Hard hitting, photographic proof

[joerookery]

I know this is a catchy headline for just another band picture. But if you go to the bottom you'll see the important historical find.

I was always curious as to how people wore their trichters. Were the bushes down in the front or split in the middle or what? This picture shows them being every which way. And now the necessary picture of the bandleader.

And now the non-refutable photographic proof -- -- both Martin Borman and Adolph Hitler served side-by-side in this very band.

The Boys in the Band meet The Boys from Brazil, so to speak.

Heil Tambour!

An amazing find Joe!
This is back when they were known as 'Bix' Bormann and 'Duke' Heidler. Not included in the shot is their virtuoso washboardist Hermann 'Fats' Goring who I believe, was attending a sponsored pie eating contest elswhere at the time. The Band folded after Bormann referred to Goring as ".....a side order of bean curd in a German uniform". Hitler, disillusioned, turned to painting which he proved to be completely bloody useless at.
