Hitler Was My Friend

Heinrich Hoffmann, as Hitler's photographer and consequential civilian friend, shares direct accounts of personal moments and interactions, portraying Hitler from a unique intimate perspective.

The book avoids justifying or delving into the regime's horrors, focusing plainly on Hoffmann's pride in his friend and insights into Hitler's character as he saw it.

Originally published in 1955 and translated into English, it provides a rare, unrepentant view of the man behind the public image.
