Hitler v. Hopkins (1937)--The court holds it was not a violation of plaintiff Adolf Hitler's First Amendment rights for the WPA to fire him because he was chairman of a group called "Artists for Lemke." (Hitler later issued a pamphlet *My Struggle in Court* [private printing, Milwaukee 1938] in which he said that he had once intended to be a German politician, but that when he recovered his eyesight after being blinded in 1918, he took it as a sign from God that he should be an artist instead, and move to somewhere like America, where his art would be more likely to be appreciated than it had been in Vienna or Munich. In fact he claimed to have lost all interest in politics until he started listening seriously to Father Coughlin's radio program in the 1930's. BTW, you can still see some of the WPA murals Hitler worked on in the mid-1930s in Milwaukee.)
