Caption
Adolf Hitler visits the Blohm & Voss the shipbuilding and engineering works. The company built aircraft through Hamburger Flugzeugbau before and during World War II. Germany's rearmament in violation of the Versailles Treaty meant a big change in fortune for the company, run then by brothers Rudolf and Walther Blohm, which was taken out of a deep crisis. From July 1944 to April 1945 the company used inmates of its own concentration sub camp at its shipyard in Hamburg-Steinwerder, a sub camp of Neuengamme concentration camp.
