Often in disputes, articles and even books, the surname Schicklgruber is mentioned as Hitler's surname. But it is not so.
According to the official version, Adolf Hitler's father, AlOis (or AloIs), first bore his mother's surname - Schicklgruber, being illegitimate. No one questions this fact, but the further development of events has several versions. According to the official version, Alois' mother Anna-Marie married miller's assistant Georg Hiedler, Alois's real father, when the boy was already 5 years old, but he continued to bear his mother's surname, although Georg did not deny his paternity. According to rumors circulating at that time, Adolf Hitler’s grandmother was a somewhat frivolous girl, and even before the birth of her son, she also went out with Georg’s brother, 15 years younger than him, Nepuk.
Only in 1876, when Alois’s father Georg was already 84 years old and he himself was 39, he changed his mother’s surname to “Hitler”. In fact, as historian Wolfgang Cedral states in his book “The Hitlers,” Alois’s father died 19 years earlier, but since during his lifetime he did not renounce paternity and there were eyewitnesses to this, it was notarized with the help of 3 witnesses . The younger brother of Alois's father, his uncle Nepomuk, inherited his brother's fortune and wanted to allocate a share to his illegitimate son, but made it an indispensable condition for the official recognition of paternity that Alois change his surname to "Hitler". Then I remembered the version that Alois’s father could also be Georg’s brother, and that this is why he insisted on Alois taking the name Hitler. In short, each of the Hitler brothers (Hiedler) could be the father of Alois, and the grandfather of Adolf (DNA testing did not yet exist). The surname “Hidler” was mistakenly distorted when recording, and thus the surname “Hitler” was born, which in Russian pronunciation was fixed as “Hitler”.
In the 60s of the twentieth century, a third version of the origin of Adolf Hitler's father appeared, supported by some authors. It was based on the memoirs of Hans Frank, who was Governor-General of occupied Poland from 1939-1945. He presented a version of the Jewish origin of Alois Hitler: supposedly his real father was the Jewish merchant Frankenberger from Graz, for whom Alois’ mother allegedly worked as a servant. Thus, it turned out that Adolf had a quarter of Jewish blood. I was just studying at the institute in the 60s, and this version was vigorously discussed among students and teachers. Opinions were expressed, which even later received some reflection in fiction, that Hitler’s grandfather allegedly married a Jewish woman because of her wealth, but her father made it an indispensable condition that the groom take his wife’s Jewish surname as revenge on his son-in-law for his desire to join the wealth . This circumstance, they say, partly explains Adolf Hitler’s hatred of Jews. This version was studied and later refuted by Werner Maser: there was not a single Jewish family with the surname Frankenberger in Graz in the second half of the 19th century, and Alois's mother did not visit or work in this city at the relevant time. In addition, it remains unclear what the surname Frankenberger has to do with Schicklgruber. Obviously, as the historian Brigitte Hammann believes, with his version Frank, an ardent anti-Semite, wanted to attribute to the Jews the crimes of the Hitler regime too.
Alois first married Anna Glasl-Hörer, the daughter of a high-ranking customs official, who was 14 years older than him. This marriage allowed him to start a career in customs, but they had no children, Alois left her, and she soon died. In his second marriage to Franziska Matzelsberger, who was 24 years younger than him, and with whom he already had an illegitimate son by that time, another daughter was born, but Franziska died in 1884 from tuberculosis. Alois married a year later for the third time to Clara Pölzl, his second cousin, who became the mother of the future Fuhrer.
Due to their close relationship, their relationship, which began long ago, even before Alois’s second marriage (she had worked as a servant in his family since the age of 15 during his first marriage), could not be officially formalized without the permission of the bishop in Linz. He sought advice in Rome, received consent, and then their marriage became legal. There they had six children, four of whom died at an early age, only two survived - Adolf, born in 1889, and his sister Paula, born in 1896.
