>>14448203Friend I think you don't understand. Hitler would have been very content as a bourgeois artist if his paintings were marketable. Everyone agrees they're good. There's a forgotten movie with John Cusack called Max that's worth watching. Sure he was talented. So are others. He was in an elite tier. Of the elite tier, maybe one makes money. People have always wanted to pay as little as possible for nice things. He didn't have the capacity to invent a character for his art career, but he was able to for politics. And I'm sure he believed a lot of it. The British agent thing, it's possible but unlikely. He knew by '43 the war was lost. He had a long time to make peace with it. If you've lost most of your friends, but still have the last couple you truly trust close to you, and your woman, and they say come on, let's go, odds are he goes. Honour is great until it's gone and you're still standing.
