Hitler, known to be a maniac, never had his own kids but he liked spending time with those of others. His Chief Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels’s six children were one of his surrogate families, as were the sons and daughters of his architect Albert Speer. In the main picture, 50-year-old Hitler stands surrounded by children in fancy dress, probably the sons and daughters of Nazi dignitaries, invited to his 50th birthday party on April 20, 1939.
The photo is one of several taken at the Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s chalet in the German Alps in Bavaria, according to the Daily Mail.The pictures were released by the Rue des Archives picture agency, founded in Paris in 1936.
