Alright, so there were three guys named Heinrich Hof(f)mann? At least. At least three guys. We all know the wonderful painter guy, spelled with one "f," but there was also running around, around the same time, a Heinrich Hoffmann who wrote disturbing children's stories where the Scissorman comes and cuts off your thumbs when you suck them.
And then a few decades on, a different Heinrich Hoffmann was the personal photographer to Hitler. What a doof. (Have you seen Hitler posing for a camera trying to look cool? Total doofus.)
It's best not to confuse any of these three people.
Also, looking up THE OTHER Heinrich Hoffmanns or Heinrich Hofmanns of the world...!
There was a Heinrich Hofmann who was one of the most famous and successful German composers of his time, and now nobody's heard of him except for you!
