When Chancellor Adolf Hitler called a private meeting of German Nazis for January 3, 1935 and excluded even Nazi newspapermen, rumors were rife that an upheaval in the Nazi party was under way. Hitler denied the rumors, however, saying the meeting was an �unofficial New Year�s party�. This exclusive photograph, taken inside the Berlin State Opera House, shows the opera party that followed the meeting. Chancellor Hitler (second from left) talks to Premier Goering and storm trooper Chief of Staff Victor Lutze. Others high in the Nazi party are in the opera box, listening to a performance of Wagner's “Tannhauser”. (Photo by AP Photo)
