Adolf Hitler

Proof That Hitler Had an Illegetimate Son?
New evidence has emerged to support the controversial claim that Hitler had a son with a French teenager, the French magazine LePoint reported on Friday.
The man, Jean-Marie Loret, claimed to be the Fuhrer’s son in 1981, when he published an autobiography called “Your Father’s Name Was Hitler.” He died four years later aged 67, not being able to prove his family line.
But Loret’s Paris lawyer, François Gibault, told the French magazine that a number of photographs and documents can now support the claim.
He also revealed how Loret got to know about his parentage.

Jet Airliner

I’ve been looking at just tons of photography this past week and my eyes hurt it’s been a blast. Fall is a very exciting time for photo geeks- all the galleries turn the lights back on, and a new season of photo books hit the racks. I’ve got several on my wish list, but one I most covet is Josef Hoflehner’s Jet Airliner. What beats pictures that are square, black-and-white, have babes and planes? I mean, come on?!
Hoflehner has a ton of other great work as well- check it out. He does love the stark square, and I love his consistency. Creamy, dreamy pictures.

New York City

New York City — For us here at LIFE, it’s the place we call home.
From the countless images of the Big Apple stored away in its unparalleled archives, LIFE here presents a small selection of classic black-and-white photos that show off the the spirit, the architecture, the culture (high and decidedly low) of Gotham — visual testaments to a city that, through darkness and in light, remains one of a kind.
