A recently discovered collection of Adolf Hitler paintings worth £150,000 will go under the hammer later this month. The selection of watercolours was all painted around 1908 when Hitler was simply known as a jobbing artist trying to earn a living. Scenes depict views across vast areas of farmland with a distant church spire on the road, village scenes and rows of factories.
Adolf Hitler was a struggling young artist when he painted this scene
Richard Westwood-Brookes of Mullocks Auctions revealed the Nazi leader used to offer to paint night landscapes for tourists to try and earn some money. He said: 'His daily activity was to go out and paint - he was penniless

Mr Westwood-Brookes revealed the paintings had come into his hands after they were found within a large estate in the north of Austria by the high-flying lawyer who bought the whole estate. He said: 'When he moved in they were all sat there in a cupboard.
'Many large well-known auction houses are Jewish owned so they refuse to touch anything to do with Hitler due to policy. 'Across many countries in Europe such as France and Austria you can't sell them by law as they believe it's glorifying Nazis. 'Ebay in those countries won't accept anything to do with him, so they have to be sold outside the countries.' The auction will take place at Ludlow Racecourse, Shrops, on September 30

One of the most remarkable books I read recently was The Young Hitler I Knew by August Kubizek, his close friend during his teenaged years, before he went over to the dark side. He revealed how the young Adolf has an absolutely precocious interest and natural aptitude for architecture. Unfortunately, he was rejected by the academy because of insufficient secondary qualifications. I strongly suspect that, had he been accepted, the history of the world would have been very different.
Dramatically the academy´s professor who made the decision "der Wolf" is definitely not accepted for studying WAS JEWISH. Der Wolf was ANGRY about that, but... take a look to his "artwork" - it´s completely shit. You can´t give any fault to the prof.
