Clearly we all know Hitler’s bad qualities, but did you know that in addition to being one of the most evil and murderous leaders in history, he also created nice water colour and oil paintings?
It really is quite puzzling to relate these works of art back to the tyrant, especially since his favourite subjects were flowers, country-sides and cathedrals.
Of equal concern is that they are pretty good paintings.
Unfortunately, he was also into genocide.
