In Joris's portrait, which actually grows on you the more you study 
it, looks like Hitler towards the end of his life, after the bomb 
attempt to assassinate him and as the Russians approached the 
outskirts of Berlin. He began to look very ill and his personal 
charisma of power had deserted him. "Heil Hitler" was heard less
frequently in the Berlin Bunker.

I think Joris has captured that mood.

Also I think you can see his German military uniform.

For me...it is " The Fuhrer " and I think Joris indicated so in 
his original posting.

Hmm...those were the days...only just over 50 years ago...a very
short time indeed in Universal History?

Later,
