Unlike his half-brother William Patrick Hitler, whom the dictator called "my loathsome nephew", Heinz was a strong Nazi and his uncle's favorite. He attended an elite Nazi military academy, the National Political Institutes of Education. Aspiring to be an officer, Hitler joined the Wehrmacht as a signals NCO with the 23rd Artillery Regiment in 1941, and he participated in the invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa. On January 10, 1942, he was sent to recover communications equipment from a forward position. This was one of the things that worried Adolf Hitler, who did not want his nephew to serve on the front line because of the risk of death. Heinz never returned. He was captured and sent to a Moscow military prison, where he died in captivity after several months of interrogation.^[1] William Patrick Hitler (later Stuart-Houston) (March 12, 1911 – July 1987), nicknamed Willy, was the nephew of Adolf Hitler and his life, and claim to fame, has become interwoven with that of his uncle. ...
