I am an expert on Hitler’s body language and have watched
100’s of hours of videos of him as well as over 1,000 still photos of him. I
have noticed though there are many photo “ops” with Children
He never seems to really connect, instead, he seems like an outsider looking on. This photo shows exactly that. The child with a sun-in-her
eyes unhappy squint is focused and facing the photographer confidently posed
and right elbow back and her right elbow out and back in a “power block” to
Hitler from getting closer while Hitler sits behind her slightly hunched
forward and left hand awkwardly and passively placed between his legs.
This photo reveals something that I see in Hitler his lack
of full confident self-esteem when he is not fully “on” and in Character as
well as his awkwardness with Children who have the ability, because their
reliance on nonverbal cues rather than fancy words can have the ability to see
to a person’s true soul.
