Explanation: For those not in the know, the infamous Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was an aspiring art student in his youth.

He was rejected from the Vienna School of Arts on account of being immensely mediocre, and spent the next few years of his life listless and directionless until WW1 hit.

again, he was applying for the modern equivalent of a CAD renderer. not someone who makes pretty paintings for decoration/art.

and his perspective lines were all over the place. he was objectively bad at it.
