From his childhood through to the end of the First World War Hitler struggled to be noticed until he joined a little-known right wing political party known as the NSDAP or Nazi Party.

Once elected as Chancellor in 1933, Hitler and his party used the latest propaganda techniques of photography, film and radio to mould Germany in their own image. At the heart of the new Germany was the carefully crafted image of the Führer.

Hitler presented himself to the world as a single man, devoted only to Germany. In private, he needed the companionship of women, most notably his niece Geli Raubal and his mistress Eva Braun.

After the humiliation of the First World War, Hitler was determined to crush communism and create 'Lebensraum' or living space for Germany.
