Young Adolf really looks like a mini me version of Hitler, it's jarring to watch

Looks like he didn't even switch his hairstyle since he was a kid

Fun fact: many people don't! It's part of why old photos of teenagers look so old to us. Many people don't change their clothing style nor hairstyle much if at all as they age, so what was hip and rad style will be generic old person style about 50 years later

Here's hoping this means there'll be plenty of belly shirts, skinny jeans, guyliner and fishnets worn by retired folks in the 2070s!
