Comments[edit]

Is this more or less a normal globe, or was it produced to represent the extent of the Reich's Empire or something like this, either the short-lived political/geographic situation of the time, or the potential future situation which Hitler may have envisioned but never achieved? LordAmeth (talk) 13:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was a globe designed in the Axis perspective of the world (hence replacing Ethiopia with Mussolini's Italian East Africa). It was also symbolic of Hitler's megalomaniacal attempt at trying to conquer the world.--TBC !?! 13:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where did John Barsamia find the globe

a) among the ruins of the "Eagle's Nest" ("Adlerhorst") near Bad Nauheim, a city in central Germany about 35 km north of Frankfurt/M. and nowhere near the Alps, or

b) at the "Kehlsteinhaus" near Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps?

Both were taken by US forces - (Elvis Presley later served in Bad Nauheim).

In my opinion, the article is written in a rather "woolly" manner and should be completely revised.

Map[edit]

I'm really interested in the image on the globe. Is there an appropriate picture of Wikipedia article that shows how the globe depicted the world? 69.129.145.210 (talk) 09:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Footage[edit]

There's 1945 close-up newsreel footage of the globe in the ruins of Hitler's office in the Reich Chancellery, presumably made by Soviet cameramen. Somebody should make a screenshot or two and upload them for the article here. --79.193.62.185 (talk) 01:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Part of its round wooden tripod with the globe inside is remotely visible in this photo here: [1], in the remote left corner, left of the lamp shade on the front desk and behind the desk between the front desk and the corner. But it's so far away and partly obscured by other objects you'll only recognize it if you know the Soviet footage. --79.193.62.185 (talk) 01:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And here's a better view at the bottom left, but also very far away: [2] Also see: [3] --79.193.62.185 (talk) 01:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now it's getting interesting: [4]! The caption calls it a photo from the old Reich Chancellery that was used from 1878 up until 1939, but the room's already got swastikas all over it. --79.193.62.185 (talk) 01:57, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

This article really needs an image. Can we justify the one from [5] under fair use? LukeSurl^{t c} 10:51, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

10 April 2015[edit]

Spend a couple of hours improving this article in my sandbox. Is finished and have implemented the whole lot as well as added a very good image. Will ask a friend of mine for some inputs and then nominate it for GA-status. Cheers, Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 15:32, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edits are done. Going to nominate it for GA-status. Stay tuned! Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 22:26, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
