Anyone who thinks this is for real is seriously being conned, Hitler would have been much thinner then, and Lenin by the age of 40 would certainly have been bald! its a fantasy pic, which actually is a very imaginative idea, shame Churchill is not stood in the background puffing on a Cigar and giving advice to them both. It has been documented though that Hitler and Lenin did live in the same street in Munich Schnellingstrasse in Schwabing, but like 20 years apart!!!
