Hitler trembled when he saw that photo, I'm sure!

Yes, he played the cornet and was a singer too, as well as a brass-band and choir conductor. Never professionally though.

However, he had his teeth out during the war, so as far as we can tell, his contribution to the war effort was making tea for the band. :-)

had his teeth out???

me not understand this at all sir!

Rotten teeth removed in preperation to having them replaced with false teeth.

well, if it's not possible to play the cornet with one's teeth out, at least he certainly could conduct!
the photo is really hilarious, in that uniform they look like toy soldiers. you should scan and post more of those old photos.

'tis a marvelous photo, isn't it? Very 'Dad's Army'.

Hmm - I never thought about him conducting. But then, I guess you don't get promoted just because you have your teeth out!

I'm not the only owner of those photos, so can't really, which is partly why that one's not public.

it's a pity - the photo is super great.
