August Kubizek met Hitler in 1904 while they were both competing for standing room at the VIenna opera.Their mutual passion for music created a strong bond, and over the next four years they became inseparable.The Young Hitler I knew tells the story of an extraordinary friendship, and gives fascinating insight into Hitler’s character during these formative years in which his political view and prjudices were formed.This is the first edition to be published in English since 1955, and it restores many changes made for reasons of political correctness in the earlier edition.
