HOW IT ALL BEGAN<br />

Rudolf J. Strutz<br />

Photographer and Author<br />

To produce an e-book about <strong>Arnold</strong> <strong>Schwarzenegger</strong><br />

is a major undertaking. When this project<br />

started to first gain shape, the plan was to only describe<br />

the museum, which is housed in <strong>Arnold</strong>'s<br />

childhood home. After having taken <strong>all</strong> the necessary<br />

pictures, the new management of the museum<br />

prohib<strong>it</strong>ed me to publish these pictures.<br />

But because "qu<strong>it</strong>ting" is not a word that is part of<br />

my vocabulary, I extended my research and am<br />

now proud to present to you an e-book that documents<br />

the many important stages of the young <strong>Arnold</strong><br />

<strong>Schwarzenegger</strong>.<br />

Many contemporary w<strong>it</strong>nesses have helped me and<br />

supplied me w<strong>it</strong>h material, advice and help in this<br />

project. This resulted in a compendium of <strong>Arnold</strong><br />

<strong>Schwarzenegger</strong>'s life "before the USA." In the past<br />

months I have had the chance to meet countless<br />

impressive people and to hear many stories about<br />

the greatest bodybuilder of <strong>all</strong> times.<br />

This e-book is not supposed to be a biography of<br />

the great Styrian. "How <strong>it</strong> <strong>all</strong> <strong>began</strong>" documents the<br />

years before <strong>Arnold</strong>'s move to the Un<strong>it</strong>ed States.<br />

This e-book will help fans of <strong>Arnold</strong> <strong>Schwarzenegger</strong><br />

to retrace his steps in Austria, Germany and<br />

Great Br<strong>it</strong>ain. The pictures s<strong>how</strong> a young <strong>Arnold</strong><br />

w<strong>it</strong>h many of his friends and supporters.<br />

At this point I want to send warmest thanks to <strong>all</strong><br />

friends, who supported me in the completion of this<br />

project.<br />
