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.
