    Nazi spies secret meeting in a cellar. Sshh ... don't tell anyone!

    I wonder if it was in Ye Olde Crusty Cellars like the KOLN crew -
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia haha! That's exactly what I thought, it has that Ye Olde Crusty Cellars feel for some reason.

    Those dinners resulted in attendees being "rounded up" and sent to internment camps. Wonder what role the Samuel J Hood studios played? trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92664741?searchTerm=Luck...
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Dale oh dear, quite a damning report, however, so far in my research there seems to be the general consensus that no solid evidence to confirm that von Luckner was a spy for the Nazi regime.

    The Count visited Sydney in 1938. He seemed to be quite a bloke although possibly a Nazi apologist.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Ian Sanderson He was certainly an interesting person, stay tuned as we will probably post a blog about it. :)

    Rustic looking dining spot.

    Fascinating dinner - as miniopterus said "rustic looking dining spot" with a waiter no less. Almost looks like a clandestine political meeting.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Dale Corinneski It is quite rustic looking, we're thinking it was taken at Ye Olde Crusty Cellars in Sydney. See this photo:

    They certainly had spruced it up by the time I visited Ye Olde Crusty Cellar in the late 60s/early 70s if that is so. Here is a pic from the State Library of NSW with Leo Buring who owned the Cellars [acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=43925]

    Corinneski Thanks for the link! It appears that photograph was taken in a different part of the bar. See also these photographs, which were taken earlier in 1933, from our collection:
