Wrong again eh. Ah well, perhaps a career in forcasting the weather is in her future. It's one of the few jobs, outside politics, where being wrong is the norm. Wasn't it Gray who talked about blissfull ignorance and the folly of wisdom?

It may be of interest but Hitler did his training as a painter and decorator in Warsaw before the war.......I only know this as he trained with my father who was from a little town outside Warsaw............he was never a " painter".

No books will ever express the true feelings of living under Hitler and his regime.

On one hand, he only tried to do (in a very drastic manner obviously) what some of todays politicians are trying to do, how many religios and race related wars have we had since WW2? Just because they do not hit us as hard doesnt mean that they dont exist. Have a look at the cival wars going on, and in fact 'good old Saddam'.

On the other, you have people that live and work for the place that is called home, under a leader that you do not necessarily agree with but are powerless to do anything about. Talk to the 'normal' Germans about WW2 and they will give you a better idea of what was going on and the immense guilt that is still felt about the behaviour in those times.

Books are all well and good, but they are individuals take on things, and as we all know, we can see the same event differently and have a different opinion about it

Just assumed at your age Less it would be more helpful (having large lettering)

These are a few of Hitler's paintings. I've heard he was supposed to be a painter and decorator. It may be true but, if he was, that must have been before 1914 as he was heavily involved in politics between the 2 world wars.

Whether or not he went to Art School in Liverpool is debateable but his brother certainly lived there in the early 1900s.

Agreed, there is no definative proof, and it is unlikely.

Although John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia did attend, there are about fifty John Lennon's carved into the benches in the lecture hall. Probably all fakes, unless he was a serial vandal.

I take it nobody's found an "A Hitler" then?
