RE: 10 Artworks painted by Hitler are hardly seen
Well, that's interesting. The pieces seem competent enough to at least get admitted to, if not graduate from, an art school. Was it the case that you needed connections to be accepted? Would we live in a totally different world if Hitler had been accepted into art school?
Story goes that he was pretty good ad drawing buildings but not that great with people.
"He took the two day entrance exam for the academy's school of painting. Confident and self assured, he awaited the result, quite sure he would get in. But failure struck him like a bolt of lightning. His test drawings were judged unsatisfactory and he was not admitted. Hitler was badly shaken by this rejection. He went back to the academy to get an explanation and was told his drawings showed a lack of talent for artistic painting, notably a lack of appreciation of the human form."

@marginal It's really interesting to consider a possibility such as this!
If only we'd have someone make a movie or write a book on these lines. I wonder how it would play itself out!
