Thread Name: BS: Is George H.W. Bush George Scherff?
Subject: RE: BS: Is George H.W. Bush George Scherff?
"Holding "Mother" Scherff's hand at left is Martin Bormann" - Really? This photograph was supposed to have been taken in 1938 wasn't it? The figure indicated is also in Naval uniform, which is unfortunate as Martin Bormann never served in the armed forces of the Third Reich. Bormann became a Reich Leader (Reichsleiter) of the NSDAP, in October 1933 and that November, served as a member of the Reichstag until 1941.
Now at the time this photograph was supposed to have been taken Martin Bormann would have been 38 years old, the sailor indicated is much younger than that and looks nothing like Martin Bormann, judge for yourselves:
If anybody in that photograph could be plausibly passed off as Martin Bormann it is the character front centre identified as Gehlen, or possibly the person identified as Scherff Senior.
Absolute load of cobblers, not worth more than a cursory few seconds to utterly dismiss.
