Description
Only Heinrich Hoffmann (1885-1957) was allowed to take photographs of the dictator. He accompanied Adolf Hitler on his path to power and into chaos and took 2.5 million photographs. A very large portion of these were never published. This volume contains a small but telling selection, with a "Psychogram of Adolf Hitler" by Joachim Fest, the well-known biographer of Hitler.
