This figure is Helmut Zemo, even the bio on the back of the box clarifies this. The dead giveaway is that the mask is shaped to his head and not just a loose hood like his father wore. Heinrich never had anything to do with Hydra, he lived and died as a Nazi. Helmut never properly affiliated with Hydra until 2011, he might have worked alongside them at some point prior but nothing significant. He worked with Red Skull once too (via Skull's daughter) but this was also before Red Skull affiliated with Hydra since they weren't Nazi enough for him. Helmut's main affiliations back in the day were just himself, the Masters of Evil (first version to actually beat the Avengers), and later the Thunderbolts.
