The power of the image

An article in today's Sunday Telegraph says that Hitler used to have a large moustache, but was ordered to clip it so that his gas mask would fit properly, when he was a soldier in the First World War.

Question: Could he still have become Der Fuhrer if he'd still looked like the first photo?

He'd have been more successful !
Nobody would have been able to resist his dapper charm.
Maybe.
I'm not a Nazi !

to be fair he was pretty successful without the twirly moustache. and also, the heil hitler thing would be less agressive if he made everyone twirl an imaginary moustache too. however, it would have made the fawlty towers episode even more funny - don't mention the war!

Would ha have been successful as Schicklgruber ?
