acesta era un sistem de fotografie color transparenta. Fotografierea se facea pe trei placi fotografice alb/negru cu substante cromatice sensibile fiecare la culorile rosu, verde, albastru. Pentru compunere cele trei fotografii transparente se suprapuneau dand o fotografie color transparenta.
Pelicula color moderna, KodaK color, a aparut in 1935 si se baza pe emulsii tri-colorate. Majoritatea peliculelor color moderne, cu exceptia `Kodak color`, se bazeaza pe o tehnologie dezvoltata de Agfa din Germania in 1936.
Mergi pe site`ul lui TIME&LIFE Picturessi in field`ul SEARCH (stinga-sus) intra:
"Hugo Jaeger, Romania" ...
vor apare vreo 5 poze, pe care poti da click.
PS. poti face si alt tip de search, de exemplu doar numele fotografului si apoi "refine results", de ex. cu "keywords"
Hitler nu a dorit sa lase urme inflamatoare despre Solutia Finala ... (ar fi inflamat opinia publica internationala ...)
Hitler o patise prin 1939 cind semnase ordinul
"T-4 euthanasia program", pentru eliminarea cetatenilor germani (cam vreo 100 000), considerati "unworthy of life" (documentul exista).
A intimpinat o ... intensa opozitie din partea clerului si altora, ...
si a fost fortat sa revoce FORMAL programul in 1941, ... continuindu-l in secret ...
Asa ca Hitler a invatzat lectia ... nu mai semna nimic !!
Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, in a speech given at Poznan (Poland) to a meeting of SS Major Generals on October 4, 1943, acknowledged how secret the Final Solution was:
"We will never speak of it publicly. . . I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish race. ...
The Jewish race is being... exterminated... that`s quite clear, it`s in our program elimination of the Jews and we`re doing it, exterminating them ...
This is a page of glory in our history which has never been written and is never to be written..."
Rudolf Hoss, the Commandant of Auschwitz, wrote after the war that Adolf Eichmann, the bureaucrat in charge of organizing the deportations of Jews to the death camps, was "the only SS officer who was allowed to keep records concerning these liquidation operations, according to the orders of the Reichsfuhrer-SS [Himmler].
All other units which took part in any way had to destroy all records immediately."Adolf Eichmann, in his memoirs, published in 1980, said:
"Around the end of 1941 or the beginning of 1942 Heydrich, the Chef of the SIPO [Security Police] and SD [Security Service], told me in conversation that the Fuhrer had ordered the physical destruction of the Jewish opponent."
Elsewhere in his memoirs, Eichmann offered a virtually identical version of the content of Heydrich`s message:
"The Fuhrer has henceforth given the order for the physical destruction of the Jews;" and "The Fuhrer has ordered the physical destruction."Eichmann asked for no written order.
Hitler`s wish as expressed through Himmler and Heydrich was good enough for him.(din articolul Raspuns catre Holocaust Deniers)
ZIUA s-a intrecut pe sine in demonstrarea lipsei de respect fata de Shoah ... a publicat niste articole care sa incite dusmanie si datu`n stamba.
Parchez aici citeva comentarii ...,
de care precis ma voi mai servi cindva.
