Prolific Hitler

Sir: Mitford Goodson claims (Letters, 5 September) that 'Adolf Hitler produced up to 30,000 paintings and drawings'. Does this refer to Hitler's own prolific output (amounting to over 10 items a week, every week of his life) or the size of his imagina- tively acquired art collection?
