    Repeating the quote: "Hitler, now there was a painter. One afternoon he did a whole apartment - two coats!" :D

    There is a website about Hitler that I like: www.schikelgruber.net/ . Quoting from there, for instance:

    Some of his watercolurs here :Watercolours by Adolf Hitler the Great Viennese Painter

    Indeed, they are all kind of drab, rather repetitive, not a spark of originality much less genius. They all look like the monotonous paintings I can see every sunday on street display here, trying to catch a few euros from an occasional tourist looking for a souvenir.

    And as for talent, compare
    http://www.schikelgruber.net/images/vonalt2.jpg by Rudolf von Alt

    with http://www.schikelgruber.net/images/hitlerWien.jpg (AH)

    Which one would you rather hang from your wall?

    I think the term is quite correct.

    Oddly enough that may very well be totally true. His dancing skills were commented upon by many of his female companions and aquaintences over the years. He was an accomplished gymnist in High School (Realschule), and his time as a courrier/runner in the Great War kept him "light on his feet".
