Franz Thiele

After completing his primary education in 1883, he received a scholarship, sponsored by the Clam-Gallas [de] family, and went to Vienna.

He made numerous trips throughout Western Europe and visited Tunisia.

He was married twice; in 1909 to Maria Starou then, in 1927, to the painter, Inge Peschka (1903-1993), with whom he had a son.

His next work was a propaganda poster, showing Hitler in front of a cheering crowd.

[2] Near the end of the war, he and Inge were sent to a detention center operated by Czech patriots.
