Contradictions and crap: Hitler's art.

Naturally, there's something repulsive about the trade in Nazi artifacts. But Mike Palmer of Torpoint, England, who recently sold this small drawing by Adolph Hitler for 5,000 pounds at auction, has a circumspect view of it all:
I totally abhor what Hitler did, but I like looking at people in the whole. Hitler loved animals, and he was a vegetarian. There's good and bad in us all, isn't there? That's what fascinates me about people: their contradictions... He was a crap painter. He was never going to be an artist.
