Color photos of Hitler among adoring crowds

Whatever the source of his malevolent charisma, for more than a decade in the middle of the 20th century, men, women and children were drawn in droves to Hitler and his message. A series of color pictures from Life by Hitler’s personal photographer testify to the often frenzied response he was able to elicit from otherwise staid citizens. See more photos at LIFE.com.
