The Third Edition of the Great Soviet Encyclopaedia (1969-1978) consisted of 30 volumes (volume 24 was published in two books: the second, additional book simply entitled – “USSR”) – with a later additional volume published in 1981 entitled “Alphabetical Name Index” – although without a number. Despite Khrushchev’s betrayal of Joseph Stalin in 1956 – the recording and broadcasting of all available data to the Soviet (and progressive) peoples of the world remained a high priority and was achieved to a very great degree. However, within the Third Edition of this Soviet encyclopaedia – under the heading covering Adolf Hitler it was stated that according to certain Western sources – Hitler’s ‘true’ surname at birth was ‘Schicklgruber’. Indeed, even today this allegation is often repeated in the West with the added assumption that this name would suggest that Hitler was ‘Jew’ and that he had deliberately changed his surname to hide this fact.
What was Adolf Hitler’s real name? At first glance this question seems absurd. Everyone knows the first and last name of the Dictator of the Third Reich. However, for many years there hsave been TWO contending versions regarding Adolf’s real surname. Where did these names originate – and what is Hitler’s real surname?
The two surnames that are allegedly associated with Adolf Hitler are as follows:
a) Schicklgruber
b) Frankenberg
Schicklgruber
Is Adolf’s use of ‘Hitler’ as a surname nothing but a pseudonym? The short and sonorous ‘Hitler’ surname leads to the suspicion that it is in fact a pseudonym – and that it hides the Dictator’s true family name. Moreover, biographical facts do cast doubt upon the name of ‘Hitler’ being a genuine surname. The idea that Hitler’s real name sounds different is connected with the origin of his father Alois, who was born in 1837. Five years after Alois’ birth – his 47-year-old (single mother) named Maria-Anna Schicklgruber – married a poor 50-year-old mill worker named Johann Georg Hiedler, but due to family tensions, Alois continued to bear the ‘Schicklgruber’ surname of his mother until 1876. Therefore, if this logic is followed, then the real surname of Adolf should technically be ‘Schicklgruber’. The problem is that the leader of the Nazi Germany never ‘officially’ bore such a surname. It was his father – Alois – who bore it long before Adolf was born, but by that time Alois had ‘officially’ changed his surname to ‘Hitler’ (apparently after his step-father – Johann Georg Hiedler) – although this narrative is NOT without its problems.
The biological father of the future Dictator was apparently NOT the poor miller ‘Johann Georg Hiedler’ – but his younger brother named ‘Johann Nepomuk Güttler’. There has been some speculation that the local Christian priest wrote everything down ‘by ear’ – and that he mistakenly ascribed to different surnames to two brothers – ‘Hiedler’ and ‘Güttler’ – with hybrids developing of ‘Gudler’, ‘Gidler’ and ‘Hitler’. Overtime a consensus formed that favoured ‘Hitler’ in official documents – with the Austrian Courts having to make sense of the mess caused by the Christian clergy. Therefore, ‘Alois Schicklgruber’ became ‘Alois Hitler’ at aged 39-years old (during 1876). At the very least, the surname Hitler is a misspelling of ‘Hieldler’ – with the added complication that ‘Johann Nepomuk Güttler’ may have been the real father of Alois – whilst perhaps being forced to take the surname of his older and far richer wife! (This dominance of wealthy women has opened the door to speculations that these females were of ‘Jewish’ origin).
Frankenberg
Was Hitler’s real name – Frankenberg? There are many publications on this topic all stating that Adolf Hitler’s real surname is ‘Frankenberg’ – with his real father being of Jewish origin. Allegedly, because this Jewish father refused to recognize his son – the Fuhrer began to hate all Jews. The Governor-General of occupied Poland between 1939-1945 was the Nazi-supporting Hans Frank. Prior to his execution in 1946 – he stated that Alois Hitler’s mother worked for some time as a maid in the house of a wealthy merchant and moneylender – the well-known Jew named Leopold Frankenberg. Hans Frank further stated that Leopold Frankenberg (and his son) routinely engaged in sexual intercourse with the housekeeper. Where did Hans Frank get this information from? According to Frank, Hitler himself told him in the late 1930s – when he discussed the ‘disgusting blackmail’ that his nephew (living in England) tried to carry-out against him. In the letter, this money-hungry man threatened the Fuhrer that he would ‘reveal to everyone the truth’ about Hitler’s Jewish origins!
Conclusion:
I suspect that if the local Christian priest in question was ‘Catholic’ – there is no reason to believe that he was an ethnic Austrian – as the Catholic Church routinely deploys priests of differing ethnicities and cultural backgrounds into different locations – providing they are fluent in the local language. This might explain why the priest mistook the Austrian name of ‘Hiedler’ for ‘Hitler’ not realising that no such name as ‘Hitler’ existed. In effect, through a lack of familiarity with a language and culture a ‘new’ surname was created by this scribing error. As his father was ‘born’ with the name ‘Schicklgruber’ – surely Hitler, although not born with this name – possessed a legitimate right to lay claim to it. Therefore, the person history knows as ‘Adolf Hitler’ possesses the legal to claim the ‘Hiedler’ and ‘Schicklgruber’ surnames – even though there is NO evidence that he ever did. Indeed, the evidence seems to suggest that Adolf Hitler went out of his way to ‘hide’ these names from his biographies. As for ‘Frankenberg’ – there is NO evidence to support this theory as it stands. It seems that the condemned Nazi – Hans Frank – appears to be attempting to associate Adolf Hitler with a variant of his own family name.
