A school picture in linz,1900,of an 11-year old boy,who seems to tower over his classmates-he is in a world of his own,arrogant,far-seeing.His only boyhood friend,August Kubizek,later recalled him as a shy, reticent young boy, yet able to burst into hysterical fits of anger towards those who disagreed with him.
This is one of Hitler's earliest photos,and yet the steel grey eyes,the face set with savage and unrelenting conviction are already formed.
