Background: The following includes 16 of the 100 photographs from The Hitler No One Knows: 100 Pictures of the Life of the Führer. By 1940, 420,000 copies had been printed. The book was one of the first of the numerous picture books on Hitler put out by Heinrich Hoffmann, who went by the title "Reichsbildberichterstatter der NSDAP." Hoffmann made his fortune during the Third Reich as Hitler's favorite photographer. A full account of his activities is in Rudolf Herz, Hoffmann & Hitler: Fotografie als Medium des Führer-Mythos (Munich: Klinkhardt & Biermann, 1994). Even for those who don't read German, Herz's book provides a wealth of photographs of Hitler.
The source: Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt (Berlin: "Zeitgeschichte" Verlag, 1932).

Wow. Bookmarked.
“Hitler... now there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!”
I looked at those pictures, and they made me realize that the “Hitler No One Knows” was a kind and gentle man. </ sarcasm>
He loved his dog, no really, he did.
Hitler probably could have dominated Europe - and stayed in power, if he had only been more patient. The smart tyrants will play a long-game and insidiously install themselves in other ways vs. obvious, direct, all-out war. In such a way, they can deflect opposition, and even gain significant support in the open societies of the West.
Italy, Spain and Portugal were reliably fascist allies. The Sudetenland and Austria were already part of the 3rd Reich. With a bit more “we only want peace” BS put out to the leftist/pacifist West, Hitler probably could have, in time, pressured Poland to give up Danzig and later installed a more friendly Gov’t there.
Britain and Communist Russia were not obvious allies, and FDR only was able to go to war 2+ years after Poland was invaded.

Oil or latex?
Yes he did. He was actually very humanistic.

The second picture down on that website reminds me of Obama in all his glorious arrogance. The one with the unity hands just shows someone on Obama’s campaign has been studying Goebbels. Add Change we can believe in, and the Obama Youth and the Obama training camps, and he has an A student on his staff.

And of course, the Obama youth salute:
Thanks! Your addition helps paint a better picture.
The “hands of Hitler” picture beside the Obama unity hands is absolutely terrifying. It needs to spread around the internet, quick, before they take it away — the internet, that is.
