Hitler's only childhood friend, August Kubizek, wrote a book about Hitler. In one section, he recalls that Hitler had told him that the name Shicklgruber (which was his original name) "seemed to him so uncouth, so boorish, apart from being so clumsy and unpractical. He found 'Hiedler' . . . too soft, but 'Hitler' sounded nice and was easy to remember." The book which he wrote is The Young Hitler I Knew.
