Early Life
Born the son of a miner in Hindenburg (Zabrze), Province of Upper Silesia, Kroll was the 6th of 9 children. He was a weak child and used to wet the bed. His education was poor, only reaching Grade 3 (psychiatrists found he had an IQ of 76).
After the end of World War II, in which his father had become a prisoner of war, Kroll's family moved to North Rhine-Westphalia.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892?)
