"A former minister of finance recalled with amazement the scene he
encountered when he was summoned to Hitler's office to discuss a loan
from the Reichsbank to finance one of the Führer's building projects:

When the door was opened, there was Hitler lying on the floor with a
number of toy buildings carefully arranged in front of him. . . . Hitler
did not arise when his guest was announced, but invited his guest to
join him on the floor. His first remark was "Isn't this beautiful? We
must make Berlin the most beautiful city in the world." The official
agreed that it was, but maintained that its realization at the moment
was impossible. . . .

But Hitler was not defeated. He lay flat on his stomach staring at the
models for a considerable period of time in silence. Suddenly he turned
to his visitor and said like a little child with tears in his voice,
"But you can't take this away from me. I will be so unhappy. You must
let me have it!". . . <http://www.questia.com/58049039>

The Führer liked to build things; he also liked to knock them down. In
the basement of the Reichschancellery there was a miniature cannon with
a barrel about 30 inches long and a special silencer built into the
chamber. Hitler delighted in loading, aiming, and firing the little
piece himself. His targets were wooden buildings and figures of "enemy"
soldiers: Polish, English, French, and Russian--the Russians were
painted with ugly, leering faces. As a very special favor to his friend
Mussolini, Hitler let him play with his toy, loading and shooting it
himself."
