Re: Hitler's faces

I think that to say Hitler spent his youth in a "softer" way is true. However, when one considers the definition of architect as it applies to something other than literal buildings, Hitler's transformation isn't all that hard to understand. Clearly he had a very specific "architecture" for Germany in mind, and felt that he was just the person to design said architecture. Couple that with the idea that he felt that he and he alone knew what was the BEST design (blueprint) for Germany and you can begin to understand why that transformation took place. After all, when you build your new design doesn't demolition/clearing of the site take place first? I'm not sure Hitler viewed those he was killing as anything other than construction debris - so to speak.
