Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945, was also a painter.[1] During his Vienna years (1908–1913) he made his living as a professional artist and produced hundreds of works, but had little commercial success. A number of his paintings were recovered after the Second World War and have been sold at auctions for tens of thousands of dollars. Others were seized by the United States Army and are still in U.S. government possession.
