Description
Hitler in Seinen Bergen and Jugend Um Hitler, by Heinrich Hoffmann.
“Hitler in Seinen Bergen” is a 96 page book published by Heinrich Hoffmann in 1935 with a foreword by Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach. It contains an incredible compilation of 86 of Hoffmann’s photographs of Hitler “resting” at the Berghof: playing with his dogs, hiking in the snow, and hanging out with locals in his neighborhood. This collection of pictures provided a thorough and excellent overview of Adolf Hitler’s “unofficial” life in the one place he continually found peace and refuge from all the complications and pressures associated with statesmanship.
Jugend um Hitler
“This pictorial work is a typical example of the Nazi German propaganda item. It reflects how the public’s attitude towards Adolf Hitler was manipulated through the publication and dissemination of corresponding photographs, by introducing a kind-hearted, child-loving father figure and documenting the enthusiasm of the youth for him.
The highly illustrated photobook, with a number of Adolf Hitler portraits, was compiled and edited by Heinrich Hoffmann, Reich reporter of the NSDAP, with forewords by Baldur von Schirach, youth leader of the Third Reich.”
