THE YOUNG HITLER I KNEW BY AUGUST KUBIZEK

[scorpio]

Has anyone read this book. Written by a man who was very close friends with hitler when they were both 16-19 years old.
He then met him again after 30 years, when Hitler was at the peak of his power.
Paints a very complex picture of Hitler, from someone who was very close to him and his mother.
I would appreciate any comments by those who have read it.

Hi Scoripio11,

It is mentioned on these two threads.  I've read the book and found it quite moving in parts. The ending of the book is brilliant.  Simply brilliant and true. I was totally taken in by it and captivated by Kuzibeck's poignancy. To have nothing, and then to have everything and then to then loose it all.

It parallels some of my own experiences in some parts of Hitler's youth, I was shocked to read it and recalled some of my own feelings at that time. Hitler knew that when you hit rock bottom, you either sell out or fight back.

 I found Kubizek's book along with the movie Der Untergang - Downfall (2004) as insightful into what he fought for. In fact, Kuzibeck's book tempers a lot of other findings about Hitler being a "Rothschild Agent-Jewish" or something like that.  It definitely doesn't come across in Kuzibeck's experiences.  You can see that the Jewish manipulated Multi-Cultural Austro-Hungarian Empire is clearly in his thoughts and that he wanted to destroy it a rebuild it with a Pan-National German Union. His ideals for wanting to unite the "Germans" and restore Germany had more to do with his admiration of Germany from afar and his experiences as a proud, poor "minority" German in Austria.  He is definitely deeper and more complex from Kuzibeck's point of view than the crap spewed by the Jewish History Channel.

"He did not know what resignation meant," says Kubizek. "He who resigned, he thought, lost his right to live."

Thanks for the reply. Excellent analysis.
 Just finishing the book now. Hardly the portrait of the most evil man ever to live, eh?
He seems quite honorable and not corrupt. Yes this put to rest the notion that Hitler was a secret rothschild.
There is no way his mother worked for anyone as a maid. Moreover, Hitler looks quite a bit like his father.
A fascinating read and brings up more questions than answers.
The most amazing part is when he meets Hitler again after 30 years.
