Yes, you are indeed looking at a picture of Adolf Hitler at a Christmas party. It was taken on 18 December 1941 in Munich during World War II, at a time when the horrors of the Third Reich’s “final solution” grew ever clearer.
More images of this delightful event can be seen in the gallery below. Who knew swastika armbands could compliment the glint of ornaments and tinsel dangling from a giant Tannenbaum so well?
These photos were part of an enormous stash of color transparencies made by Hitler’s personal photographer, Hugo Jaeger, and buried in glass jars on the outskirts of Munich in 1945. A decade later, he exhumed the pictures. 10 years after that, he sold them to LIFE, which first published a handful of them in 1970.
