Ludwig Wittgenstein

:For other people of this name, see Wittgenstein (disambiguation)

Notes

1. It is a matter of controversy whether Hitler and Wittgenstein knew each other personally, and if so whether either had any memory of the other. Some school records have been posted on the University of Passau website http://www.phil.uni-passau.de/dlwg/ws07/15-1-97.txt. These include references to the texts studied by Wittgenstein as a student. Kimberley Cornish's The Jew of Linz explores the thesis that the two figures had a deeper and lifelong significance to each other (beyond their obvious knowledge of public figures).
