Hitler wanted to be an artist. At eighteen he took his inheritance of 700 kronen and moved to Vienna to live and study. He applied to the Academy of Fine Arts and later to the school of architecture . Have you ever seen one of his paintings? I don’t think so. Resistance beat him. Call it overstatement, but as per Steven Pressfield: it was easier for Hitler to start World War II than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas.

Cheers!
