There is a post further down about Hitler's possible Jewish relatives. Part of that caught my attention and I started looking into a rumor I had heard about some time ago.
After some online investigating I have come up with some extra information about Hitler's great nephews living on Long Island.
These are the sons of William Patrick Hitler. As you may know William Patrick left Germany, came to America, fought for the USA against Germany in WW II, then settled down on Long Island, got married to a German woman named Phyllis.
They had four sons: Alexander, Howard (now deceased), Louis and Brian. Alexander is retired from the Northport VA Medical Center as a social worker. According to a former colleague he retired about two years ago. He lives in Northport, Long Island NY in his own home.
Louis and Brian own a landscaping business in East Patchogue Long Island NY and they live with their mother Phyllis in a small, log cabin style home in East Patchogue.
The big mystery to unravel was not much of what I have written above but this: After WWII William Patrick Hitler realized he needed to change the family name. Hitler, as common as it was in all of its many forms, was not the best last name to have in the USA. He changed the family name to Stuart-Houston.
Welcome to the forums. =) Interesting read, many questions isn't there. The Hitler rein is such a horrific part of history, yet an important one as no one should ever forgot the horrors that happened, the victims of the Holocaust and their families, nor the many that gave their lives in the war.
Perhaps the alleged book that brothers are writing will provide some answers and put to rest some speculations or affirm them? I say alleged as until the book is in print and/or a publisher announces it's intended release date etc, no way to know for certain if the book will be completed and/or published. I suppose they will need to provide some documentation or form of evidence for some of what they intend to tell, as going just by their word alone still leaves room for more speculations. I'm guessing there will be some who believe what they say and others who will refute it, in particular if their research has noted something different. Although why William Patrick opted to change the name to what he did may only be based on word alone.
Betrumka, you have really done your homework! I would like to read any book that the brothers are in the process of writing
I myself have a brother who is a psychotic racist, he is cruel and extremely violent. He will steal anything that is not nailed down and he lives in filth ,like an animal. He will only attack those who are weaker than himself, women, children and old or crippled men which makes him a coward also.
I would hate to think that I would be judged or haunted by others because of things that he has done or will do.
I feel kinda sorry for these guys, but at the same time I would love to hear what insights they had on Hitler.
