Hello to all ; more, after rummaging around ..............................

Hitler visits the German Fleet at Kiel.

AH with ???..........................

To the right of Hitler stands NSKK-Korpsführer Adolf Hühnlein. In the second picture if the Führer stands with Kapitän z. See Lütjens, then I think the ship was the "Karlsruhe".

Hello to all ; a little complement.................

Hitler visit to Kiel on 22 and 23 May 1933.

Goebbels' diary: two days on the fleet: wonderful. With Hitler and Papen. Large reception. Blomberg, Raeder. Raeder committed with the Navy to Hitler. Parade of the garrison. Hitler presided from the front. Admiral Gladisch. A fine man. He takes me with him to one night exercise in the Leipzig. So it was only a kind of good will tour.

The Führer with his Kriegsmarine.

The visit to the naval fleet must have been early (Goebbels describes a visit in 1933), as the ship flies the pre-NS war flag....
