6. Adolf Hitler’s lavish home life is revealed for the first time.

The Fuhrer’s personal photographer Hugo Jaeger was granted access to his apartment at the Chancellery in Berlin and to his Berghof estate in Bavaria.

They reveal fine furnishings and art works, bought by the blood of millions.

One of the few photographers to be using color photography techniques at the time, Jaeger travelled with Hitler in the years leading up to and throughout World War Two.

It is thought he took around 2,000 colour photographs of the German leader.

As the war was drawing to a close in 1945, it is thought that Jaeger hid the photographs in a leather suitcase.

It is reported that Jaeger was stopped by American soldiers while carrying the images.

However, when the troops inspected his case, their attention was supposed to have been drawn by a bottle of cognac that he was carrying.

Jaeger is reputed to have buried some of his photos inside twelve glass jars outside Munich, returning to dig them up in 1955 before storaing them in a bank vault.
