Adolf Hitler among the huge crowd which heard the announcement of war outside Field Marshals' Hall, Munich on 2 August 1914'.

One of the better repros of it, it's been around since the mid thirties. After the Nazis came to power, a photographer, in Germany, found Hitler in this shot. This shot garnered him some fame for a time. IIRC Hitler had mentioned being there during some public speech or other, prompting him to look though his photos.

Just found this info

A prominent historian in Germany says the Nazi Party doctored the image shortly before a pivotal election to show the Fuehrer was a patriot.

Gerd Krumeich, recognised as Germany's greatest authority on World War I, says he has spent years studying the photo and has come to the conclusion that the man who took it - Heinrich Hoffmann - was also the man who doctored it.
The photograph first appeared on the pages of the German Illustrated Observer on March 12, 1932 - the day before the crucial election of the German president Adolf Hitler
