No, my first suggestion is incorrect. It's more like: "Gifting the albums to Hitler was intended to sway him in favour of choosing *these pieces* for the Linz Museum."

My comment:

OR ... was (meant) to be the starting point for Hitler's future collection
ad "choix" -> syn. fr. "collection, assortiment"

[NB: The albums, known as the Führeralben, documented the planned inventory of the gallery and are considered the most important historical and visual sources and evidence for the gallery of the never-built Führermuseum!]

Important PS: cf https://www.kunstdatenbank.at/the-fuehrers-prerogative-and-the-planned-fuehrer-museum-in-linz << ... A. Hitler placed all artwork seized in Austria under the Führer’s prerogative. ... The Führer plans to personally decide on the use of the property after its seizure. He is considering putting artwork first and foremost at the disposal of small Austrian towns for their collections. Decree issued by Reich Minister and Head of the Chancellery of the Reich, June 18, 1938. ... The Führer’s prerogative was initially only applied in Austria and was only later extended to the Old Reich and the occupied territories ...>. --- Hitler was obsessed with the idea to make Linz/Danube (as his hometown in Austria, near Bernau = his birthplace) the center of art, industry and trade and to outdo Vienna! By the way, he had unsuccessfully applied to the art academy in Vienna, to try it thereupon in Munich! He was always convinced to be a misjudged art painter and art connoisseur! ERGO ad Führermuseum: HE alone decided and HIS prerogative!
