> John,

> We have just acquired a unique collection of about 5000 original Third
Reich
> photos taken by an authorized photo journalist with the Ministry of
> Information. There are many of Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, von Schirach,
and
> many other ranking NSDAP leaders. I think these need to be archived