Adolf's father, Alois, died in 1903, aged 65. In 2012, at the request of one of his descendants, the grave of Adolf’s parents in the suburbs of Linz was liquidated and given over to other burials, under the pretext that it served as a place of pilgrimage for right-wing extremist circles.
Thus, Adolf Hitler was born 13 years after his father changed his surname, and from birth bore his real surname. This is the origin story of the name Hitler, which belonged to one of the most terrible fiends of hell, Amalek of the twentieth century. Now German director Niki Stein is filming for German television an eight-part biographical feature film about Hitler (with a budget of 15 million euros) and his life between 1914-1945, in which he wants to answer the main question for himself: “How and why did it develop into Hitler, this burning hatred of Jews? I think this series will arouse interest and fierce debate, we’ll see.
Having spent happy pre-school years in Austria and Germany, dealing with the German language all my life, studying the history and culture of these countries, having visited there twice many years later, loving all this and appreciating the contribution of these countries to world civilization for centuries , I always wondered this question: “How could this happen to them, who and what turned them into monsters, where did the man in them go?” And burdened with the burden of years, knowledge and feelings, I have to admit - I don’t know, I couldn’t comprehend. That’s why I continue digging, itching, and personally - my grandfather’s parents disappeared in Kovno.
(By the way, in the TSB, Adolf’s original surname is mistakenly indicated as Schicklgruber, so in this case I used German sources.)
The name “Hitler” used to be associated with something negative in our country. No one even really knew when Hitler's birthday was. And it would never even have occurred to anyone to congratulate him on his next anniversary.
But there were young people who wanted to congratulate Hitler so much that they even cut their hair bald. It would seem, what joy would Hitler get from this? But such questions are asked only by those who have something to ask. The rest shave their heads so that their heads rest in the summer, are ventilated in the fall, their hats fit better in winter, and Hitler would be happy in the spring.
It is for such people that we publish the biography of Adolf Schicklgruber-Hitler. For the first time in Russian, by the way.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Little Gitlya was born in territory occupied by the Germans. But this is not what made him a fascist. First, Gitli's childhood was stolen from him. It happened like this: Gitlya was forced to go to school, and after school to walk back and stop at the store on the way. But this is not what made him a fascist. Although it made me very angry.
Then Gitli's adolescence was stolen from him. One beautiful girl (not Eva Braun, but more beautiful) did not want Gitlya to tickle her with his youthful mustache. Gitli immediately developed a cockroach complex. He began to be afraid of people in hard shoes with newspapers in their hands.
To overcome this complex, Gitl joined the army. There his youth was stolen from him, along with foot wraps and a photograph of a naked woman (possibly his mother or sister).
Gitlya could no longer tolerate this and became a fascist. In addition, he added the courageous letter “ER” to his rather flimsy name and turned from the fumbling Gitli into the Fuhrer Hitler.
At that time, there were few fascists in Germany, and Hitler easily stood out among them, beating the second German fascist and two anti-fascists. From that moment on, there were four fascists in Germany.
Adolf suggested wonderful fascist names to his friends: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and Hitler. Everyone wanted to be Hitler, because the other names seemed kind of frogish.
But Adolf himself was already Hitler. Then he came up with nicknames for his friends: Borman, Shmorman and Otorman. They somehow agreed to Borman, but Shmorman and Otorman were left without owners. I had to pull out the names of Goebbels and Himmler, hidden for good people.
At this point Borman was offended. If he had known that later such Zykan names as Goebbels and Himmler would be thrown out, would he have agreed to the almost Jewish Bormann? I had to take “Bormann” back and give it NZ - the sonorous name “Goering”.
Finally, all procedural issues were resolved and Hitler, Goering, Himmler and Goebbels (sounds great, right?) could go and drink beer in a Munich pub.
It was there that these four “Ges,” as those around them called them, decided to conquer the whole world. And not with the help of smiles or some “Yesterday” song, but for real: with the help of SS divisions, Panther tanks and Messerschmidt aircraft.
