    Hitler portrait painting

    Currently on ebay, looks of the period. Can anyone make out the signature?

    Looks like Ciul'ion or maybe Ciation?

      Artistically the painting looks somewhat amateurish and out of proportion. Historically it has some problems. It looks like he's wearing an enlisted style buckle and the armband would not be correct for 1941, he would be wearing the Army style eagle by this time. Did Hitler even wear an armband on his overcoat? I doubt Hitler would be pleased with that double chin as well!

        Yes, I guess your right. The artist was probably sent to the Ostfront afterwards!

          I doubt this is a period painting. If it is, it would be executed from a photo (I've never seen one with this pose) or from imagination. By 1941, Hitler had been wearing his SS designed war tunic for 2 years. He is wearing a Party tunic in this painting. The whole thing looks very amateur and I'm surprised it hasn't been withdrawn by eBay.
