Hitler's Profits

The Slate Explainer undertakes to tell us who gets the swag from the artwork produced by the late A. Hitler, which raises an issue I've been speculating on for quite a while. That is: Hitler before he was Hitler made his living (inter alia) as an extremely marginal smalltime Vienna watercolorist. What did he paint? I assume anything that would pay--which means for a moral certainty that at some point, Hitler must have painted some porn.

Gimme a call when you hear about the discovery of watercolors of some apple-cheeked buffs with "Hitler" inscribed in the corner. No, don't bother to call; I'll hear about it anyway, it will be bigger than Susan Boyle.
