Gustav Schwarzenegger

Gustav Schwarzenegger was a member of the Nazi Party. Participated in The battle of Stalingrad, where it was filled up with the rubble of the building:

He spent three days under rubble and rubble, and in addition On top of that, they lost the war. They went home so depressed. Austria was a country of broken people.



Perhaps he (father) suffered from post-traumatic disorder and depression, Arnold suggests.

He screamed at three in the morning and we woke up and our hearts pounded because we knew what it meant. He could at any moment hit my mother or go crazy. So it was strange violence.



The upbringing we had was good for someone like me, who was very strong and determined inside, but Meinhard was more fragile, - recalls Arnold.

And he adds that his older brother began to drink heavily and crashed while drinking in a car precisely because of the negative influence of his father. The exuberant parent later died of a stroke in 1972. He was 65 years old.



But the past of the father did not prevent Schwarzenegger from becoming what he is. became. Perhaps because he denied it in every possible way.
