Learn to use google, for we are in the twenty first century, not nineteenth.

Going a bit off topic, I have read excerpts from Mein Kamph, though.  And I can tell you that for the most part, Hitler's writing style is pretty much pedantic, very different from his envigorating speeches.  You'll be bored to death.

I saw one or two of his oil paintings and I think he actually had some talent. If only his masters found them as appealing as I did. I think he was a frustrated artist, in the end he found the freedom to express his repressed emotions most freely in screaming at the exhilirated masses.

As I'm sure you will probably know, he couldn't paint the human form, which was the reason he was  "failed" artist.

Yes, the ones I liked were the ones which showed public places. The oil paintings for those required only vague repesentations of people, what was more important was the scenery and buildings as well as use of colour.

Well he wasn't exactly dreadful,

I think his subject matter is unispiring, his composition often poor and his execution lacks technique. Then again these things you look for in a student after graduation, not before they attend an art school.

These are the best two I found.
