I too find the pic intriguing. Mysterious, as it were, dark like Hitler’s soul. I’ve seen some of his landscape pics, and architectural drawings, and they weren’t bad at all.

Hitler read extensively about architecture; it was one of his passions. His Jew hatred came later when he became political.
Looks like we’ve found the inspiration for Pajama Boy.
I saw it with three strangers in an art house theater in Trenton NJ in 1968.
Even Van Gogh would have been rejected.
Looks like it might be based on Kafka’s parable “Before the Law”.
I’m pretty sure that’s Rosa DeLauro when she was still pretending to be human.
Pajama Boy 2.0 !

Only those parts that Hitler personally touched!
