<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 56273, member: 44"]Hmmmmm.... one of the millions of Heinrich Hoffman postcards. There was something about him on one of the History Channel's WWII documentary that concentrated on Hitler. It seems Hoffman came up with a very lucrative idea for him and Hitler. He had Hitler copyright all of his images, then have the images made into postcards. BTW, this copyright included his image on German postage stamps so that a % of the proceeds of each and every stamp came to Hitler! As Hitler was idealized in Germany, there were literally millions of Hitler postcards sold in the 1930s resulting in Hoffman and Hitler making a small fortune from the sales.</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hoffmann" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hoffmann" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Hoffmann</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a site with Hoffman's Hitler postcards that includes a 1938 Hoffman catalog that has a pic of this card.
