Why wouldnt he be? He was obviously a man of great vision. He clearly recognised all the pain and heartbreak he would be inflicting on us poor suckers for generations to come.

on the right?

pretty sure its the guy on the left, his face is the same as Ferdinand. The guy on the right looks like tony abbot with the nazi suit.

I always imagined the man on the right (front) was H. Goring? But maybe it's the one who 'escaped' to England.

Rudolf Hess was the runner. from memory he was held in Spandau prison on his own for life because the Russians wouldn't agree to letting him out.

a bit of trivia;
there were 3 of those vw models made. Hitler got one, FP got one and Mr. Bosch got the third. I remember seeing an article on them in a modelling magazine back in the late 90's but don't think I got a copy...

I must have meant Adolfs right.
(I don't wear a watch these days so often forget my right from left).
