Watercolors?

This is coolbert:

Since the person of Adolf Hitler is so strongly an intrinsic part of World War Two, this blog entry is considered to be germane!!

Once again, Nazi memorabilia and all things Hitler is the topic. See here and here for previous blog entries about same.

From the Chicago Tribune today:

“NATION & WORLD”

“ENGLAND - - Hitler watercolors sold”

“LUDLOW - - What a British auction house claims are a set of paintings and sketches by a young Adolf Hitler sold at auction Thursday for $143,358.”

THIS IS NOT CHUMP CHANGE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE!!

“Among the 15 pictures is a portrait of solitary figure dressed in brown peering into a wine-colored waters. The date is 1910; the signature reads ‘A. Hitler’ and scribbled just over the mysterious figure are the letters: ‘A.H.’”

Regarding possible fraud and the possibility that these paintings are FAKES:

“’I don’t think they’re fakes,’ said Richard Westwood Brookes, historical documents expert . . . He [Brookes] said he did not believe anyone would have the nerve to fake the pictures.”

The artistic talent of Hitler was only mediocre? Hitler thought he was talented, and wanted to be seen as talented, but was - - ONLY MEDIOCRE?

THERE IS NOW - - AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME, A THRIVING AND GROWING MARKET FOR NAZI MEMORABILIA!! AND THOSE ITEMS THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH A. HITLER AND HIS CLOSEST ASSOCIATES FETCHES THE PREMIUM AMOUNT. EVEN THE NIGHT GOWN OF EVA BRAUN - - PURPORTED TO BE - - HAS BEEN AUCTIONED OFF TO EAGER COLLECTORS!!

Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt - - who are they again?? Hitler, well, everyone knows about him!!
