..found this Christmas snap in the family album, will have to do a bit of research into this chap and find out who he is. Must be somebody jolly popular, he has TWO Father Christmases.

Quite an emotive pic ,on one hand we have a fictitious character invented and carried over for generations to bring joy and happiness to children ( and thus adults ) ,and on the other we have a real person who quite happily marched them into gas chambers .

But I don't recall Father Christmas murdering anybody.
It's intersting that these guys believed they were doing the right thing. A side rarely seen are these snapshots of how normal it seemed at the time.
