Considering he had to deal with image and appearance fueled Hitler, who‘d mercilessly had mocked „the cr*****“ for laughs and humiliation, that was a smart move.

I wouldn't say conceal because people knew about his disability. What he did do was not allow himself to be photographed in a wheelchair (only a handful of photos of him in one, I think). Instead, if he had to stand, he used braces and a walking stick. Usually he was on a simple chair though.
