Franz Thiele Painting

Post by bytwerk » 13 Oct 2023 14:10

Years back a visitor to my German Propaganda Archive provided me with this remarkable painting. Her father was based near Munich during the occupation and went into the beer hall where many of Hitler’s early meetings were held. She provides this background story: “The building had been bombed with the roof missing, but on one wall behind the podium where Hitler had spoken was this painting. For some unknown reason, this poor farm boy from Oklahoma took a liking to it, so he took it out of the frame and rolled it up and brought it back in a map case.”

Does anyone know more about this painting? Apparently, there was a postcard of it. I'm looking for a better quality image to use in a talk I'm giving. There are some details too fuzzy to interpret in the scan I have.

These location descriptions certainly sound more like the Hofbräuhaus than the Bürgerbräukeller.
