PS: Subscription supports genuine glorious
In 1908, winter was coming, and the cold wind in Vienna was filled with a chill to the bone, and many of the ladies who went to the shops on the street were already wearing warm clothes. And on Merdeman Street in the 20th arrondissement, this is the slum. At about nine o'clock in the morning, in front of the soup kitchen of a monastery, in the long procession for receiving a charity breakfast, stood a young man with trembling legs, not more than twenty years old, but who looked like a bohemian tramp of forty years old, not tall, emaciated and emaciated, wearing a shabby black coat that reached to the ankles, much like a Turkish robe, which had been given to him by a Hungarian-Jewish second-hand clothing merchant. On his head, he was also wearing a greasy and shiny black fedora, because he hadn't changed it for a long time, and people close to him behind him could smell the stench. His hair was disheveled, his forehead was slanted, and the hair on the back of his neck was disheveled, covering his dirty collar, because he had no money for a haircut and a face, and his cheeks and chin were often bearded. The young man's name was Adolf. Hitler. At this time, no one knew that he was the head of the Nazi Party that would make the world tremble in history.
Because Austria-Hungary was at war with Serbia, under the Austro-Hungarian military service law, eighteen-year-old men were to be conscripted to the front. Hitler was born in Austria, but hated the multi-ethnic country, and he fled to Vienna to avoid military service. Because of his poverty, he had to live on the streets, selling paintings for a living, and sometimes being hired to sweep snow and carry luggage. At that time, there were 80,000 poor people like Hitler in the vicinity of Merdman Street. The soup kitchen is church-funded and specializes in helping the poor. Frequent by hungry Hitler. Every morning at nine o'clock in the morning, they lined up at the entrance of the monastery near Stonepagas to receive the soup. For the vagabonds in Vienna, it was called "visiting Kasser". Casure is taken from the Holy One. The name of the Abbey of Catherine.
Adolph. Hitler had a hole in his clothes, his buttocks were purple from the cold, and he had chilblains - every day he walked to "Casser", caught up in time, and drank hot soup; Then spend a few hours in a warm chicken feather hotel to escape the cold, or rush back in the evening when the shelter is open. On the way, if there is a longer stopover. He would work as a snow sweeper or carry luggage in Visbanov to earn a small fortune. However, Hitler's body was emaciated. He couldn't do much physical work: with every step, his feet hurt excruciatingly.
A person's personality is often related to the experience of adolescence, which will also determine his future fate. Then 1908. Adolf of youth. Why did Hitler get so miserable? After Song Xiaofei arrived. Will he still have a chance to build the Third German Reich in the future? Let's turn our attention to Hitler's boyhood and see why he changed Germany and the world.
At half past six o'clock in the evening of April 20, 1889, with a thunderclap, Hitler fell to the ground in a small inn called "Pomer" in Braunau, a town on the Rhine on the German-Austrian border.
Hitler was born on the German-Austrian border. This is of great significance, and it made Hitler as early as his youth. He realized the idea that there should be no border between the German-speaking peoples, Germany and Austria, and that they should belong to the same country. Historically, when Hitler squatted in a German prison at the age of 35 and dictated the blueprint of the Third Reich, Mein Kampf, the first few sentences were: Today, it seems to me that fate has chosen Braunau as my birthplace, which is a kind of providence. Because this small town sits on the border of two Germanic countries, and we, the younger generation, have at least made it our lifelong dream to do everything we can to unify the two countries. In my opinion, this small town on the border has become a symbol of my great mission.
Adolph. Hitler's childhood was not a happy one, and his father, Alois. Hitler was a junior clerk at the Austrian customs office, married three times, and was the third child of his father's third wife. Moreover, his father was an illegitimate child. Both Hitler's maternal grandmother and grandfather had the surname Hitler. Hitler's mother was his father's cousin and was married by close relatives, and at that time, permission from the Church had to be sought.
Hitler's hometown was a hilly area with a lot of farmhouses and small farmlands. It has a backcountry look. The inhabitants here are very stubborn, like Czech farmers in the north. Intermarriage was common, and there were many illegitimate children, so Hitler's parents did not experience much resistance to marriage. Hitler's mother, Clara. Porzel was 25 years old when he married his father, while her husband was 48.
Hitler's parents were married on January 1, 1885, and about 4 months and 10 days later they had their eldest son, Gustav. Hitler. But Gustav died in infancy, and his second child, Ida, was born in 1886. The same was true of Hitler. Adolph. Hitler was the third child. Adolph. Hitler's half-brother Alois and sister Angela also grew up alive.
Adolph. When Hitler was 6 years old, his 58-year-old father retired from the customs office and lived on a meager pension to support his family. Hitler's father bought a field near Lambach. Hitler attended a Benedictine monastery for two years, attended the monastery's choir, and took singing lessons, and his dream at that time was to become a priest. Eventually, they settled in Leontin, a southern suburb of Linz, where the family lived in a modest house and garden.
Later, Adolf. Hitler was sent to secondary school in Linz, a good secondary school for the children of wealthy people, and his father spent a lot of money to send Adolf to his son in order to follow his old path, that is, to become a civil servant. Hitler went to study at the Lycée de Linz. It is conceivable that at that time in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, civil servants were still very popular, similar to what China is now, with idle jobs, stable salaries, and some privileges. But the young Hitler did not want to be a civil servant, and his stubborn and resolute struggle against his cold and rigid father showed his strong and unyielding will. His father wanted to make Adolf. Hitler loved the profession of civil servant and told him about his life's experiences, but all these efforts backfired. Hitler felt sick at the thought of being a civil servant, sitting 9 to 5 in an office, and spending his life filling out all sorts of forms. Adolph. Hitler found that he had a talent for painting, and he wanted to go to Vienna to become an artist, and another important reason was because of August, Hitler's only close friend in his youth. Kubišek, Adolf? Hitler called him Kustel.
August. Kubišik's father, a Czech, owned a furniture store in the town, had a bulging forehead, curly hair, large eyes, a small mouth, and a typical baby face, which often made people feel very childish, he was pale, in poor health, and was often hospitalized. But he has loved the art of music since he was a child and aspires to become a world-famous musician. He can play the violin and cello, he can play the trumpet, the bass. At the New Year's opera evening at the Linz High School, Hitler took the initiative to get acquainted with Kubišik, because he felt that Kubišchick was as different as him and had a high artistic talent. Kubišik also thought Hitler was talented, and they became good friends. Kubišek was the only person in the school who could patiently listen to Hitler's tirade, and every time he argued with Hitler, he was finally convinced by his momentum. And in fact, Adolf. When Hitler arrived in middle school, he was taciturn, immersed in fantasy, but his academic performance was always relatively poor, how bad was it, he was the last in the class, the first semester results, he loved sports, only the gymnastics class got a "good", painting got a "good", he liked the two courses history and geography, only got a "medium", mathematics and German failed, and needed to make up the exam. In addition, his family is relatively poor, he dresses more old-fashioned, he usually has low self-esteem in school, and he doesn't like to talk much, only in front of Kubišik, he talks endlessly.
In the spring of 1905, at the age of sixteen, Hitler fell in love with a beautiful Jewish woman in Linz: Stephanie. Isaac. She was a tall, dignified-looking, slender girl, with beautiful thick hair, combed into a bun. Isaac's first glance, Adolf. Hitler excitedly grabbed Kustel by the arm and said firmly: "I tell you, I am in love with her." (To be continued......) u
