Alois Schicklgruber was born in Graz Austria. He was the illegitimate son of Maria Ana Schicklgruber. She would later marry Johan Georg Heidler. Tragically, both would die before his twentieth birthday. Even though Alois grieved for his parents he embarked on his own journey into life and would marry his sweethart, Klara. Alois and Klara found solitude in their new life but were unsuccessful in their endeavors in farming and bee keeping. Alois would move on and find employment in Lambach where he would find a new successful career in the custom's bureau. He found peace and solitude in the bureaucracy but still dreamed of a life in farming. Like many Austrians, family life was important to both Alois and Klara. They would have six children together but as was common in those early days of medicine, their first three children would die in infancy. Their fourth child would grow into his position of eldest of the three children that followed the deaths of the first three. The child would grow and by the age of eight he would find solace in the church, attending singing lessons and joining the church choir. He even envisioned a life of service to the church as a priest. He would find the acceptance there that was soon becoming the only peace in his life. He was a strong-willed child and was defiant towards his father. The church provided the acceptance he desired from his father and as is typical, a barrier stood between the child's artistic nature and the father's view off success for his offspring. His father envisioned a life of public service for his son and introduced him to what life could hold for his son with a visit to a custom's office. His son possessed different dreams and told his father of his desire for a classical high school and of being an artist. Also, creating further divide between father and son, was the death of his younger brother Edmund from measles. Previously, the young boy showed confidence and excelled in his school work but after his brother's death, there was a marked detachment of the boy towards his father and his once approving teachers. His school work suffered and affected his grades until he barely passed high school. The boy, now a young man, would be enlisted in high school in Linz Germany known as Realschule. His father passed away unexpectedly while he was enrolled and his grades, and behavior, took a turn for the worse. He would barely graduate and he would enter adult life without any intentions of further education or direction. It is surprising to note the accomplishments that would follow the young man into his adult life. He would be known for his leadership in an anti-smoking campaign and would be credited for showing links between the habit and cancer. As a leader of his country he would also be known for his wishes for every family to have a car and saw that dream envisioned in the car affectionately known as "the bug". He would also be credited for turning his country around and improving the employment statistics of his countrymen and improving the economy drastically. During his lifetime he had a fondness for animals and was one of the first leaders of a country to place laws into effect protecting animals and declaring rights for them. He became a charismatic leader and his followers would follow him to the point of committing suicide in the moments before declaring defeat at the hands of their enemies. He was a strong-willed man. He was an Austrian-German but held only to allegiance to Germany and would sing "Deutschlandlied" rather than the Austrian Imperial Anthem. He loved his country even to his death by his own hand. The boy, who would grow up to lead a revolution in his country, was born to a son of illegitimacy who had been legitimized by the brother of his mother's husband - Johan Nepomuk Heidler. In legitimacy Alois Schicklgruber would be renamed Alois Hitler. And his fourth child would be known to the world as Adolf. The child who once dreamed of becoming a priest would become one of the most infamous men in history. Sometimes the truth is the greatest story. My name is Rueuhy and I approve this blog.
