Did they meet personally in München, before the WW I? If I know correctly, they did, and Mussolini also met with Lenin. Who knows an exact source about this?

Thanks,

Csaba

I doubt they ever met. Why should Lenin have met Hitler BEFORE WWI???? Lenin was already one the maost famous Russian "dissidents", wheras Hitler still was a nobody. Why should Lenin have wanted to meet an unsuccesful painter? And why should Hitler have been interested in contacting Lenin?

Moreover, I have never heard so far that Lenin - in his second exile (1907-17) - spent some time in Munich. I know he was in Geneva, Paris, Cracow, Bern and Zürich - but Munich?

Lenin - Hitler meeting?

PAH!!

Another rumour that reflects some people's over enthusiasm for preposperousness.

No, although he had a brief fling with communism in the confused days immediately after the war, Hitler never met Lenin.

Huh? "prior to prosperity"??

Ooops!

I should have said "preposterousness". My bad

Pity, much of my interest in Hitler is in the period prior to when he bacame prosperous... I thought you'd finally found a title for the period.

There's a link featuring a sketch from 1909 purporting to show Hitler and Lenin playing chess:
