SOME HITLERS ARE STILL ALIVE BUT READY TO END THEIR BLOODLINE
What ever happened To Adolf Hitler’s family? There are only five living members of the Hitler family, and if they have their way, the family bloodline will stop with them.
Peter Raubal, Heiner Hochegger, and Alexander, Louis, and Brian Stuart-Houston are all very different men. Peter Raubat was an engineer; Alexander Stuart-Houston was a social worker. Louis and Brian Stuart-Houston run a landscaping business. Information on Heiner Hochnegger is almost non-existent, no doubt by design.
Peter and Heiner live in Austria, while the three Stuart-Houston brothers live on Long Island, a few blocks from each other.
It would seem the five men have nothing in common, and apart from one thing, they really do not. But, that one thing is a big one.
They are the only remaining members of Adolf Hitler’s bloodline.
And they are determined to be the last.
Adolf Hitler was only married to Eva Braun for 45 minutes before his suicide, and his sister Paula never married. Apart from rumors of Adolf’s having an illegitimate child with a French teenager, they both died childless, leading many to believe for a long time that the horrible “Hitler gene” had died with them.
However, historians discovered that, though the Hitler family had been small, five Hitler descendants were still alive.
Before Adolf’s father, Alois, married his mother, Klara, he had been married to a woman named Franni. With Franni, Alois had two children, Alois Jr. and Angela.
Alois Hitler, Jr. quickly changed his name after the war and had two children, William and Heinrich. William is the living Stuart-Houston boys’ father.
Angela married and had three children, Leo, Geli, and Elfriede. Geli was once known for her long and possibly romantic relationship with her half-uncle and for her resulting suicide at 23.
Leo and Elfriede each married, and each had boys. Peter was born to Leo and Heiner to Elfriede.
The Stuart-Houston boys, when they were children, were told about their shameful ancestry. For instance, their father William Hitler had been called “Willy,” and he had definitely not been liked by Uncle Adolf Hitler, who called him “my loathsome nephew.”
As a child, the “loathsome nephew” attempted to make a profit from his famous uncle, always coaxing him for money and for valuable employment opportunities. However, as the Second World War approached and his Uncle Adolf’s true intentions began to reveal themselves, Willy moved to America. After the war, he changed his name. He no longer felt any desire to be associated with Adolf Hitler.
William moved to Long Island, married and raised four sons, one of whom died in a car accident. Their neighbors remember the family as “all-American,” but there are some who remember Willy as looking just a little too much like his infamous Uncle Adolf. The boys have noted that their father’s family connections were rarely discussed with outsiders.
As soon as they found out about their Hitler family history, the three boys made a pact. None of them would ever have children, and the family line would end with them. It seems that the other Hitler descendants, their cousins in Austria, felt the same way.
Both Peter Raubal and Heiner Hochegger have never married and have no children. Nor do they plan to do so. They have no interest in continuing the legacy of their great-uncle any more than the three Stuart-Houston brothers do.
When Heiner’s identity was revealed in 2004, there was a question of whether he and the other descendants could receive royalties from Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf. However, he and all of the living heirs declared that they wanted no part of that money.
“Yes, I know the whole story about the Hitler inheritance,” Peter told a German newspaper. “But I don’t want to have anything to do with it. I will not do anything about it. I only want to be left alone.”
That feeling is one that all five of Adolf Hitler’s descendants share. So, it seems that the last of the Hitler family will soon die out. The youngest of the five is 48, and the oldest is 86. By the next century, there will not be a living member of the Hitler bloodline left. Thank God!
