I knew the article would be full of defamation but I didn't expect it right at the beginning - "Hitler's artworks are generally considered to have limited artistic merit."
Well I guess it's a good thing that this beautiful European-style painting isn't held up as good by the same cirlce of people who think Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin are 'artists'.
A watercolour thought to be painted by Adolf Hitler has sold at an auction in Germany for 130,000 euros (£103,000; $161,000).
The 1914 painting of Munich's city hall was put up for sale by two elderly sisters. Their grandfather had bought the painting in 1916.
A private buyer from the Middle East, who wished to remain anonymous, bought the work, auction house Weidler said.
Experts generally consider Hitler's artworks to be of poor quality.
The auction was held in the central German town of Nuremberg.
The auction house said bidders from four continents had expressed an interest in the work.
