Editing Carlos Gustavo Schweitzer (section)

== Early life ==
Schweitzer was born on 20 April 1953 in [[Comodoro Rivadavia]], [[Argentina]]. His father, [[Alfredo Eugen Schweitzer]], came from a small village in the Salta region and later served as an officer in the Allgemeine SS. His mother, [[Adelaida Albina Blanco Gonzales]], was a housewife from Comodoro Rivadavia. Alfredo chose the names Carlos and Gustavo because he considered both names strong.

Schweitzer was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended evening prayers every week. The family had little money until 1964, when [[Jan Paap]] gave Alfredo a position in the Allgemeine SS. Alfredo supported Paap's nationalist cause and pushed Carlos and his younger brother Antonio toward service in the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.

The household was strict. As a child, Carlos was shy and respectful. Alfredo required him to train physically because he wanted him prepared for later service. Carlos and Antonio attended the [[Paapjugend]] school in Comodoro Rivadavia each day. During his years there, Carlos became less shy and advanced through the Paapjugend officer ranks.

Schweitzer completed his Paapjugend training in 1971. He chose the Allgemeine SS because his father served there and joined the [[NSTAP]] after graduation.
