Biography

William Patrick Hitler was the only son of Alois Hitler, Jr., and his Irish-born wife Bridget Dowling. They had met in Dublin when Alois was living there in 1909, and eloped to Liverpool where William was born in 1911. Hitler's nephew is recalled by elderly former neighbors, and in Liverpool folklore variously as "Billy" or "Paddy" Hitler. The family lived in a flat at 102 Upper Stanhope Street, which was destroyed, ironically, in the last German air raid of the Liverpool Blitz on January 10, 1942. It has remained a bomb site ever since. Dowling wrote a manuscript called My Brother-in-Law Adolf, in which she claimed Adolf Hitler had moved to Liverpool with her and Alois from November 1912 to April 1913, in order to dodge conscription in Austria. The story has been popular, but is dismissed by most historians as fanciful. WGS-84 (GPS) Coordinates: 53. ... The Liverpool Blitz was the heavy and sustained bombing of the city of Liverpool in the United Kingdom during the Second World War. ...

Year 1913 (MCMXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar). ...

In 1914 Alois returned to Germany, but Bridget refused to join him, as he had become violent. Unable to reconnect due to the outbreak of World War I, Alois abandoned the family, leaving William to be raised by his mother. He remarried, bigamously, but re-established contact in the mid-1920s when he wrote to Bridget asking her to send William to Weimar Republic Germany for a visit. She finally agreed in 1929, when William was 18. (Alois had another son with his German wife, Heinz Hitler, who, in contrast to his cynical half-brother, became a true-believing Nazi and died in Soviet captivity.)

In 1933, William Patrick Hitler returned to Nazi Germany in an attempt to benefit from his uncle's rise to power. His uncle found him a job in a bank. Later, he worked at the Opel car factory and then as a car salesman. Unsatisfied, William Patrick persisted in asking his uncle for a better job, and there were rumors he might sell embarrassing stories about the family to the press if he did not receive one; among the rumors would have been his father's bigamous marriage. In 1938, Adolf asked William to relinquish his British citizenship in exchange for a high-ranking job. Fearing a trap, William panicked and fled Germany. Returning to London he wrote an article for Look magazine titled "Why I Hate my Uncle". Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, commonly refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the firm control of the totalitarian and fascist ideology of the Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as dictator. ...

In 1939, William and his mother went to the United States on a lecture tour on the invitation of William Randolph Hearst, and were stranded there when World War II broke out. William joined the United States Navy in 1944; when he went to the draft office and introduced himself, the recruiting officer replied, "Glad to see you Hitler, my name's Hess."

One of his four sons, Howard, died in an automobile accident in 1989^[2] without having had any children, leaving his other sons (Alexander Adolf, Louis and Brian) as the last three members of Adolf Hitler's paternal bloodline. It has been said that these three have vowed not to have children themselves^[3], but Alex has stated that he knows of no such pact, and that if it had been made, it was made by the other two brothers without his involvement. ^[4]

Despite his public disapproval of his uncle's ideology, not only did William Patrick give his eldest son (born in 1949) the middle name of Adolf, but his adopted name Stuart-Houston is remarkably similar to that of famous British anti-Semitic ideologist Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
