On leaving the army he rented a sparse two-room apartment in Vienna which he would stay in between 1920 and 1929, by which time he was a significant political figure. At this point, Hitlers asceticism changes to becoming more grandiose. In 1929 he bought with party donated funds a luxury apartment , the Nazi party eventually buying out the whole building. This is the apartment where Geli was…
