A 1938 Painting of Adolf Hitler Surfaces

One of the benefits of my work is that people frequently write me asking for information about something in their possession.  One of the most interesting of those comes from a woman whose father, a B-17 pilot, found this remarkable painting while visiting the bombed-out remains of the beer hall in Munich where Hitler had held many of his early meetings.  I have added it to the page of Nazi paintings of Hitler.


I am not familiar with the artist, one F. Thiele.  I welcome information from anyone who know more about the artist or this painting.

  1. I'm not familiar with the artist but the Army's Historical Research Branch has a couple of his paintings in their collection. It's quite possible they might have additional information on the actual artist.
