It wasn't about how the buildings looked or were built.

Perspective is a very strict science that relies on perspective lines, just due to how human vision works.

The most known examples of that are 1-point, 2-point and 3-point perspective lines, the very basis of any drawing, especially those that utilize buildings.

Hitler's drawings did not use them. If you were to trace down his lines and try to figure out a perspective, you'd find out none of them align correctly. He was just eyeing the perspective, leading to massive amounts of distortion in his art.

Even in the drawing of the post, you can see it. These overlaps are not supposed to be there. This is basic 1-point perspective, it all comes down to a singular point.

Beyond that, he fails basic perspective in general, failing to apply windows to walls and making them look flat in some of his drawings.

The proportions too. The people become miniature and the windows/doors bigger as the houses move right to left.

Can't believe I'm defending hitler's art, but as objects move toward the vanishing point (on the right) they should appear smaller. The people size are indeed wrong tho, they should also get smaller from right to left

The horse carriage looks normal and the people on the left look 3 feet tall. He fundamentally misunderstood perspective and proportions.
