Adolf Hitler, a name that evokes both fascination and horror. From his early artistic endeavors to his rise as the leader of Nazi Germany, Hitler's life is filled with moments that shaped history. In 1914, amidst the chaos of World War I, Hitler found solace in art. The Ruins of the Cloisters at Messines stands as a testament to his talent and creativity during this time. Little did anyone know that this artist would later become one of the most infamous figures in history. Fast forward to 1940, when Hitler painted Self-Portrait in the Camp. This haunting image captures not only his physical appearance but also reflects the darkness within him. It serves as a chilling reminder of the atrocities committed under his regime. Doubtful Friends, a satirical cartoon by Sir Bernard Partridge from 1939, highlights international skepticism towards Hitler's intentions. As tensions escalated before World War II, many questioned whether he could be trusted. The signing of the Tripartite Pact forming an alliance between Japan, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy marked a significant moment in history. This black-and-white photograph taken at Berlin's Reich Chancellery on September 27th, 1940 showcases Hitler alongside his Axis partners – solidifying their shared goals and ambitions. After winning an overwhelming electoral victory, Brownshirts paraded through Berlin streets celebrating their leader's triumph. This colorful lithograph depicts their enthusiasm and loyalty towards Hitler during these early days of power consolidation. Hitler's influence extended beyond Germany's borders; he formed alliances with other nations like Italy led by Benito Mussolini. The solemn ceremony for signing the Italian-German Pact captured in another vibrant lithograph symbolizes their united front against common enemies. Mussolini himself spoke passionately in Berlin about their shared ideologies and aspirations for world domination - depicted vividly through yet another striking lithograph from this era. As war raged on, Hitler sent Italian divisions to Russia.
