Radek, Karl | April 20, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

Adolf Hitler, a small-town citizen with vague dreams of an artistic career, found that he could not be admitted to the Academy of Arts without a university degree and was forced to set about making a living as a house painter instead. With a head full of dreams and outmoded ideals he went to Vienna. He had read several nationalist books on the history of Germany. Shortly before the war Hitler left Austria and emigrated to Bavaria. There he lived the life of the would-be bohemian with struggling artists, draftsmen, and art students. Then the World War flared up and Hitler volunteered for service in the German army at once.
