"As we were leaving I took a photograph of Hitler. Hitler came slowly down the steps, and when the golden cross of the great gates was exactly over his head, I snapped him. From my point of view, it was an interesting and original snap. But the clerical opponents of the Party held violently opposed views. When the picture appeared in my book, Hitler as No One Knows Him, I was accused of trying to represent him as a devout churchman. Even Hess demanded that the photograph should be withdrawn, but I submitted the whole thing to Hitler himself for his personal decision. ‘That I visited the church is a fact. What my thoughts were, you could not photograph, and it wasn’t you who put up the cross which happens to be just above my head in the snap. Leave it just as it is, Hoffmann – if the people think I’m a devout man, well, no harm will come of that!’"

> "When in his speeches he referred to Providence, he did not do so simply to achieve rhetorical effect; he really believed what he said, and this conviction could not but be strengthened by the truly miraculous manner in which he was again and again preserved."

So in a sense he was a man of faith.
