A Dream Deferred: An Art Timeline

I am thinking of starting a timeline where Adolf Hitler went to England a couple years before World War 1 starts. Someone had pointed out that Liverpool had a lot of Art museums and schools, and I think that his half-brother Alois Hitler can point out some of them and rekindle his dream to become an artist. When searching for past threads, I came across an old thread created earlier this year that had a scenario written by fellow member JBO where Adolf Hitler travels to England to get out of Vienna, and thought that this would provide a great start to this timeline.

I like this idea. I hope you continue with it. What would make him travel to Liverpool and how likely would that be? Also, as an Austrian would he be interred for the duration and how would that affect him?

We all know plenty of ordinary Joes with big, ugly ideas about how they would run things. 'I'd nuke the lot of them' is something I hear a lot of these days. I don't even bother to argue with them anymore. I wonder if Hitler was just another one of these ordinary Joes who unfortunately managed to become obscenely powerful. It's funny to think of him settling in Liverpool, perhaps marrying locally, teaching art in a school there and harbouring all these xenophobic political opinions that he would spout off now an again to bored companions.

Good news for his OTL victims. Bad news for Liverpool drinking cronies.
