Yes he originaly aspired and went to school to be an artist in Vienna, Austria. He went into polotics after his art teacher told him his work was crap.

Hitler a painter, oh my, I knew he designed stuff and wanted to be architect, but not a painter.
I would have preferred that they burned them if they were real. After all they will probably end up in the lair of some nazi worshiper.
I disagree. They are pieces of history. So should any of the paintings by tyrant kings of England from hundreds of years agobe burned? No ofcourse not. They are history....
I would love to have the paintings if they are real. I am a Third Reich Collector. I have dozens of Uniforms, many many helmets and head gear and other artifacts to include an autograph from Hitler. Does that make me a Nazi Worshiper? Hell no, I love history and enjoy collecting it.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. I agree Adler. I find it most irritating that the German gov't won't allow swastikas on renovated WWII aircraft. While I understand the sensitivity, seems plain silly.
Those who make the comments of Hitler being evil etc etc . This is a piece of history of a man that had a vision and carried out what he beleived in . I know you'll go on and on about killing 6 million jews etc , but how many people did Stalin kill or Mao Tse Tung ? My Great Grandfather was killed by Russian Soldiers in ww2 I dont hold a grudge against them in any way , that was just how it was at the time . Im not saying it was right but its just out of context when a painting is displayed . Comment on the painting . If you want to comment about the man and what he has done start a new post and ramble there !!!!
The fact that the swastika must be removed from WW2 artifacts is crap and to destroy something of historic value is bull. Hitler was not mad just believed in his own way and lived according to it, but he was also not stupid. Hitler got in to the Nazi party when he was undercover for the army to go and investigate how these groups work and what there plans where, but he got interested and went into politics.
The romans were cruel to other nations and made a lot of people suffer, but does history look past them or destroy the artifacts of them because they were cruel?
