Hitler decided he wanted to study art. He loved buildings and could draw a building he saw from memory. Confident that he would get accepted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts young Hitler took the entrance exam for painting. Failure hit him hard when he did not pass. A year later he tried again to get into the art school, but he was rejected. He never got to go to art school but did succeed in 1932 of designing the prototype for the Volkswagen Beetle. In 1937 Hitler and the Nazis started an art movement/exhibition called "Degenerate Art." Degenerate art was considered un-German and Jewish in nature.
