Rare Color Photographs Show Hitler and Fellow Nazis Celebrating Christmas in December, 1941

Pictures, taken by Adolf Hitler's personal photographer Hugo Jaeger, from a Christmas party thrown by Hitler for high-ranking members of the Nazi Party in December, 1941.

The images are chilling, bordering on surreal: Surrounded by fellow Nazis, Adolf Hitler presides over a Christmas party. Swastika armbands jarringly offset the glint of ornaments and tinsel; candles illuminate the festive scene.

and is rumored to have not trusted his advisors.

Group of underlings have a similarly stiff attitude at the Christmas party held on December 18, 1941 at a Munich beer house.

Though they were in a beer hall, their best behaviour was required at the Christmas party and it is clear that they were not going to let loose.
