Nazi Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler on a visit to the Lodz ghetto in Poland between 1940 and 1944. The license plate is SS-1, although this was probably used for all cars that Himmler was driven in. Himmler is talking to someone wearing a yellow Star of David, which the Nazis introduced in most occupied countries to identify Jews.
Hard to be certain but the man with the Star of David appears to be Chaim Rumkowski, the Nazi appointed head of the ghetto.
ReplyDeleteIt's unlikely Himmler would have been interested in talking to anyone of less status.
ReplyDeleteNot just the occupied countries, but thruout Germany itself in 1941.
