'Tyrant' Nazi father 'destroyed' Arnold Schwarzenegger's 24-year-old sibling, according to the actor.



 Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most famous and successful actors in Hollywood history. He has starred in iconic movies such as The Terminator, Predator, and Total Recall, and has also served as the governor of California from 2003 to 2011. But behind his remarkable achievements lies a dark and painful past that shaped his personality and ambition.


In his new Netflix documentary series, Arnold, the 75-year-old actor reveals the traumatic childhood he endured under his abusive father, Gustav Schwarzenegger, who was a member of the Nazi party during World War II. He also opens up about the tragic death of his older brother, Meinhard, who died in a drunk driving accident at the age of 24.


Gustav Schwarzenegger was a police officer who fought in the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles in history. He returned home to Austria after the war with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. He took out his frustration and anger on his wife and two sons, often beating them with belts and fists.


Arnold Schwarzenegger describes his father as a "tyrant" who made him and his brother compete against each other for everything, from breakfast to sports to schoolwork. He says his father favored his brother over him, because he resembled him more physically and shared his interest in soccer. Arnold, on the other hand, was more interested in bodybuilding and movies, which his father considered "feminine" and "stupid".


Arnold Schwarzenegger believes that his brother suffered more from their father's abuse than he did, because he was more sensitive and fragile by nature. He says his brother started drinking at an early age to cope with the pain and pressure. He also had a troubled marriage and a son who was born out of wedlock.


Arnold Schwarzenegger left Austria for America in 1968, when he was 21 years old. He pursued his dream of becoming a bodybuilder and a movie star, winning several Mr. Universe titles and landing his breakthrough role in Conan the Barbarian in 1982. He says he used his father's criticism and rejection as motivation to prove him wrong and succeed.


It was three years after he left Austria that he received a phone call from his mother, telling him that his brother had died. Meinhard had been driving drunk and crashed into a telephone pole, killing him instantly. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he felt guilty for not being there for his brother and for leaving him behind with their father.


He says he tried to reconcile with his father before he died in 1972, but they never had a meaningful conversation or closure. He says he forgave his father for what he did to him and his brother, but he never forgot.


Arnold Schwarzenegger says that his childhood experience taught him valuable lessons about resilience, perseverance, and self-reliance. He says that what does not kill you makes you stronger, but he also acknowledges that it can destroy you if you are not strong enough.


He says that his brother's death was a wake-up call for him to live life to the fullest and to make a positive impact on the world. He says he dedicated his life to helping others achieve their dreams and to making the world a better place.


He says he hopes that his documentary series will inspire others who have gone through similar hardships or challenges to overcome them and to pursue their passions. He says he wants to show people that no matter where you come from or what you have been through, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
