superkret@feddit.org 1 month agoFun fact: Hitler’s father was called Alois Schicklgruber until he was 40.
A pretty convoluted and sketchy turn of events surrounding a small inheritance lead to him being forced to change his last name to Hitler, 10 years before his son Adolf was born.
It’s debatable whether Germans would have been as eager to shout “Heil Schicklgruber”.

They would opt to “Heil Führer” or something. There are other ways to refer to someone than their given name but it’s a fun fact indeed, thanks for sharing!

He could have changed his name, just like Iossif Vissarionovitch Djougachvili.
