Hitler without moustache
The picture depicts two versions of a photograph of Adolf Hitler that was retouched by an artist of the United States Secret Service in 1944 in order to show how a fugitive Hitler may disguise himself in order to escape capture after Germany’s (then imminent) defeat. Since Hitler’s death was not a certainty in 1945 the pictures were posted up all over Germany in the summer of 1945 to ease finding the (potentially) “fugitive” and camouflaged dictator.
