There are only five living relatives of Adolf Hitler. And they are determined that there will be no more.
Peter Raubal, Heiner Hochegger and Alexander, Louis and Brian Stuart-Houston don’t seem to have much at first glance. Peter is an engineer, Alexander is a social worker and Louis and Brian run a garden design and maintenance business.
Hitler’s Living Family
Peter and Heiner live in Austria, while the Stuart-Houston brothers live in New York.
The only thing they have in common is that they are strangely related to the dictator.
Hitler’s parents, Klara and Alois.
Hitler was only married to his girlfriend, Eva Braun, for 45 minutes before killing himself.
They had no children.
Hitler’s younger sister Paula never married and died childless, and until 2004 the family was considered extinct.
But that was not the case.
The sad story of Geli Raubal
Adolf Hitler’s father, Alois, divorced when he married Hitler’s mother, Klara. He was previously married to a woman named Franni and had two children with her, Alois junior and Angela.
Alois Jr. changed his name after World War II. He had two sons, William and Heinrich, and William is the father of Alexander, Louis and Brian Stuart-Houston.
Hitler and Eva Braun were only married for 45 minutes.
Angela also married and had three children, Leo, Geli and Elfriede. Angela’s husband did not die until 1910, aged just 31. Angela did her best to support her children and in 1925 accepted her half-brother Adolf’s offer to become her governess. So she moved in with her children.
Geli was then 17 years old, and Hitler had his young niece on the brain. When he found out she had a boyfriend, he became enraged and forbade her from seeing her boyfriend again, or any other man.
Geli did not obey and when Hitler discovered that she was in a relationship with his private driver, he fired the driver and Geli became Hitler’s prisoner. She was not allowed to have any friends and was not allowed to leave the apartment unless accompanied by her uncle or someone he trusted.
Freeze
Geli wanted to escape and dreamed of studying singing in Vienna. But when Hitler found out, he strictly forbade him to do anything like that.
Then Geli committed suicide in 1931, aged just 23.
There have always been rumors that their relationship was closer, but no one really knows how far Hitler’s unnatural relationship with his aunt went.
Resemblance to a certain hated German
Leo and Elfriede got married. Leo had a son Peter and Elfriede had Heiner.
The Stuart-Houston boys were always aware of the family connection with Hitler, because Leo never hid it, but tried to take advantage of it.
Before the Nazis came to power and Hitler became a dictator, William repeatedly tried to get money and well-paying jobs from Hitler, but when it became clear that Germany was going to war, he didn’t want anything, moved to the United States. United States and changed its name.
William never spoke of his hated uncle in the United States, but many found him surprisingly similar to certain dictators in Germany.
Agreement on both sides of the Atlantic
Alexander, Louis and Brian were on the right track when they finally heard about the bloodline and they made a pact never to have children. The line of Adolf Hitler would end with them.
Only then did the cousins in the USA and Austria get to know each other.
Geli with her mother, Angela, Hitler’s half-sister.
And curiously, their Austrian cousins made the same deal. They never married or had children.
When Heiner’s relationship with Hitler came to light in 2004, the question arose whether the surviving parents were entitled to royalties from sales of Hitler’s biography Mein Kampf.
None of the five men said they wanted to see a dime, they just wanted to be left alone.
Brian didn’t take kindly to the press when it came to the family connection.
Adolf Hitler’s family is about to die. The youngest cousin is 48 years old and the oldest 86 years old.
Which must be considered significant considering that the dictator had in mind to create the “pure race” and went to great lengths to ensure that the “good Nazis” had as many children as possible.
But the five cousins ensured that no soul in the world would have a trace of Hitler’s blood when the last of them died.
