The Hofbräuhaus in Munich, 1940
The Hofbräuhaus in Munich in 1940; it was in its festival hall that Adolf Hitler apparently delivered his very first speech in 1918. Despite the rainy weather, it seems that the Hitler Youth group from Zuffenhausen—and others—consumed their obligatory liter of beer outdoors at tables improvised from beer barrels. However, the building in the background might actually be the Bürgerbräukeller—arguably more famous in Nazi circles—and Gruber’s photo may be mislabeled, as the archway does not appear to match views from that era. Whatever the case may be, this photo has an antisocial feel to it.
