hitler art for sale

I don't really care, one way or another about this, but would have serious doubts about the authenticity of every piece up for sale. The dude was a failed artist - unknown and unappreciated. What few works he sold were done so at bargain basement prices and a many years before any fame came to him. How many of these paintings would have been kept and preserved, and how many would the owners have paid attention to who the painter was, etc.? By all accounts, hitler was a painter of quite modest talent. There are not legions of art experts going over these pieces, knowledgeable in the finer points of his technique, as might happen with a Da Vinci, etc. And copies wouldn't need to use materials and attempt to look as if they were done in centuries past - only a hundred years or so. The whole market seems ripe for plucking under such circumstances.