When the money ran out, but the desire to drink beer still remained, the friends ordered the bartender to pour them a loan. The burry bartender refused and in the program of the angry fascists a clause appeared about special camps where such bartenders would be kept and all sorts of nasty things could be done to them. There are different humiliations there... So that you can pinch the bartender on the nose or give him a slap, and if he, such a clever bastard, decides to dodge, then burn him in the stove.
The bartender was immediately informed about this program, but for some reason he did not believe it, did not sell the bar and did not leave the country. But he had such an opportunity for another fifteen years.
Nobody immediately gave the scoundrels a hat, and they became insolent: they took it and came to power. What did the people buy? They took it and promised that the people would no longer work. The people really liked it, but the question arose: who would work then? Goebbels came up with the answer on the spot, saying that others would work. And Bormann added “peoples”. Himmler clarified that they would not be conquered today or tomorrow specifically for this purpose.
And indeed, looking ahead, let’s say that the peoples of Europe were conquered surprisingly quickly. They immediately began working for the Germans and only asked not to kill them.
But with the Russians everything turned out to be more complicated. Firstly, they are very similar to the Germans - they also don’t like to work. But unlike the Germans, they like to drink vodka, not beer. Moreover, they drink as much vodka as the Germans drink water in the morning after beer.
But let's return to Hitler. In his prime, he fell in love with Eva Braun (translated: the Primordial Brown Woman). It must be said that Eva was not a beauty, but they did not tell Hitler this. And when he realized this, it was difficult to get rid of Eve. I had to poison her. By chance, together with Eva, Hitler poisoned the dog, himself, and released water into the Berlin swastika banner named after Hitler.
For some reason, everyone decided that Hitler was so upset because he lost the war. Fascists don’t get upset over such little things. And even more so, they don’t poison themselves in vain because of this. At most: they will change their name, appearance, and go to Argentina.
No, this is a common everyday mistake when a wife is poisoned.
In general, Hitler’s life was so boring that when it ended, he only managed to say: “Halt!” that's all. There was nothing to even remember. Just one stupid animal desire for everything to continue, for everyone to have money and money. (c)
Hitler Adolf Hitler Adolf
(Hitler), real name Schicklgruber (1889-1945), Fuhrer (leader) of the National Socialist Party (since 1921), head of the German fascist state (in 1933 he became Reich Chancellor, in 1934 he combined this post and the post of president). Established a regime of fascist terror in Germany. Direct initiator of the outbreak of World War 2, the treacherous attack on the USSR (June 1941). One of the main organizers of the mass extermination of prisoners of war and civilians in the occupied territory. With the entry of Soviet troops into Berlin, he committed suicide. At the Nuremberg trials he was recognized as the main Nazi war criminal.
HITLER AdolfHITLER (Hitler) Adolf (April 20, 1889, Braunau am Inn, Austria - April 30, 1945, Berlin), Fuhrer and Imperial Chancellor of Germany (1933-1945).
Youth. World War I
Hitler was born into the family of an Austrian customs official, who until 1876 bore the surname Schicklgruber (hence the opinion that this was Hitler's real surname). At the age of 16, Hitler graduated from a real school in Linz, which did not provide a complete secondary education. Attempts to enter the Vienna Academy of Art were unsuccessful. After the death of his mother (1908), Hitler moved to Vienna, where he lived in homeless shelters and did odd jobs. During this period, he managed to sell several of his watercolors, which gave him grounds to call himself an artist. His views were formed under the influence of the extreme nationalist Linz professor Petsch and the famous anti-Semite Mayor of Vienna K. Lueger. Hitler felt hostility towards the Slavs (especially the Czechs) and hatred towards the Jews. He believed in the greatness and special mission of the German nation. On the eve of the First World War, Hitler moved to Munich, where he led his old lifestyle. In the first years of the war, he volunteered for the German army. He served as a private, then as a corporal, and took part in combat operations. He was wounded twice and awarded the Iron Cross.
