Though Eva remained a largely private figure in Hitler’s life, she became a significant presence and frequently posed for photos at Hoffmann’s studio. Henriette ("Henny") was born (1913). He thus had unparalled access to Hitkler and traveled with him extensively. The Speer children survived the War to describe the visits. Hoffman took an estimated 2.5 million photographs of Hitler.

He wrote his last book in 1939, shortly before World War II broke out: Das Antlitz des Führers. I don't see the children playing with Blondie. Henriette married Reichsjugendführer (Hitler Youth Leader) Baldur von Schirach. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. By the time he became Chancellor, those photos he felt showed him in a less flattering manner were destroyed.

Hoffman became very wealthy off the back of Hitler.

He was especially productive in 1938: Hitler in Italy, Hitler befreit Sudetenland, and Hitler in seiner Heimat.

Perhaps readers will have some idea as to the psychological processes at play.

Eva Braun

It was he and Erna who introduced Eva Braun to Hitler. Hoffman open a studio in Munich before the World war I (1910). He was put on trial in 1946, found guilty and sentenced to ten years in jail, later reduced to four. As the images were used for postage stamps as well as widely dustributed publications, the royalty payments were substantial.

His choice of attire, hairstyle, and mannerisms were all deliberate – Hitler often wore a trench coat, hat, and riding crop to project the “bad boy” image, suggesting someone ready to take extreme actions for the Nazi cause.

The presence of Eva Braun and the role of women in Nazi Germany

Hoffmann was one of the few people who documented Hitler’s relationship with his lover, Eva Braun.

From 1930 to 1933, support for the Nazi’s grew – though not at the rate the Nazi Party would have wished for. His role went beyond capturing Hitler’s likeness. They were used for postage stamps, postcards, cigarette cards, posters and picture books, like the image here (figure 1).
