Creepy


Came across this old photo while reading through one of my World War II books …


It’s Hitler with Speer and some other Nazi flunkies posing with in Paris on June 24, 1940, two days after France surrendered to Germany.

Note that big tower in the background.

At first this startled me, because I was almost certain that I (obviously unintentionally) stood at this exact same spot nearly 72 years later during my recent vacation in Paris. 

See?



On further analysis, I seem to be posing against the wall maybe a hundred yards behind them, seen between Speer and Hitler. It’s hard to tell with the graininess of the older photo.

Either way, this really, really creeped me out.
