Hitler's relatives

[Sam H.]

Who are Hitler's closest living relatives? Do any still use the Hitler name?

[Benjamin Fanjoy]

He had a nephew, William Patrick Hitler, who grew up in England, moved to America, and had three sons.

[Christian Ankerstjerne]

If I remember correctly, the curent decendents have agreed not to have any more children, so that the family wil die with the current generation...

If I remember correctly he had a sister named Paula, am I wrong?

Thanks! Tell me if there's anything specific that I should keep an eye for. I think 70+ dollars is a bit too much. Oops, we are about to destroy the thread here (sorry).

Is that a joke?? Are you serious??

[Schmauser]

just incase anyone wanted to know...

Hitler had a cousin called Maria Koppensteiner, but she was arrested by
the NKVD and perished in a Soviet prison.

Don't know their real names now, but there is actually a book at Amazon and Borders UK on the relatives of Hitler in the States.

One family member was quoted as saying no more kids, not all of them.

In fact, they have been suing to get royalties from the two books he wrote, his artwork returned to the family and other war bounty.

They have not been successful from what I remember.

[Panzermahn]

actually, i would like to know is there any other relatives of Hitler besides those from William patrick Hitler...i mean, according to John Toland bio of hitler, he mentioned that during WW2, hitler had 2 cousins in the eastern front...Leo raubal and Heinz Hitler......

Adolf Hitler had two half siblings from his father Alois Hitler Snr's second marriage - an older half brother Alois Jnr and an older half sister Angela.

Only one of Adolf's 6 full siblings - Paula - survived to adulthood. She died childless (we are told) in 1960.

Angela's daughter, also called Angela, was better known as Geli and died of gunshot wounds in Hitlers Munich flat.

Only Alois Jnr produced a surviving child with an irish girl, Brigid Dowling - William Patrick Hitler. Alois Jnr, Brigid and William Partick, lived in Liverpool until Alois & Brigid split, Alois Jnr returning to Germany (dies 1956) and Brigid and WP emigrating to the USA. WP served in the US Navy during the war (amidst much publicity as Hitler's (half-)nephew. After the war WP married a girl of German extraction - "Phyllis" - adopted a new name and produced four sons, one of whom dies in a car crash in 1989. Brigid (who has several different spellings of her first name in circulation - I use the one from her gravestone) died in 1969 and WP died in 1987.

The three remaining 'Hitler' sons - great half-nephews of Adolf - have, it is said (Gardner: "The Last of the Hitlers" 2001), to have vowed never to have children. The same source suggests that the eldest son (Alexander) has the middle name Adolf.

Finally, Kershaw (Hitler 1819-1936: Hubris,p9) suggests the existance of a ninth child of Alois Snr from a pre-marital liason. I have not yet been able to follow this up (though I today established there is a copy of tyhe original reference Kershaw uses (Older, "Hitler thePawn", 1936) in the British Library, but someone had it out today 8^(.

Heres the bottom 1/4 of the family tree I have constructed from several sources~:



If anyone has any more info to add (with cited sources please) than please let me know.

I'm also looking for some software that might render the above (and about another three sections) to a web page - i.e. as a tree.

Thank Ken!

Which perhaps Scott Smith will believe a third party now when I stated a couple of months ago that Hitler was having sexual liaison with his niece by blood which is incest even in 1920's.

If I remember it correctly he did not like my family tree I posted which is the exact of the one above.
