A Live Journal user posted this collection of rare color photographs (includes one NSFW pic) captured during the Third Reich German era.
The photographs, clearly taken from the Life photo archive, give us glimpses of a mighty, authoritarian state in its heyday, completely oblivious to the fact that its meteoric rise was soon be over-shadowed by its devastating fall.
You can find more images of Nazi Germany by searching the Life photo archives.
