IN MEMORIAM Thought to be the last picture of Der Führer. Adolf Hitler and his Adjutant Julius Schaub - 28 April 1945. Today remember the Immortal Memory of the Führer. ‘’It is necessary that I should die for my people; but my spirit will rise from the grave and the whole world will know I was right’’ On April 30, 1945 Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva took their own lives in a bunker below Berlin, rather than subjugate themselves to the humiliation of surrendering to the Bolsheviks, and becoming public spectacles “for the diversion of the hysterical masses”. His legacy lives on in each and every Aryan man and woman. Der Sieg Wird Unser Sein! 🇬🇧 British Movement 🇬🇧 NS Vanguard For The Future
