The pic of Adolf Hitler leaving the Church was captured by Heinrich Hoffman and it was published in his book named 'Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt' (Berlin: “Zeitgeschichte” Verlag, 1932), in the first edition of his book, the pic of Adolf Hitler leaving the Church with the cross behind his head was present under the caption "A photographic chance event becomes a symbol: Adolf Hitler, the supposed 'heretic', leaving the Marinekirche in Wilhelmshaven", but in the 1938 edition of this same book the presence of the cross was edited out/removed from the pic also the caption was edited and the new caption was "Adolf Hitler after sightseeing at the historic Marinekirche in Wilhelmshaven" According to the Heinrich Hoffman archives in Munich, the original negative did contain a cross. So It can be assumed that Hitler didn't want to be portrayed in such a manner, hence in the later 1938 edition, it was removed. And here(below link) are some passages from the book regarding this snap. https://i.imgur.com/DkemxXz.png
