The captured German troops were sent to Japan and well cared for, not being repatriated to Germany until 1920. That might solidify Hitler’s Japanese alliance.
No no no no no...
Hitler in Japan? Is all while still having his painting interest in high spirit?
He would end up known as Hitureru Adurofu, or better as Hitureru-sensei, one of the most famous mangaka in Japan, and helping bring the Japanese-style comics being well known to the world at large.
His career in Japan started out small, as a POW from German Tsingtao, he was treated humanely and the officers in his camp noted about the paintings he did during his time, so Hitler was tasked to help as an illustrator in civilian works in exchange for money.
He then started to draw comics from European fairy-tales that he remembered, initially for a small sum of money (so he could have enough when he come back to Germany), but his unique style ends up being very popular with the Japanese Audience, that he started to work as a professional mangaka.
His first works who attained much fame and publication is "Siegumuda Saga: Nibelungu no Yubiwa", or the Saga of Siegmund: The Ring of Nibelungen, being mostly verbatim copy of the Wagner opera, but with Hitler's own twist of said story, as Siegmund end up having a happy ending in the end. That very story is also, coincidentally, being one of the earliest "Japanese" Manga being well known overseas in Europe and America.
Hitler did end up being naturalized as Japanese Citizen, and while he did come back to Germany for book autograph moment, as well as having an honorary concert of Wagner held for his works, led by Czech Conductor August Kubizek during the 1930s, it was said that he found himself more comfortable in Japan now rather than back in Europe.
His most famous work is of course "JiuJiu no kimyo na bouken", or transliterated as JewJew's Bizarre Adventure, which is a series about the humorous adventure of various biblical figures, but having tongue-in-cheek moments and sometimes, either skirting on outright blasphemy or outright dive into very ahistorical materials. Here, it could be said that Hitler was singlehandedly responsible for perpetrating the myth that Ancient Egyptians are angry camel-riding Arabs, the Philistines are stereotypical Greek Hoplites with Goliath being a literal Cyclops, Assyrians are actually Ancient Germans, and how all Gods were real all along. The characters here are noted to having Magical Powers given by their respective Gods, often manifested in a humanoid spirit that fights at their side, named "Stands", which is often named after Medieval European artists. The most iconic being, of course Joshua bar Joseph, or Jesus, with his stand [DA VINCI], his catchphrase "Yare Yare Yahu Wehu Daze" and the fact that he did not die on the cross, but used his stand to massacre the Romans, run away to North America, and died there, having his corpse parts spread across North America who gave any possessors potential to awaken their Stand Powers.
Of course, due to such blasphemous twisting of Biblical stories, Hitler's works end up literally banned in the US, Latin Americans, Italy, Spain, and Poland... until the late 1980s that is
