The Hitler Paintings


Not that i'm trying to start a trend of talking about people who are unpopular, but have you heard about the Hitler Paintings?

Turns out that some lady found an old suitcase full of paintings in her atic. She heard that other Hitler memorablilia sold well, so she took these paintings in for auction claiming they were Hitler's work. So far no official word on if they are or are not, but it doesn't stop the bidding prices for these paintings going up. One sold for over 10,000 pounds!

The cult of personality was always strong with Hitler but after 65 + years dead, you would have thought some of that would have died out!

Would you seriously hang a Hitler painting on your wall? When someone walks into your house, you'd have to say something like, "this painting was done by Hitler in his early life. Before he became a blood sucking, Jew hating, balding man"

I love history, but i just don't think i could bring myself to hang one of his paintings on my wall, no matter what the excuse!
