Though this was a interesting article.

Can you imagine having that book just sitting on your bookshelf. :O

Wasn't there a bit about this in Band of Brothers?

I was wondering about that too.  But that book had photos in it.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

That was Hitler's photo album.  Not a photo album of art prints.

It wasn't a book of art BY Hitler, Tac. But a book compiled by/for him, including some examples of artwork the Nazis stole.

Although I remember seeing somewhere that he actually WAS a highly talented painter, but he was rejected by a major art institute when he was younger (may have been before WWI). I want to think it was because his prefered subjects (landscapes, IIRC) had fallen out of fashion.
