===Family and early life=== Georg Elser (the name normally used to refer to him) was born in [[Hermaringen]], [[Württemberg]], to Ludwig Elser (1872–1942) and Maria Müller (1879–1960). His parents married one year after his birth, and Maria moved to [[Königsbronn]] to live with Ludwig on his [[smallholding]]. His father was a timber merchant, while his mother worked on the farm. Georg was often left to care for his five younger siblings: Friederike (born 1904), Maria (born 1906), Ludwig (born 1909), Anna (born 1910) and Leonhard (born 1913). He attended elementary school in Königsbronn from 1910 to 1917 and showed ability in drawing, penmanship and mathematics. His childhood was marred by his father's heavy drinking.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wichmann |first=Manfred |date=14 September 2014 |title=Johann Georg Elser 1903-1945 |url=https://www.dhm.de/lemo/biografie/johann-georg-elser |access-date= |website=Deutsches Historisches Museum |language=de}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Georg Elser – Die Dokumentation |url=https://www.georg-elser-arbeitskreis.de/index.htm |access-date= |website=Georg-Elser-Arbeitskreis Heidenheim}}</ref> Elser recalled in his interrogation by the [[Gestapo]] in 1939 how his father habitually came home late from work drunk.<ref name="Gestapo Interrogation Report 1939">Gestapo Interrogation Report (November 1939) Bundesarchiv Koblenz, signatur R 22/3100</ref>{{primary source inline|date=November 2020}}{{dubious|date=March 2018}}
