For those of us uninformed, who is this? I'm guessing some sort of Nazi.

Copied from Wikipedia:

Paul Joseph Goebbels[a] (29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German politician and philologist who was the Gauleiter (district leader) of Berlin, chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and then Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 until his suicide in 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler's closest and most devoted followers and was known for his skills in public speaking and his extreme antisemitism which was evident in his publicly voiced views. He advocated progressively harsher discrimination, including the extermination of Jews and other groups in the Holocaust.

Ok, figured it might be Goebbels, but wasn't sure.

I had intended to just answer the question, but the parallels from that small paragraph were too apropos to exclude.

Oh for sure. The picture is too creepy and exact.

It's a Nazi. Pretty sure it's Goebbels. This picture was taken right as he learned the photographer was Jewish.

Confirmed by OP, thanks! I figured it might be him but sometimes tricky for me to match faces.
