Were There Any Hitler Offspring?

There has been a lot of speculation over the years as to whether Adolf Hitler had children. The facts state that he never fathered children. Hitler was very fond of children, and was actually named the Godparent to the children of some of his leading men. It’s hard to fathom that a man capable of such evil spent so much time with children, and even enjoyed them, but according to history, that’s the case. There were rumors for many years of a child born out of wedlock to a woman who had once been Hitler’s mistress, but nothing was ever proven.
 
There are also some reports that Hitler had his sperm frozen at some point in order to carry on his lineage in the event that anything should happen. Historically, however, the reports simply state that Hitler had no children. He is known to have some living relatives, including a nephew named William that moved to the U.S. and had three sons in the latter half of the 20th century. A lot of people tend to assume that anyone associated with Adolf Hitler is evil. The stigma of being related to someone of such prominence can be daunting, to say the least.
 
In 2002, a story was done on the documentary produced about the Hitler descendants, known as The Last of the Hitlers. Although these three brothers live normal lives in New York with no known ties to their heritage, they do share the dark secret of being the great nephews of Adolf Hitler. Everyone is fascinated by the fact that there may still be people alive today who are descendants of the same family that created such a horrible, evil dictator, which is why it is easy to find conspiracy theories and suggestive news out there.
 
When you are learning about the Holocaust, it is important that you are getting the facts and not just checking out bogus information that is thrown out there by anyone. The internet has become a great resource for Holocaust information, but because it is so anonymous, it has also become a great source of misinformation. Always check your facts and make sure that you are using credible sources to learn about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. Although many reports will speculate otherwise, Adolf Hitler had no direct descendants. This will remain the official answer until or unless someone is actually able to prove any of the theories that are out there today.
