Why did God let this "man" be saved before he became mankind's greatest monster?
I'm pretty sure that after reading the title you're mistakenly wondering "What the hell is this man?" And "Why would God do this?"
Well, I just made up the headline to get your attention and voila, read this article and smile while confused.
Now, this is the story of a child who nearly drowned.
Max Tremmel, a famous priest and organist in Europe, said that his predecessor Johann Kuehberger was the one who saved the boy from drowning when they were both children.
Father Tremmel recounted that, shortly before his death in 1980, Father Kuehberger, who was also a child like Adolf Hitler, saw the boy struggling in the icy waters of the Inn River and jumped in to save him.
In fact, history was never confirmed by Hitler during his lifetime and the name Johann Kuehberger never existed.
Looking at the positions of Max Tremmel and Adolf Hitler, they were only an hour apart on the day he (Adolf Hitler) was 4 years old.
The second story concerns a German newspaper clipping from 1894 found in the city of Passau.
The newspaper clipping, identified as the Donauzeitung Danube newspaper, describes how a "young man" fell through the thin ice of the river and how a teammate resolutely entered the icy water to save the child.
The incident is believed to have occurred in January 1894, when Hitler's family was residing in Passau, the newspaper said.
Another mention of Hitler's drowning story can be found in the book by German author Anna Rosmus titled "Out of Passau: Leaving a City Hitler Called Home".
Rosmus writes in her book;
'The banks of the River Inn provided an idyllic setting for the children to play.
'In 1894, while playing tag with a group of other children, the way many children do in Passau to this day, Adolf fell into the river.
'The current was very strong and the water ice cold, flowing as it did straight from the mountains.
'Luckily for young Adolf, the son of the owner of the house where he lived was able to pull him out in time and so saved his life.'
She added: “In Passau everyone knows the story".
