Fascinating. What was his position in politics at the time of this pic?

So from the article which shared this picture here's what I got:

In Munich, Hitler continued painting, once again making a small living by selling painted pictures of landmarks to local shops. When asked by an old acquaintance how he would make a permanent living, Hitler said it did not matter since there soon be a war. On August 1st, 1914, a huge, enthusiastic crowd including Hitler gathered in a big public plaza in Munich – the occasion – to celebrate the German proclamation of war.

Photographers are such pansies. How can you ever justify not helping those in need for a picture?

Yeah, it's a tough decision to justify.

Took the guy's life in the end from all that depression.
