Adolf Hitler

I am planning a special place or room dedicated to Adolf Hitler, the NSDAP, Germany. Music - NSDAP and classical, books - the “Programme“, all things Nationalist Socialist, pictures, artworks of all kinds. All I can find.

Adolf Hitler was trying to preserve and protect western European civilization. He was defeated.

Adolf Hitler at a concert. Classical music I am certain.

Beethoven. I am certain Adolf Hitler was well aware of his works.

Adolf Hitler was trying to maintain a high culture at the very least.

“It was not my ambition to wage wars, but to build up a new social state of the highest culture.”

Another formal function.


Adolf Hitler even showed an exhibition of “Degenerate Art”. Just to show how stupid “modern art” really is. This was a concern of the time, degenerate and stupid art. True back in 1932 and true today.

"In 1932, Alfred Rosenberg's Fighting League for German Culture, together with Paul Joseph Goebbels’s, sponsored a degenerate-art exhibition in Berlin. And so successful was it that it started a traveling exhibition touring Germany's largest cities. The title of the exhibition was “Entartungkunst” (degenerate art). This was defined as works that insult German feeling or destroy or confuse natural form or simply reveal an absence of adequate manual and artistic skill. The definition of degeneracy echoed the words of Hitler's public denunciations. Confiscations of such branded works were left to Adolf Ziegler, the newly appointed head of the Reich's Chamber of Visual Arts. Foreign works found in Germany were also confiscated such as the ugly garbage by Pablo Picasso, whose renderings were perceived as art Bolshevism. The exhibition was designed to demonstrate the fact that modernist art was simply ugly, indecent, and deranged, but that it also directly assaulted the traditional social mores by disparaging motherhood, military heroism, religion, and whatever was clean, healthy, and chaste.”

I would loved to have this Sword.
