The history of the Renaissance has given a place to the art of its great architects — Brunelleschi, Bramante or Delorme — but has paid little or no attention to their maritime counterparts.

In Mein Kampf, the autobiography he wrote in 1924–1925, Hitler presents himself as a perfect self-taught man with a fully formed worldview.
