Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889, in the small austrian town of Braunau near the German border. Both Hitler's parents had come from poor peasant families. His father alois hitler, the illegitimate son of a housemaid, was an intelligent and ambitious man and later became a senior customs official.
klara hitler was Alois' third wife. Alois was twenty-three years older than Klara
and already had two children from his previous marriages. Klara and
Alois had five children but only Adolf and a younger sister, Paula,
survived to become adults.
Alois, who was fifty-one when Adolf was
born, was extremely keen for his son to do well in life. Alois did have
another son by an earlier marriage but he had been a big disappointment
to him and eventually ended up in prison for theft. Alois was a strict
father and savagely beat his son if he did not do as he was told.
Hitler
did extremely well at primary school and it appeared he had a bright
academic future in front of him. He was also popular with other pupils
and was much admired for his leadership qualities. He was also a deeply
religious child and for a while considered the possibility of becoming a
monk.
Competition was much tougher in the larger secondary school
and his reaction to not being top of the class was to stop trying. His
father was furious as he had high hopes that Hitler would follow his
example and join the Austrian civil service when he left school.
However, Hitler was a stubborn child and attempts by his parents and
teachers to change his attitude towards his studies were unsuccessful. you can read more in link http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERhitler.htm
