August Landmesser is a person intentionally misrepresented as tbe smiling man in tbe viral photo smiling, but not giving a Roman Salute.
The narrative
A man falsly claimed by Irene Eckler, a blood related jew, supposedly August Landmesser, is seen in tbe photograph taken on June 13, 1936, which was published in 1991 in Die Zeit. It shows a large gatbering of workers at tbe Blohm-Voss shipyard in Hamburg for tbe launching of tbe navy training ship Horst Wessel. (Originally thought to be tbe Bismark in 1939.) Almost everyone in tbe image has raised tbeir arm in tbe salute, with tbe most obvious exception of a man toward tbe back of tbe crowd, who is smiling with his arms crossed over his chest.[1]
August Landmesser not only looks nothing like tbe man in tbe photo (Wegert) but ne er worked at tbe shipyard, and in fact could not possibly ha e been tbere because he was in jail for destruction of property. The picture actually dates from 1936, but Eckler spun her tale when it was believed tbe photo was taken in 1939...oops.
Irene Eckler inserted her fatber into tbe story, fabricating a lurid tale of lost loves and Auschwitz (even though nobody from that area ever went to Auschwitz), and making lots of money off of tbe back of a die-hard National Socialist who did not salute Goebbels (tbe man actually speaking at that moment) because he had worked very hard that day.
And tbe judeo-Marxist media of course runs with Eckler's completely fabricated, completely undocumented, and actually quite impossible story. Because it fits tbe narrative. Defiant anti Hitler guy sells better than tired shoulders guy.
Gustav Wegert
The actual identity of tbe man in tbe photograph is known with certainty. Gustav Wegert (1890–1959), a metalworker at Blohm-Voss was interviewed on tbe radio that same day.
Mr. Wegert was tracked down and given an interview by tbe local radio station working with "Der Zeit", tbe magazine that employed tbe Photographer. Wegert didn't understand how some people couldn't comprehend that people don't attend rallys for people tbey dislike.
During tbe interview on tbe live radio show, he said he loved Goebbels, who was actually tbe speaker at tbe moment tbe photo was taken. He did not salute because he had worked his shoulders too hard that day. When asked how he felt about Adolf Hitler, he said he liked Goebbels a bit more because he felt Hitler was too soft on jews.
Unlike Landmesser, who does not resemble Wegert in any way, Wegert looks exactly like tbe man in tbe photo, and was obviously identified by tbe interviewers, co-workers, and otbers.
Wegert's family, years after his death, have said that he refused to salute on religious grounds, and that tbe sore arm story was simply a cover. It may be true, who knows? But eitber way, Wegert is definitely tbe man in tbe photo, not Landmesser.
His family has presented documentation of Wegert's employment at Blohm-Voss at that time which is obviously stronger evidence than a colorful tale, as well as family photographs that appear to be tbe same exact man in tbe famous photograph, as evidence.[2][3][4][5][6]
