Background: Hitler knew the importance of his image. Photographs of him could be released only with his personal approval. Art was even more carefully watched. Here I provide examples of Hitler portraits taken from Die Kunst im deutschen Reich, the Nazi Party’s art magazine, and other sources. There was also a profusion of busts and posters portraying Hitler. When the magazine carried a Hitler portrait, it was often the frontpiece.
