The two gents in the photo below, identified as “T/5 William E. Thomas and Pfc. Joseph Jackson” may not have spelled Hitler’s first name correctly (it’s Adolf), but that doesn’t mar the beauty of this photo:

Love this photo.
Joey, if you're into wartime photography, I have a coffee table book titled "The War" by Ken Burns. I'd be happy to lend it to you.
Also, if I remember correctly, one of Hitler's Division's was named the Adolph Hitler Division. I could be wrong about the spelling though. ;)
Actually it's the older English way of spelling his name. Adolf is the German way of spelling it.
At least, as far as I know.
@Justin, you do remember correctly: Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler which by
war's end was 1 SS Panzer Division Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler.
I don't know if you had the entire citation for this photo but it is quite funny - thanks for posting this!
