Apparently, Adolf Hitler's father, Alois, was born Alois Schicklgruber. It wasn't until 1876, when he met his own father, Johann, for the first time, that he legally changed his name to Hitler.

So WI this little family reunion never took place and Alois' son was born Adolf Schicklgruber? Could he still achieve such power and influence with such a silly name?

Thoughts?

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized this belongs in the Before 1900 forum. Any way to move it?
