If I recall correctly he just cadged off others’ work. It was popular at the time for artists needing some cash to go on location and paint postcards of popular landmarks and sell them to tourists. Hitler simply bought these postcards and copied them into his own art so he wouldn’t have to go paint them himself. He had no real personal style, his work was very conventional.

Also, he was awful at depicting humans and animals.
