Hitler’s Affinity For The Arts

Adolf Hitler thought of himself to be an artist of the first class. That is why the man got very angry when he was barred from entering the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Hitler took it as an insult and so ordered the Nazis to destroy each and every piece of art they lay their eyes on. And also entrusted the fraction to demolish artwork that they think is useless i.e. Modern Art. His order was followed by the establishment of organizations with the aim of protecting the great artworks. The owners even offered to go to a concentration camp in exchange for protection of the artworks from the Nazis.
