Hitler and Mussolini at Salzburg Train Station

German Chancellor Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) meets with Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) and Axis officers at Salzburg railway station. This picture was taken by Walter Frentz on 22 April 1944 during the two-day meeting between Hitler and Mussolini at Schloss Kleßheim near Salzburg, Austria. The meeting also attended by Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Rudolf Rahn and Karl Wolff on the German side and Serafino Mazzolini, Rodolfo Graziani, Filippo Anfuso and general Umberto Morera for the Italians. Mussolini and his delegation presented a list of problems the Italian Social Republic was having which they attributed to the lack of cooperation with German authorities, but the German delegation no longer respected Mussolini who by now resembled a shadow of his former self.
