I haven't seen those pics before.
Thanks for posting.
Interesting, obviously the Italians wanted nothing to happen to him on their turf either. Can't say I blame them.

I have the impression that, especially, they did not want anything to happen that could also just worry his bodyguards _(please, pay attention to the faces of the German boys dressed in light gray...)

Yes, a lot of worried, serious faces. Both German and Italian. Any idea of the date of the pictures? It had to be pre-war.

info very appreciated !Bruno Gesche...
I believe that is Kurt Gildisch above Hitlers left shoulder...but not absolutley certain..been a long time since I read on this stuff..Gildisch was another drunk who did not fare as well as Gesche...if memory serves me correct I believe he actually got permanently drummed out of the SS for his drinking.
Perhaps guarding Mein Fuehrer required substance abuse to make it tolerable.:>)...either that or they were just plain ole alcoholics.
Funny thing is that in this age of accessible info on just about anything ,it is virtually impossible to find any post war stuff on Gesche.....one would think his proximity to Hitlers orbit would give him enough notariety to have some type of tracking on his "life after the nazis"...but not so.
Thanks for the pics..I enjoy seeing how many people,if any,I can acutally identify when something new comes along.
If interested, I can PM or e-mail you the two photos in a clearer format than appears here_
Agalland, I think you were correct on your first impression. That appears to be Gesche in the picture. (check out that huge enlarged nose from his alcohol issues!)
