Heinrich Hoffmann was more than Adolf Hitler’s photographer. He was the man who built the dictator’s image. His photos filled propaganda posters, books, and newspapers, shaping Hitler’s public myth. But Hoffmann also grew rich from looted art and Nazi profiteering. Arrested after WWII, he was convicted of war profiteering, yet escaped the harsh justice many Nazis faced. This film uncovers his rise, crimes, and quiet postwar life.
