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?
This is awful.
Bill, you are *way* above average!
(Slightly better translation.)
K.U.K Academy of Fine Arts
Rector’s Office
Mr. Siegman L’Allemand
3 Shiller Place
Vienna, Austria
Mr.
Adolf Hitler
31 Humbold Street
Linz, Austria
Vienna, the 2nd of October 1907
In regards to: Your application, Number 54/1907
Dear Mr. Adolf Hitler,
We hereby inform you, that our decision to your inclusion in to the K.U.K. Academy of Fine Arts field painting has been given.
The Justification Commission: The sample painting presented by you (artwork title: Landscape With Only Heads) impressed us by your unconventional style, but in your art you put contours where they are not necessary and select colors that are not appropriate. The perfect randomness that your work radiates makes us momentarily doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy.
Signed:
The Chairman of the Committee
Professor Christian Griepenkerl
Hitler watercolor sells at auction for $162,000
What surprised me was this:
The auction house says the painting is one some 2,000 by Hitler
I had no idea he had done that many pieces.
People who make pacts with demons seldom do it on a whim.
They always have excuses, and they might waffle a bit, but eventually they choose evil because - in fact - they want to be evil.
Deep, deep down, they want to see what God will do if they attack Him.
God always provides the answer they seek - though seldom in a way they expect.
LOL
K.u.K. = “Imperial and Royal”
Did I get the translation right otherwise?
Lazamataz,
You can’t be the next Hitler, Laz. For one, how could anyone invade the US? Our borders are totally secured!
That is awful.
Hope all is well with you, ol'friend.
Never better, hope you are too!
> I will be the Next Hitler.
I have been given The Gift.
Satan has told me what to do.
Sounds like you and the current occupant of the WH have the same boss...
Fuehrer Lazamataz: He'd hit Poland. And Czechoslovia. And Austria. And France. And Russia. And the Balkans. And the Netherlands. And Belgium. And Norway. Especially Norway ...
Not to be a suck up or anything, but when you take control, can I be in charge of the internment camps for liberal Democrats?
Agreed. Also the demand for reparations by the French sundered the fragile economy of post war Germany. The industrial heartland of Germany was actually occupied by French and British troops 1928/9. This was to enforce reparations.
I would like to mention in support of your statement, of the Allied blockade. My grandfather in the Royal East Kent Regt. spent over three years 1915/18,as a German prisoner of war. His health was damaged through inadequate feeding. I learned the German population starved also and there was massive suffering. I have no hard feelings now, it was the blockade of Germany by the Royal Navy.
America did not make the same awful mistake after WW2. The war criminals were dealt with and the civilian population were helped recover by massive aid.
The perfect randomness that your work radiates, makes us momentarily doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy.”
So they wanted paint-by-numbers artists?
the Nazis were pagans. Hitler believed Christianity had emasculated Germans' in-born warrior spirit.
"With without heads..."
Which makes no sense.
Further errors IN THE ORIGINAL: The German-language version of the letter also contains two "ihre" with a small "i" where there should have been capital "I's". The "Gemälde" (neutral) is referred to as "sie" (feminine) once.
Regards,
The words “mit ohne” seems to common for native German speakers.

My more accurate translation should be, “Lanscape With No Heads.”
That seems still to be a not so good translation. Let me try it one more time.
“The utter randomness that your work expresses gives us cause to doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy.”
I’m not a painter or any sort of artist, but if I could apply what they say to the spoken or written word, they are saying he rambles on and on in his work with no coherence to a theme or focus on a subject or the subject in his art. He talks, but he doesn’t like to listen. His rambling might indicate some form of anxiety, nervousness or loneliness or all three. This may hint at that time in his life he might have been in the early stages of the development of a mental illness or simply the environment in which he lived.
