Freising in the Third Reich

Cheers, Mannheim

I've just returned from Berlin where I took my Grade 11 students on a 4-day history tour. I've been struggling to figure out how to use layers on Photoshop to create the same type of before-after images as created by Sergey Larenkov, a photographer who blends photos from WWII with current ones: http://sergey-larenkov.livejournal.com/

in this tutorial they're all explained to reach the desired effect

nice now and then photos, always makes history more alive.

I was disappointed to have missed the showing at the local cinema here '13. Juni 1944', a documentary about an American bombing crew shot down over Sillertshausen in Kreis Freising. Three of the Americans were brutally lynched by fanatical members of the NSDAP district leadership in Freising.

The eagle that gives its name to the Adler Apotheke at Obere Hauptstraße dates from 1937, when it was Adolf-Hitlerstraße.

Sorry, am I blind? Can´t see the eagle in the left image.

The photo predates the Nazis. Looking at the items in the window (they appear to be socks) it predates its becoming a chemist's.

I found the image on the official website of the city:

It's labelled as apotheke, but the image is blown up on the website and it looks like it's a clothes store. It's interesting that it apears to show a sign for a cinema on the side road; there's a cinema there to this day. Saw Nosferatu there a couple of months ago; they're showing old films as part of its centenary.

The town's Nazi party HQ then and about an hour ago. The building is on the left. In the photo from the time, you can just barely make out the reichsadler painted in the centre above the words "Ein Volk Ein Fuehrer Ein (can't make out). The period pic comes from Peter Hacker's 'Freising- was die Stadt im 20 Jahrundert bewegte.' Finding the site today was useful as it puts the earlier pics showing anti-semitic graffiti in context, as the building affected is directly across the road.
