The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler

Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1943. Vintage reference keybook photograph from the 1943 film, showing actor Ludwig Donath in costume as Adolf Hitler. Printed mimeo snipe and advertising stamp on the verso.

Loosely based on the anonymously written 1939 book of the same name, which claimed that Hitler died in 1938 and was impersonated for years afterwards by a series of impersonators.

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus.
