Adolf Hitler attends a rally in the Munich Odeonsplatz to celebrate the declaration of war in 1914. This photograph was taken by Heinrich Hoffmann, who would later become Hitler’s photographer. Years later, Hoffmann discovered Hitler in this photograph, and it became a popular propaganda image in Nazi Germany.
