Photograph Search



Hello everyone.  I had a request come through my inbox that I don't
normally deal with.  I thought someone on the list may be able to
help.The researcher is looking for a photograph of Pope Pius XII and
Hitler similar to the one published on the cover of John Cornwell's
recent book.   I have posted his original message below.  Please send
responses to me.

Thanks.

Researcher Question:

"How would I go about getting a print of a photo from circa 1927? The
photo in question is one you've probably seen. It's on the cover of
"Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII" by John Cornwell
(published
by Viking Press). It shows Pius XII coming down the front steps of a
building with a couple soldiers stading by. It was taken in 1927 outside
the
German President Hindenberg's office - I think in Berlin.

The reason I'm interested in this photo is that I recently found out
that
the one printed on the dust cover of the book is altered. I'd really
love to
get a copy of the ligit one. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate any help
you
could give. Thanks!!"