Leader of the NSDAP
Defeat in the war of the German Empire and the November Revolution of 1918 (cm. NOVEMBER REVOLUTION 1918 in Germany) Hitler perceived it as a personal tragedy. Weimar Republic (cm. WEIMAR REPUBLIC) considered the product of traitors who “stabbed in the back” the German army. At the end of 1918 he returned to Munich and joined the Reichswehr (cm. REICHSWERH). On behalf of the command, he was engaged in collecting compromising material on participants in the revolutionary events in Munich. On the recommendation of Captain E. Rehm (cm. REM Ernst)(who became Hitler's closest ally) became part of the Munich right-wing radical organization - the so-called. German Workers' Party. Quickly ousting its founders from the leadership of the party, he became the sovereign leader - the Fuhrer. On Hitler's initiative, in 1919 the party adopted a new name - the German National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (in German transcription NSDAP). In German journalism of that time, the party was ironically called “Nazi” and its supporters “Nazis.” This name stuck with the NSDAP.
Software installations of Nazism
The basic ideas of Hitler that had emerged by this time were reflected in the NSDAP program (25 points), the core of which was the following demands: 1) restoration of the power of Germany by uniting all Germans under a single state roof; 2) assertion of the dominance of the German Empire in Europe, mainly in the east of the continent - in the Slavic lands; 3) cleansing German territory from the “foreigners” littering it, especially Jews; 4) liquidation of the rotten parliamentary regime, replacing it with a vertical hierarchy corresponding to the German spirit, in which the will of the people is personified in a leader endowed with absolute power; 5) liberation of the people from the dictates of global financial capital and full support for small and handicraft production, creativity of people of liberal professions. These ideas were outlined in Hitler’s autobiographical book “My Struggle” (Hitler A. Mein Kampf. Muenchen., 1933).
"Beer putsch"
By the beginning of the 1920s. The NSDAP has become one of the most prominent right-wing extremist organizations in Bavaria. E. Rehm stood at the head of the assault troops (German abbreviation SA) (cm. REM Ernst). Hitler quickly became a political figure to be reckoned with, at least within Bavaria. By the end of 1923, the crisis in Germany worsened. In Bavaria, supporters of the overthrow of the parliamentary government and the establishment of a dictatorship grouped around the head of the Bavarian administration, von Kahr; an active role in the coup was assigned to Hitler and his party.
On November 8, 1923, Hitler, speaking at a rally in the Munich beer hall "Bürgerbraukeler", proclaimed the beginning of a national revolution and announced the overthrow of the government of traitors in Berlin. Top Bavarian officials, led by von Kahr, joined in this statement. At night, NSDAP assault troops began to occupy administrative buildings in Munich. However, soon von Kar and his entourage decided to compromise with the center. When Hitler led his supporters into the central square on November 9 and led them to the Feldgerenhala, Reichswehr units opened fire on them. Carrying away the dead and wounded, the Nazis and their supporters fled the streets. This episode went down in German history under the name “Beer Hall Putsch.” In February - March 1924, the trial of the leaders of the coup took place. Only Hitler and several of his associates were in the dock. The court sentenced Hitler to 5 years in prison, but after 9 months he was released.
Reich Chancellor
During the absence of the leader, the party disintegrated. Hitler had to practically start all over again. Rem provided him with great help, beginning the restoration of the assault troops. However, a decisive role in the Revival of the NSDAP was played by Gregor Strasser, the leader of right-wing extremist movements in Northern and Northwestern Germany. By bringing them into the ranks of the NSDAP, he helped transform the party from a regional (Bavarian) into a national political force.
