Ah, yes. If only the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts had seen fit to accept Hitler to their art school.

Strangely enough (fulfilling the J.B.S. Haldane motto of all WUvians) there is an article in The Mirror today about one Private Henry Tandey who had the chance to shoot one Corporal Adolf Hitler on a French battlefield in 1918.

Reminds me of the newspaper Truman was holding in the famous picture that said,' Dewey Defeats Truman'.

He spent his time in prison writing a manifesto about taking over Germany and perhaps committing genocide. What behavior would NOT have convinced the prison he was no longer plotting to overthrow the government?
