Hitler - Dictator or exploded face of an Artist?

After Alexander, humanity did not witness existence of a man who could control almost entire world as per his wishes until Hitler came in picture. Interestingly, like Alexander, he influenced countless men with his magnetic leadership style, but unlike Hitler, Alexander would have never executed the mass murder of six million Jews for sure. How strange it seems that Hitler, whose political visions bought the world a war, once wanted to be an artist. 

From childhood, Hitler had strong desires to be an artist. Eight-year-old Hitler took singing lessons and even entertained thoughts of becoming a priest. It may sound hard to believe, but Hitler was once very emotional kid who often had to face opposition of his father against his artistic wishes. Being sensitive, death of his younger brother deeply affected him and he drastically changed from being confident student to a detached boy who often fought with his father and teachers. 

From 1905, Hitler lived in Vienna (Austria), worked as a casual laborer to eventually become a painter. Very few of us know that Hitler produced and sold hundreds of his paintings in streets of Vienna to earn living. In between all this, his attempts to get into Academy of Fine Arts (Vienna) were persistent. When Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna rejected his piece of work over and over, failure of an artist probably met notorious and murderous instincts.

A painting by Hitler - he produced and sold hundreds of paintings to earn living during 1908–1913.

We all know how World War I left Germany starving with Treaty of Versailles, which imposed heavy taxes on country. After joining Nazi Party, Hitler soon gained notoriety for his speeches against the Treaty of Versailles and Jews. Hitler’s hatred for Jews always remained unreasonable to me knowing that he had many close Jewish friends, during his stay in Austria.

It is interesting that he might even had a Jewish grandfather. Hitler’s grandmother was housekeeper in a Jewish family. She had no social contact with anybody, except family's 19-year-old son, Leopold Frankenberger, who possibly brought Hitler’s father to existence. Throughout his life, Hitler acted like a the most weird person in political senses. He always praised Christian culture, but in person, he criticized Christianity. He once even called it, fit for slaves only. 

Perhaps Hitler, who defined new altitude of dictatorship, was never fit for it. Deep down inside, he was an artist whose military judgment became increasingly erratic at the end of WW II. In simple words, Hitler may sound like a dictator of Nazi Germany, but possibly his persona was far smipler than that. Certainly, Hitler was ultimately responsible for deaths of 21 million civilians in war, however,  he remained as an untold artist in history pages.