Meanwhile, Hitler was looking for support at the all-German level. He managed to win the trust of the generals, as well as establish contacts with industrial magnates. When parliamentary elections in 1930 and 1932 brought the Nazis a significant increase in the number of parliamentary mandates, the ruling circles of the country began to seriously consider the NSDAP as a possible participant in government combinations. An attempt was made to remove Hitler from the leadership of the party and rely on Strasser. However, Hitler managed to quickly isolate his associate and close friend and deprive him of all influence in the party. In the end, the German leadership decided to give Hitler the main administrative and political post, surrounding him (just in case) with guardians from traditional conservative parties. January 31, 1933 President Hindenburg (cm. HINDENBURG Paul) appointed Hitler as Reich Chancellor (Prime Minister of Germany).
Already in the first months of his stay in power, Hitler demonstrated that he did not intend to take into account restrictions, no matter who they came from. Using the Nazi-organized arson of the parliament building (Reichstag) as a pretext (cm. REICHSTAG)), he began the wholesale “unification” of Germany. First the communist and then the social democratic parties were banned. A number of parties were forced to dissolve themselves. Trade unions were liquidated, the property of which was transferred to the Nazi labor front. Opponents of the new government were sent to concentration camps without trial or investigation. Mass persecution of “foreigners” began, culminating a few years later in Operation Endleuzung. (cm. HOLOCAUST (author Yu. Graf))(Final Solution), aimed at the physical destruction of the entire Jewish population.
Hitler's personal (real and potential) rivals in the party (and outside it) did not escape repression. On June 30, he took a personal part in the destruction of SA leaders who were suspected of disloyalty to the Fuhrer. The first victim of this massacre was Hitler's longtime ally, Rehm. Strasser, von Kahr, former Reich Chancellor General Schleicher and other figures were physically destroyed. Hitler acquired absolute power over Germany.
The Second World War
To strengthen the mass base of his regime, Hitler carried out a number of measures designed to gain popular support. Unemployment was sharply reduced and then eliminated. Large-scale humanitarian aid campaigns have been launched for people in need. Mass, cultural and sports celebrations, etc. were encouraged. However, the basis of the policy of the Hitler regime was preparation for revenge for the lost First World War. For this purpose, industry was reconstructed, large-scale construction began, and strategic reserves were created. In the spirit of revenge, propaganda indoctrination of the population was carried out. Hitler committed gross violations of the Treaty of Versailles (cm. TREATY OF VERSAILLES 1919), which limited Germany's war efforts. The small Reichswehr was transformed into a million-strong Wehrmacht (cm. VERMACHT), tank troops and military aviation were restored. The status of the demilitarized Rhine Zone was abolished. With the connivance of the leading European powers, Czechoslovakia was dismembered, the Czech Republic was absorbed, and Austria was annexed. Having secured Stalin's approval, Hitler sent his troops into Poland. In 1939, World War II began. Having achieved success in military operations against France and England and having conquered almost the entire western part of the continent, in 1941 Hitler turned his troops against the Soviet Union. The defeats of the Soviet troops at the first stage of the Soviet-German war led to the occupation by Hitler's troops of the Baltic republics, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and part of Russia. A brutal occupation regime was established in the occupied territories, which killed many millions of people. However, from the end of 1942, Hitler’s armies began to suffer defeats. In 1944, Soviet territory was liberated from occupation, and fighting approached the German borders. Hitler's troops were forced to retreat in the west as a result of the offensive of the Anglo-American divisions that landed in Italy and on the coast of France.
In 1944, a conspiracy was organized against Hitler, the purpose of which was his physical elimination and the conclusion of peace with the advancing Allied forces. The Fuhrer was aware that the complete defeat of Germany was inevitably approaching. On April 30, 1945, in besieged Berlin, Hitler, together with his partner Eva Braun (whom he had married the day before), committed suicide.

Adolf Hitler was the third son from the third marriage of a minor Austrian
an official, illegitimate, who bore the surname until thirty-nine years of age
to his mother Schicklgruber. The surname Hitler was found on both the maternal and
and on the paternal side. Both Hitler's maternal grandmother and his paternal grandfather wore

thirty seven. The story of Hitler's paternal ancestors is completely different.
