I have a Rollei book from the 30s at home ('The Golden

is of the exterior of the factory with a hakenkreuz
flag on a flagpole.  Another is an interior shot with
a portrait on the far wall with an image suspiously
like that of Adolph's.  Wrong?  Well, to do otherwise
at the time would have caused much trouble.


Industrial concerns were required to fly the national flag -- which you are describing -- after 1934. All commercial concerns were required from the same time to post pictures of the Chancellor on walls in all rooms open to public view and in all conference and meeting rooms.

F&H was simply abiding by the laws of the nation in which they were located. There is nothing to take home from these pictures other than that.
