Gunnar Lundh, Swedish photographer in Berlin

Gunnar Herbert Lundh (1898-1960) was a Swedish photographer. He bequeathed about 300.000 well classified photographs to Nordiska Museet in Stockholm.

In that collection, there is a number of pictures from the beginning of 1933, bearing in mind that on January 30th, Hitler was appointed Chancellor by president Hindenburg, a fact that marks the end of the Weimar era. As a matter of fact, the Nazi dictature wasn’t established until some weeks later. In one of the pictures, we see the window of a bookshop, full of nazi publications.Taken the same day Hitler took power? Or some days before?
