Adolph Hitler's Blood Relatives Are Alive and Well in New York State

Adolph Hitler never had kids, so we tend to take for granted the idea that no one alive is closely related to him. But historians have long known that he had a nephew who was born in Britain and moved to the United States.

Adolph Hitler never had kids, so we tend to take for granted the idea that no one alive is closely related to him. But historians have long known that he had a nephew who was born in Britain and moved to the United States. Alois Hitler, Jr., was Adolph's older half-brother (their common parent was Alois Sr). Alois Jr. — a waiter in Dublin — married an Irish woman, and, after moving to Liverpool, they had a son, William Patrick Hitler.

Pat, as he was called, moved to Germany as a young adult to take advantage of his uncle's rising political stature, but Adolph just gave him minor jobs and kept him out of the limelight. After being subtly threatened by Rudolph Hess to become a German citizen, and having gotten tired of being dissed by Adolph, Pat came to America in 1939 and went on a lecture tour around the US, denouncing his uncle. (For his part, Adolph referred to his nephew as "loathsome.") While World War II was raging, Pat joined the US Navy, so he could fight against Uncle Adolph. Afterwards, he changed his last name, and this is where the trail goes cold.

That is, until US-based British reporter David Gardner was assigned to track down and interview William Patrick. Originally given two weeks to file the story, Gardner realized that finding Hitler's long-lost nephew was tougher than it first appeared. He worked on the story during his spare time for several years, unearthing old news clippings, filing requests for government documents, interviewing possible relatives, and chasing a lot of dead ends.

He finally discovered that William Patrick had ended up in a small town in Long Island, New York. Pat had died in 1987, but Gardner showed up unannounced on the doorstep of his widow, Phyllis, who confirmed that her late husband was Adolph Hitler's nephew. She also mentioned that she and Pat had sons, but she quickly clammed up and asked Gardner to leave. The two never spoke again.

After more legwork, Gardner found that Pat and Phyllis produced four children, all sons. The eldest, born in 1949, is named Alexander Adolph. (Just why Pat would name his firstborn after his detested uncle is one of many mysteries still surrounding the Hitler kin.) Then came Louis in 1951, Howard (1957), and Brian (1965). Howard — a fraud investigator for the IRS — died in a car crash w 1989, and Louis and Brian continue to run a landscaping business in the small New York community. Alex lives in a larger Long Island city. He twice spoke to Gardner but didn't reveal very much, saying that the family's ancestry is "a pain in the ass." Alex said that his brothers made a pact never to have children, in order to spare their progeny the burden of being related to a monster. He denied having made such a vow himself, despite the fact that he is still childless.

Gardner sums it up: "Although there are some distant relations living equally quiet lives in Austria, the three American sons are the only descendants of the paternal line of the family. They are, truly, the last of the Hitlers."

You'd think they would have changed their last name by now

I suspect they did.

This made me wonder about other high-profile Nazis and their surviving families. I knew Himmler had a family, so I was curious about the story with his descendants. Got this:

So what about Goebbels, Göring, Heydrich (probably not, died fairly early), Frick, and others?

[Hammock Parties]

I'm descended from Germans. :hmmm:

I'm descended from Germans. :hmmm:Supposedly my family's distantly related to Otto von Bismarck, but nobody has ever shown me the proof. I think it's just something great-uncle Elmer told me so he could sit me on his lap and stroke my hair while he drank whiskey.

A little known fact, Louis and Brian started the landscaping company after many failed attempts at making and selling lampshades.

Now that you mention it, I had an uncle who invaded Russia once.

But he did like dogs, and built the Autobahn, so there's that. He also spurred the start of Volkswagon ("the people's car") after talking to his good buddy and Nazi-lover, Henry Ford (they sort of leave that part out when they talk about Ford, don't they).

Why would you try to dig this shit up? Dick move on the part of the reporter.

I was just barely intrigued enough to click. Now I'm intrigued enough to post that nobody really cares about Hitlers lost lost half nephews. They never knew the man. It's time to move on.

[big nasty kcnut]

It's not their fault they were not the monster. It's is not fair to persecute them for the sins of their uncle. In fact we should thank William Patrick Hitler for serving in the u.s. navy.

What if he discovered that they were trying to launch a putsch on long island?

Efforts have been undertaken. Yet, they were only able to launch a putz.

He did, however, get a cable tv show out of the deal.

Hitler had a full blooded sister who survived the war. No kids IIRC.

He was always calling for a blitz when he watched football.

This is exactly why you shouldn't gamble with a $20 bill in an Indian Casino. They don't like them. At all.

The thing that really separates Stalin from everybody else was the contempt he had for his own people. Hitler loved the German people (at least the ones who fit within his parameters). Stalin hated everybody, particularly the Russian people.

Even people in his circle. I was reading about one of his closest advisers, some guy they called the Poison Dwarf, or something like that. Stalin had him basically falsely accuse one high ranking official of treason, and kill him. Then the Poison Dwarf guy sentenced thousands of people to death and gulag on behalf of Stalin. Then, like a year later, Stalin decides he doesn't want him around and has him accused of treason and killed.

I don't really disagree with your post, but OTOH Stalin never went out of his way to intentionally obliterate a specific race from the planet. When the question is whether Hitler or Stalin had the least basic humanity in them, the only real answer is (c) neither seems to have had a drop.

Hitler had a dog that he loved too. Great, but who the hell cares? He was a complete monster, whether he gave his dog a bone once a week or not.

This,
Hitler always said that if there was one thing he admired about the Americans, it was how we dealt with the Native Americans.

So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

I read a biography of Stalin once, and I recall something about him putting his closest advisors into apartments inside the Kremlin, and there were never-proven rumors that the apartments had secret doors the occupants didn't know about. It made it very easy for someone to disappear.

It sounded like the mafia to some extent. If you got promoted you had to take it, but it then put you in a more likely position to be killed later if he decided he didn't like you. And his style was to always make people think they were on the knife edge of being liked or disliked.

Uh, I wasn't defending Hitler.

You know, its always intrigued me.

My father was born in Berlin and the family moved to the US right after the war and changed the last name in doing so.

I know it seems a bit foolish, but I also have the same birthday as Adolf Hitler. 4-20

Anyone know of a way to verify if the original last name Ive been told really is the truth?

Yes, tell me what it is and I'll let you know if it's the truth.

Yeah Hitler pretty much killed off the name Adolf and the tiny mustache. Only one that still rocks it is Michael Jordan...........which I don't really get.
