    'The Island of the Dead' ('Die Toteninsel') from the Swiss symbolist painter
    Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901) was Führer's favorite painting.
    The artist painted five versions of it around 1880. Appearently, the painting was
    also liked by Freud (who posessed numerous reproductions of it) and Lenin (who kept
    a copy in his bedroom). There is a reference to it in a Strindberg play (Ghost Sonata)
    and the title reappears in a symphonic poem by the Russian composer Rachmaninoff
    from 1909.

    Hitler bought the painting at an auction in 1936 and kept it in his office until
    his death in 1945. The painting then 'dissapeared' from Berlin after the fall
    of the Third Reich, only to recently reappear in Leipzig, Germany, where it can
    be admired at the Museum der bildenden Künste.

    The voyage of the dead souls over a body of water to their final resting place
    is a recurrent theme in Aryan mythologies. The Greek myth of Charon (fierce
    brightness), the ferryman of Hades (the god of underworld) is believed to have
    inspired the painting. Charon took the newly dead from one side of the river
    Acheron ("river of woe") to the other if they could pay for the ride (the dead
    in ancient Greece were always buried with a coin underneath their tongue to pay
    Charon).

    Adolf Hitler was an excellent painter himself and an extremely cultured person
    with impeccable aestethic instincts. His favorite painting will always remind me
    of a Valhalla for the fallen NS comerades of WWII.
