A picture has popped up in one of the FB groups I'm in. Allegedly it's by Hitler (it's depressing how many people just want to post about Hitler, whatever the group). A few people have said they don't think it's his work. I used Google to find more versions of the pic, just as a first resort of checking credibility, and the image can be found on Getty Images; which I find astonishing. I have spotted a rather large error with the pic. What can you see...
"Sometimes things that are not true are included in Wikipedia. While at first glance that may appear like a very great problem for Wikipedia, in reality is it not. In fact, it's a good thing." - Wikipedia.
Also, the signature seems to be two different ones; the 'A' looks different to the 'Hitler'. And the '1916' is the same in both pics. What a weird thing to try to fake.
Apparantly no two signatures are the same on Adolfs art work, and his style is not his own (many artists copy a style or school) and what might be described as a competent "amateur" (at least by critics) and a fast worker producing three or four pictures a day to a good standard... so if anyone really imagines this is Hitlers art based on the signature alone...their fooling themselves...
I have to say I'm having real problems posting on this forum it just doesnt take, so I have to copy everything and try again multiple times untill it does...
