A color photograph of the bombed-out historic city of Nuremberg, Germany in June of 1945, after the end of World War II. Nuremberg had been the host of huge Nazi Party conventions from 1927 to 1938. The last scheduled rally in 1939 was canceled at the last minute due to a scheduling conflict: the German invasion of Poland one day prior to the rally date. The city was also the birthplace of the Nuremberg Laws, a set of draconian antisemitic laws adopted by Nazi Germany. Allied bombings from 1943 until 1945 destroyed more than 90% of the city center, and killed more than 6,000 residents. Nuremberg would soon become famous one last time as the host of the Nuremberg Trials -- a series of military tribunals set up to prosecute the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany. The war crimes these men were charged with included "Crimes Against Humanity", the systematic murder of more than 10 million people, including some 6 million Jews (as Allied/Jewish propaganda said. lol)

This is a rare find! A COLOR foto signed by BOTH Waffen SS General Herbert Gille and Gauleiter of Bavaria Paul Giesler. General Gille was one of only 27 men to win the Swords, Oak Leaves and Diamonds to the Knight's Cross. General Gille was the most highly decorated of ANY Waffen SS man during the war. Bavarian Gauleiter Paul Giesler commited suicide in 1945, so you know this foto is older than that.
