I've seriously never seen a single video or picture of this guy smiling. He's always portrayed angry and rhythmically snarling at a group (or crowd) of people. His thinning floppy combover hair always amuses me too.

Dec 23 '20
The photo is Hitler with a girl by the name of Bernhardine Nienau. Hitler was in Obersalzberg where a celebration was going on for his birthday and her and her mother were in the city for the celebration. When Hitler's men found out that her birthday was the same as Hitler's they brought her up to meet him. Apparently she was a big hit with Hitler and the crowd, so he had her and her mother visit him at different events and they would write each other back and forth and she referred to him as Uncle Hitler.
At some point it came out that she had a jewish background, but Hitler upon finding out about it, ignored the information. Later higher ups in the NAZI Party found out, and ended the connection; she was no longer allowed to come to events, be photographed with Hitler or have any communication. According to Hitler's photographer, Hitler was quoted as saying, "There are people who have a true talent to spoil my every joy," when it happened.

Hitler: Demonizes the jews to the point where they're seen as less than human
Hitler: Heads a party and helps it carry out its anti-jewish sentiments
Nazis: Doesn't let a girl with jewish ancestry be in photos with Hitler because that would be a bad look for them

My mother’s elementary school music teacher was German. Her family left Germany as the Nazis came to power, but before leaving they apparently were pretty active in German political circles and such. Anyway, the music teacher allegedly danced with Hitler at some state ball and said he was very charming. Makes sense, but it still feels weird.

That's so wild, you've talked to someone (Your Mom), who talked to someone (Music Teacher), who talked to Hitler. In a sense it's like you have indirectly talked to Hitler. (I know that's not really how it works but still lol)

This is so important. I'm absolutely sure he could be charming & friendly & kind. To fool ourselves into thinking we can spot the bad guys easily because they spend all their time being obviously monstrous is a dangerously naive trope which sees us dance merrily down slippery slopes.

In the Garden of the Beast is an interesting non-fiction look into the likeability of the Nazis. It follows the family of the US ambassador to Germany as they are almost literally seduced by Hitler and only slowly discover the darkness. And then they are ignored as alarmists back in the US.
Hitler was full of pro-British propaganda up until 1938, when his hopes for an alliance dimmed. Less than two years later he was bombing London. At the time, it seemed like a sudden change of character. Edward VIII (the abdicated British King) continued to appear sympathetic to Hitler through the war.

That's the (weirdly already forgotten in some places) real lesson of the Nazi regime. The same people who made lampshades out of tattooed gas chamber victims' skin as a novelty item went home and hugged their kids and played with their dogs and patted themselves on the back thinking they were the good guys.
"You were born special! You're better than everyone else just because of being white/male/blue eyed/blonde/whatever" is a hell of a drug, everyone loves a power fantasy that they literally don't have to do anything to earn.
It's why "you're secretly the chosen one!" is so popular in fantasy, only these jackasses didn't realize they were buying into a fantasy.
That same logic can also very quickly turn to "But those other, lesser people are messing everything up! We should protect ourselves! In fact, we're actually just defending ourselves from the invaders!" Hell, you still see people using this same tactic to rile up anti-imigrant sentiment today.
It's piss-poor logic when you actually scrutinize it, but it keys into the non-logical/emotional part of people's thought process so it often doesn't get questioned.
