Himmler's mistress
Re: Himmler's mistress
Yes Max, but often not wrong. Important is that we Axis History does not make mistakes or, worse, we appropriate photos, articles, research, without citing the source, but this does not happen to us I am happy if others copy Axis History: here we have scholars, researchers, important authors. What do we want more? Here is an example of a complete copy of which is about this post

Re: Himmler's mistress
I agree it is important to be correct, but this man doesn't even have the courtesy to ask. If he found the information on the internet, then others can, and do. Instead of just posting images in "his" gallery as if they are his, he could at least have the courtesy to quote the source. I have been sent the photos of Potthast by someone and if I ever reproduce them, I will quote the source. Why can't he?

Re: Himmler's mistress
No-one has tried to pretend (or even has the slightest interest in doing so) that pictures were "his" - but just to illustrate for this french forum an article about Potthast. No-one in that forum thinks that the pictures are the author's property; they are just used as illustration. France is very poor on nazi documentation and the article was only for informative reasons. Nowhere is there any will to sell, publish, or make money or anything of the sort, or even seem the ayatollah of nazi photographic documentation. Sources are cited at the end of the article as they are labeled, and if it so happens that such or such pic from NAC or Bundesarchiv are someone's personal property then it is a mistake and deserves a sincere apology which I hereby submit. Shall I commit hara-kiri right now ? Or will banishment from the place where all the scholars and important people are be enough ?
Re: Himmler's mistress
While I agree with you generally that it is not about making money but
somehow it would be nice if people would give credit for the photos they
use.
Once someone puts photos on the web its pretty much impossible to stop
people from using them but its also common courtesy to give credit where
its due.
Everyone enjoys the Gebhardt's site only issue again is that there is no
credit for the photos acquired. Personally I am pleased to see such
collections. Its obvious that his interest began some years ago
and made a habit to meeting some of those people.

Exactly Annelie, and no need for the stupid overreaction from the previous poster. Von Gebhardt may be providing photos and documentation, but that still does not abrogate him from the courtesy of recognizing the owners of images he is circulating. This is a common courtesy expected by most forum sites, including this one. Whether Eddy likes it or not, the setup of Gebhardt's site is such that the impression given is one of ownership, regardless of his piecemeal attempt to list sources. I know the owners of a number of the images he has used who have not been mentioned and who have not given Gebhardt permission to use them. The whole point of forums is to discuss and learn from others, but the actions of a few can be counter-productive when contributors are concerned that their items might be misused. I used to freely post images on forums until a number of my photos were used without my permission, some even offered for sale as originals on the internet. I am now reluctant. So, Annelie is quite right.....all it takes is a simple request.Annelie wrote:While I agree with you generally that it is not about making money but

I did not find the NAC and Bundesarchiv photos on Gebhardt's site (which I have just discovered recently), but on the Internet in general. Had I known, I would have obviously asked for permission and will be more careful from now on, you can rest assured. The article on the french forum did list the sources as follows :
- NARA
- NAC
- Ullsteinbild
- Bundesarchiv
- BeeldbankWO2
Which is how I found them.
My 'stupid overreaction' was directed at Helge's equally stupid and pseudo-elitist aloofness :
I'm perfectly able to recognize my mistakes when they are pointed out to me, readily apologize for them, and make sure they don't happen again, without having to put up with an upstart comment suggesting ignorance and lack of seriousness from anything that is not AHF.we appropriate photos, articles, research, without citing the source, but this does not happen to us I am happy if others copy Axis History: here we have scholars, researchers, important authors. What do we want more?
Sorry again for the pics
Best regards
Re: Himmler's mistress
Eddy,
Helge tries very hard to make contributions to this forum.
His English language skills are not always up to saying what he means.
He does mean well and spends a lot of time searching.
Again his remark wasn't "stupid and pseudo-elitist aloofness"
just that he wasn't able to convey what he meant. English isn't
his first language.

Thanks Helge,
But, I don't understand what the document from the doctor is for?
Travel, illness?

Re: Himmler's mistress and Digipuratum
In today’s view a fairly non-scientific treatment for the “invigoration” of the heart (in terms of - for example - : poor circulation, heart palpitation, excited or stress-related heart-trouble) in the form of a “Digitalis-Kur” [curative application of Digitalis - like to take the waters]).

Re: Himmler's mistress and Digipuratum
Well, thanks Dieter... So, Miss Potthast may have been suffering from poor circulation like millions of people, but also from stress-related heart-trouble.

Re: Himmler's mistress
It seems that this product is prepared for the treatment of primary and secondary heart disease. The doctor Karl Gebhardt, who was working only a few km from Brückenthin: Heilanstalten Hohenlychen. is its medical officer was also present at the birth of her children. Interestingly, at that time, Hedwig was not in Bavaria.
