      Facts of biography, not very well known

      Adolf Hitler (he never bore his father’s surname Schicklgruber) was born on April 20, 1889 in the small town of Braunau on the Inn River, on the border of Austria and Germany. His parents were 52-year-old Austrian customs officer Alois Schicklgruber and 20-year-old peasant Clara Pelzl. Both branches of his family came from Waldviertel (Lower Austria), a remote area where small peasant communities were engaged in labor. The gravestone from the grave of Hitler’s parents was removed in Austria in Braunau in 2012, as this place has recently increasingly become an object of pilgrimage for neo-Nazis and their sympathizers, the German news agency DPA reports.

      Hitler’s grandfather Johann Georg Gidler, who worked for hire at the mills, met a peasant girl Anna Maria Schicklgruber, who at that time served as a housekeeper in Graz. In 1837 Anna gave birth to her son Alois, and only five years later Johann Gidler and Anna Maria got married. Alois bore the surname Schicklgruber until 1876, until he officially changed it – since he was brought up in the house of his uncle Johann Nepomuk Gidler – to Hitler. Alois was married three times. His third wife, Klara Pelzl, was 23 years younger than him and gave birth to five children, only two of whom reached adulthood – Adolf and his younger sister Paula.

      Adolf Hitler’s mother Klara was a quiet, hardworking woman, she kept a tidy household and tried in every way to please her husband. Adolf loved his patient mother, and she, in turn, considered him a beloved child, even though, according to her, he was «crazy.» She assured him that he was not like other children, but despite all her love, Adolf grew up a dissatisfied and touchy child. Psychologically, she subconsciously shaped him, as if compensating for her own unhappy family life. Adolf was afraid of his strict father, a domineering and quarrelsome man who subordinated children to his own cruel outlook on life. Unhappy and lonely, thrice unsuccessfully married Alois Hitler sought solace in drinking.

      More than once, young Adolf had to lead his tipsy parent home. Later, he recalled his father as a drunken sadist who squandered family money. This sullen and hot-tempered despot constantly made the children feel the power of his stick or belt. Alois shouted at his son, humiliated him and constantly punished him. There was a huge tension between the two irreconcilable characters. Probably, Hitler’s subsequent fierce hatred stemmed from hatred of his own father, who was partly Jewish – «Micheling». Hitler’s paternal grandfather was Jewish, Walter Langer wrote about this back in 1972 in the book «The Consciousness of Adolf Hitler» (W. Langer, «The Mind of Adolf Hitler. The Secret Wartime report», N.Y., 1972).

      «Hitler was worried that he might be blackmailed because of his Jewish grandfather, and ordered his personal lawyer Hans Frank to check his paternal pedigree. Frank did this and told the Fuhrer that his grandmother got pregnant while working as a servant in a Jewish house in Graz.» During World War II, it was a report to US President Roosevelt and had secret access. Langer also claimed that «all analysts believe that Hitler is probably a neurotic psychopath on the verge of schizophrenia. This means that he is not crazy in the conventional sense of the word, but is a neurotic who lacks restraining reflexes.» In 1895, at the age of six, Adolf entered a folk school in the town of Fischlham, near Linz. Two years later, being a very religious woman, his mother sent him to Lambach, to the parish school of the Benedictine monastery, after which, she hoped, her son would eventually become a priest. But he was expelled from school, found smoking in the monastery garden.

      Then the family moved to Leonding, a suburb of Linz, where young Adolf immediately excelled in his studies. He stood out among his comrades for his perseverance, turning out to be a leader in all children’s games. In 1900—1904. he attended a real school in Linz, and in 1904—1905 in Steyr. In October 1907, 18-year-old Adolf left his terminally ill mother with cancer and went to Vienna to find his way in life. But he suffered a terrible setback – he failed the entrance exams to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. It was a terrible blow to his ego, from which he never recovered, considering «these stupid professors» to be guilty of what happened. In December 1908, his mother died, which was another shock in his life. For the next five years, he supported himself with odd jobs, alms, or selling his sketches. Every day he walked around the cafe, made sketches and tried to sell drawings to buy food. Unshaven, with long hair and beard, in a dirty black bowler hat and a long coat that almost reached the ground, he looked like a downtrodden tramp.

      In Vienna he learned to hate. Rejecting the theory of Karl Marx, he remained faithful to anti-Marxism for the rest of his life. Under the influence of Karl Luger’s writings, young Adolf began to hate Jews as «rats, parasites and bloodsuckers.» Jews, he decided, unite with Marxists to destroy the world. «If the Jews, with the help of Marxists, win over the world, it will mean death for humanity.» In addition, he began to despise democracy and found relief only in dreams of a great and glorious Germany, which would become a great country after the overthrow of the weak Habsburg. By this time he had become interested in mysticism and the occult. In tiny cafes, Adolf made political speeches against those he hated. The audience began to listen to the sickly annoying young man with a hypnotizing look.

      He left Vienna in May 1913 and moved to Munich, Germany. But even here he remained depressed and embittered, lonely and a stranger in the midst of a cheerful and bustling capital city. Military service. In February 1914, Adolf Hitler was summoned to Austria to conduct a medical examination for fitness for military service. But, as «too weak and unfit to serve in the army,» he was released. When the war broke out in August 1914, he asked the King of Bavaria to enlist in his army. He was assigned to the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment, recruited mainly from student volunteers. But only after a few weeks of training he was sent to the front.
