Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

"Photo card privately printed and published in 1938 by Heinrich Hoffmann, Miinchen, Theresienstrasse 74. (Gogolinski 329, 1-7-101) Issued to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Hitler’s seizure of power, 30 January 1933. The photo is cropped from a larger picture of Hitler taken in 1936 by Heinrich Hoffmann in the study of the Reichskanzlef s home on Obersalzberg, the 3,200-foot high mountain ridge northeast of Berchtesgaden. Scott No. B118 tied to card with cancellation commemorating Hitler’s 49""' birthday. The inscription reads: Der Fiihrer in seinem Heim am Obersalzberg. (The Fiihrer in his home on the Obersalzberg.) The blue cachet below the inscription was struck by a steel die and is from the Braunes Haus (Brown House) in Miinchen. This was the term for the former Barlow Mansion (Briennerstrasse 45) acquired by the NSDAP on 5 June 1930 with money from industry and from a special party appeal. The name was derived from the color of the uniforms worn by the new owners, and was first used only popularly. the party later adopted it officially. By the time the NSDAP leadership moved into the Brown House on 1 January 1931 (after extensive remodeling by Paul Troost), it was too small because of large increases in membership after the successful elections of 14 September 1930. Adjacent buildings were rented, and the name Brown House was soon extended to the whole complex. Party buildings in other cities were also popularly called “brown houses.”"