As we noticed, the pronunciation of the surname changed, and the place of residence also changed
families. The Hitlers were characterized by inconstancy, an eternal craving for moving from
villages to villages. They took on one job after another, not wanting to

frivolity.

quote from William Shirer's book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" (WILLIAM SHIRER "THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH")
Hitler's real name was a subject of debate among historians for several decades after the end of World War II. Many versions of the origin of the German bloody tyrant were considered. Disputes regarding Hitler's surname are natural, because any scandalous fact related to a famous person always causes a stir in society. In order to understand the nature of the different versions, it is necessary to remember the genealogy of Adolf Hitler.
The reasons for the controversy over the name of the German Fuhrer
The father of the Fuhrer of the Third Reich, Hitler, Alois, was born in 1837. It was from this time that the “surname problem” of the future German dictator began. His mother was Maria Anna Schicklgruber. In modern terms, this woman had the status of a single mother. At the time of her son's birth, she was not married, so Alois, Adolf's father, was recorded in his mother's surname. Following this logic, Hitler's real name is Schicklgruber. Knowing that the Fuhrer, at least during the years of his active political life, bore the name Hitler, we understand that the situation was not so simple.
Who was Adolf Hitler's grandfather?
The question of Hitler's own grandfather is also controversial. To understand the legitimacy of Hitler having this particular surname, it is necessary to establish exactly who Alois’s father was. The versions here are different, because Maria Anna led a rather dissolute lifestyle in her youth, so it is impossible to be 100% sure who is Adolf’s grandfather. The most likely option is that Alois’s father should be recognized as the poor miller Johann Georg Hiedler (by the way, this is the most correct spelling of this surname). This man did not have his own home and lived in poverty all his life. According to the testimony of some people, during the same period, Maria Anna could also meet with Johann Georg’s brother, Nepomuk Güttler, who was 15 years younger. But this option is unlikely, because even Gidler himself recognized his paternity. If Alois’s father is still not Hidler, but Nepomuk, then Hitler’s real name could be Güttler.
Jewish version of the origin of Adolf Hitler
We all remember very well one of the fundamental moments of the ideology of the fascist party NDASP, which consisted in total hatred and the need to exterminate the Jewish people. The version that Hitler's father was Jewish appeared in the 1950s. It was expressed by the Governor-General of Poland from 1939 to 1945. Hans France. He said in his memoirs that Hitler's mother, some time before his birth, worked on the estate of the Jewish merchant Frankenberg. Of course, there is no evidence of the mother’s love affair with this Jew, but still, according to Hans France, Hitler’s real name should be Frankenberg.
Considering the likelihood of this version through the prism of the ideology of fascism and national socialism, historians almost immediately rejected the possibility of such paternity in principle.
Schicklgruber becomes Hitler
In 1876, the Fuhrer's father Alois decided to change his last name. As we have already emphasized, at birth he was recorded by his mother’s maiden name. He bore this surname until he was 39 years old. According to some sources, in 1876 Johann Hiedler was still alive and officially recognized paternity. Other sources claim that Gidler had already died at that time.
How did the procedure for changing your surname take place? According to German law in force at that time, to confirm paternity, testimony was required from at least three people who knew the father and mother of the person changing the data in the information about the parents. Alois Schicklgruber found three such witnesses. The notary formalized the change of surname. We will not analyze the meaning of changing personal data, because it was a purely personal decision of Alois Hitler.
Adolf Hitler: real name and surname
The bloody German dictator was born on April 20, 1889. 13 years have passed since changes were made to the birth certificates of his father. There is no doubt that he could not bear the surname Schicklgruber, although in the first editions of the great Soviet encyclopedia this man appears precisely as Adolf Schicklgruber. By the way, the version of Soviet historians regarding Hitler’s surname was based on the fact that in his first drawings he put his grandmother’s maiden name as a signature.
Today there is no longer a dispute, because all historians are sure: Hitler’s real name and surname correspond to the data that has remained forever in the history of the 20th century.
