nice photos, LIFE has always had an amazing collection and its nice to see they are putting more of them on the web. My father used to subscribe to the magazine when I was a kid and the highlight of my week was leafing though our copy, it was my window to the outside world (no internet back then).
Hitler is a fascinating figure, supposedly very charismatic. His portrayal in Downfall is how I imagine him to be. He had no problem finding very willing volunteers to carry out his most evil plans.
One question I have always wrestled with is whether there is something innate in the German character which allowed Nazis to find willing executioners to carry out the holocaust or if it could happen in any country, given the right circumstances. Unfortunately for mankind, I tend to believe the latter.
