I believe what you're referring to was a cigarette card album published in 1936 titled "Adolf Hitler: Bilder aus dem Leben des Führers" -- Pictures from the Life of the Führer. This is one of the most widely-published and popular albums of it's kind; it ran into the hundreds of thousands of copies produced. The photographs published as cigarette cards were the work of Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's personal photographer. Complete copies of this album are available from about $65.00 up to $200.00 through out-of-print booksellers; the variation in price concerns the condition of the binding, covers and interior pages.
As an addition to the 1936 album, Ray Cowdery of USM Books in Rapid City SD sells a complete page-by-page translation of this publication from German into English.
Hope this is helpful,
