Hitler greets Dr. H. H. Kung ~ No. 1 (June 1937; actual size approx. 4.5 x 2.95 in. (11.4 x 7.5 cm.)). The photographer in the background has sometimes been identified as Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's personal photographer and the official photographer of the Third Reich. I believe this is an error; compare the man above to this photo of Hoffmann, taken by my father; and this photo from Wikipedia, which shows Hoffmann standing in the front row at far right of photo. I strongly believe the photog shown here was a third photographer on the premises that day, and most likely an assistant to Hoffmann. The above photo was moderately retouched to remove prominent emulsion staining on background and clothing.
