Mike Lilly writes on about the Kucera collection “Hitler family photo” Hitler’s family, or not? THE family picture shows some hope of being genuine, though I can’t really see the details too well. If I could see better what is purported to be A. Hitler , I could tell instantly. If the picture is genuine, we are seeing Klara , Alois-the-father , Edmund , Adolph and Paula .
Alois the son and half-brother to Adolf is not evident, but I believe he had departed the family about this time. What raises interest for me particularly is the person who could be Paula. I see in that little girl’s pose a quiet, demure, modest, well-behaved and shy soul, which is precisely what we know about her as an adult. But it’s a far stretch for me to be reading that much into the picture.
Klara looks a bit too wide in the hips and thighs, which is not consistent with descriptions of her. It could be the manner in which the skirt is folded. Mike Lilly
