When Hitler got into power, he and his top lieutenants immediately went after anything that smacked of Modernism, especially expressionistic paintings. I would need to refresh my memory about his view specifically of architecture, but we all know he brought in Albert Speer to build colossal new structures that symbolized the Third Reich. There were even exhibits of what Hitler considered hideous art. He also forbade certain types of music associated with the U.S. -- blues, jazz. Wagnerian opera was more his style.

I live in a house built in 1941, the last to be built in this part of New Haven before WW2. It is a lovely small home, CTyankee Jan 2025 #13
