Adolf Hitler declares war on the United States - Kroll Opera House, Berlin, on December 11th 1941. ON THE ANNIVERSARY of the declarations that fanned the flames of World War Two, a series of chilling photos from inside Nazi Germany have resurfaced. One picture, which depicts Adolf Hitler stood triumphantly in the Reichstag as he declares war against the United States of America to Nazi colleagues on December 11, 1941, has been specially colourised as part of a new book on the history of photography, ???Retrographic: History in Colour.??? Other chilling snaps from the Nazi era show a huge gathering at a party rally in 1934, whilst an additional photograph shows a group of school children doing the Nazi salute. The Nazi???s were not the only country to make a declaration of war seventy-six years ago today as Mussolini???s Italy joined Hitler in declaring war on the US after America had declared war themselves on Japan in the wake of Pearl Harbour. President Franklin D. Roosevelt then, in turn, declared war on Germany and Italy as pictured, whilst Poland also declared war on Japan. Michael D. Carroll, author of Retrographic, discusses Hitler???s declaration of war to a greater extent in the book. Mads Madsen / mediadrumworld.com
