In the celibate and uptight anglosaxon New Continents for sure (even today), on the old continent Europe no problem since the late 40ies.Originally Posted by Annihilator9112
i cant belive how dressed up she is back in that time!! not even in the 50's women dressed like that..
Since the late 40ties, yes. However, these photos are from the late thirties or early forties. In this time the Nazis promoted a rather prim and proper outlook - at least officially. I think it is okay to classify the atire of that lady as, um, a bit unusual. It is probably a picture that was meant to be private.In the celibate and uptight anglosaxon New Continents for sure (even today), on the old continent Europe no problem since the late 40ies.
Whats unusual about it? Bikinis were around from before the war and that might just be the standard unisex one piece of the period and her arms crossed across her stomach?
Seeing these pictures gave me a new perspective. Instead of seeing black and white images that only shows contrasts, the colors also brings a new dimension to how these Germans were portrayed during the war. It's almost like as if you are there. At least, that's my perspective.
What ship is this?
Bought a copy at Dymocks back in '95. I was trying to research for a thesis on comparitive politics (How various political systems found common ground to work together, particularly during the pre-war years).
Unfortunately, it is a book to read/possess at your own risk. I was still in the RAN at the time and as soon as the XO of the ship I was on at the time got wind that I had the book (As well a few other "controversial" works) he siezed the lot and dumped them over the side.
Is that General Olbricht, one of the 20th July plotters?[URL="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2738/73229842yi4.jpg"]
It's an Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi/Condottieri class light Cruiser

Indeed, I have had to read parts of it as part of my history and politics courses, can't say I can think of a reason to possess it other than for Comp Pol purposes, and as you say it can send up red flags.

Does anyone have pictures of all the Nazi top leaders in colour with their faces facing squarely towards the camera ("portrait pose")?
Do you have the month and year of the Life issue these photographs was in?
Wow real nice pics, thanks guys
Actually she is quite prettyI thought exactly the same thing! Took alot of time before women actualy dressed that naked.
(although i just wiki it: "The bikini, which shocked when it appeared on French beaches in 1947" and "The modern bikini started to emerge again in 1907''
So she was probably one of the view.. (getting the attention of the germans)
Was curious about that myself.
What is this for?
Apparently, they're from an event called "Night of the Amazons"

The absolute control the Nazis exerted gave figures like Weber the means to act out their own private fantasies at public expense and, often, in public, presenting them as concerns of ‘national importance’. In Weber’s career this culminates in the ‘Nights of the Amazons’, grotesque Wagnerian pageants financed by the City of Munich, in which well-developed members of the Bund Deutsche Madeln (the Nazi girls’ squad) parade naked, apart from cardboard helmets and the odd sash, on horseback before an audience of tens of thousands.
great pics
