Rarest film photograph in our Collection?
We have, as you can guess, many very rare original film stills from the pre–1945 German film era. How scarce, after all, are stills from Jud Süß, Der ewige Jude, Hitlerjunge Quex, SA Mann Brand, Blutendes Deutschland, Ewige Wald, Triumph des Willens, Olympia ? Or of the hard–core military propaganda films such as DIII88, Stukas, Kampfgeschwader Lützow ? Or an original French still from Le jeune Hitlérien, or those from the Italian version of Hans Westmar ? Or how about lobby cards from the banned Besatzung Dora, Der verzauberte Tag or Titanic ?
Actually, the rarest card may be this little autograph card of the Sudanese soldier Mahjub bin Adam Mohamed, called Mohamed Husen, who served German colonial troops as an Askari soldier in WWI Africa, migrated to Germany in 1929, married a white German woman three days before Hitler became Reich Chancellor (!); and worked as a waiter on a German shipping line, as a translator, a language instructor, and took small roles in at least 23 German films between 1934 and 1941. He appeared in films such as Die Reiter von Deutsch - Ostafrika, Zarah Leander's star vehicle Zu Neuen Ufern, La Jana's star vehicle Stern von Rio, Harlan's Pedro soll hängen, and his last film, Selpin's Carl Peters. Because he had an affair reputedly with a BDM girl during the production of Carl Peters, he was denounced and arrested and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp in September 1941, and died there on 24 November 1944.
