Hitler & Fate

Hitler as a Youth

"The other side of Adolf Hitler has been suddenly exposed by a letter the post office had lost all these years and suddenly delivered it to the address where he lived as a boy. The problem, they were decades too late.

"Hitler wanted to be an artist. He was a painter. He applied to attend art school and waited patiently for a letter of acceptance. That letter never came and Hitler’s dream career was never to be. Was this simply fate?

"That whole World War I thing probably had more to do with Hitler becoming Hitler than this did."

Very true.

Hitler actually had some passing talent as an artist. He made a living — albeit a meager one — selling paintings of architecture in Vienna for a brief period.

I admit to being confused by the letter:

Adolf, you are in, but your work is crap,

I used Bing translate which is much better plus my own knowledge of German.

Yeah, it wasn't exactly a love letter. I believe he'd already been rejected once, though.

I have studied Hitler a little, read a couple of good histories and biographies.

He was a brilliant man. He did great evil, but he was brilliant, just as Alexander, Ghengis Khan, Mao Ze Dong, and Mohammed were brilliant, but did great evil.

It is nearly impossible for an average or mediocre man to do great evil.

I can't make heads or tails out of this letter but I do have a Partridge Family mystery book to figure out.

The kicker sentence is

“The perfect randomness that your work radiates, makes us momentarily doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy.”

That’s a better translation. It’s a nice rejection notice.
