    Here's one of the greatest thing about Mark. If this were a topic of a documentary on the History channel the documentary would have been 10 episodes long and 2 hours a piece. Mark is so concise and clear with his information presentation. There's no clickbait

    What a lovely woman his mother was.
    Once I heard that the DNA testing said it wasn't so, I went from 90% to 100% certain that this man is NOT Hitler's son. So, I am equally certain that his mother knew he was not Hitler's son.
    Yet, she started this with him after the world found out what a monster Hitler was. Not only did the boy have to live with that stigma for no reason, his wife walked out on him over it.
    "Gee, thanks Mom!"

    I have Linge's book. He mentions the above incident, but says that he left the room when Hitler wanted to talk with Himmler privately. At that time he did not know the topic of discussion. Afterwards "there was some talk of a woman and son." Linge says it was 37 years later when he learned the subjects' names in a journal article written by Werner Maser at the University of Salzburg in 1978.

When I’m reality, they’re proud of the history of slavery and need a more palatable excuse for that.

      Well, that's because Hitler was...well...a person. Not a demon ranting and raving at all hours but a deeply troubled and flawed human being. History presents him as this raving lunatic when in reality those who knew him, knew him as a quiet and charming person who loved animals and children. That doesn't mean he didn't do anything WRONG - he certainly played his part - but the reality is, a lot of things attributed to Hitler were carried out by those AROUND him, and he was just the public FACE of the party. Not all decisions made were even his idea. Some were, some weren't, and on some things he was puppeted by other, smarter men who knew how to manipulate his belief system and get him to make orders they wanted him to make.
      Hitler didn't start life out with an intention to "kill all the jews" - he BECAME that way over time due to his experiences, his (flawed and incorrect) information sources (remember, the internet did not exist then - you couldn't just look things up), racial beliefs of the time, the aftermath of Germany's loss in WWI and the need he felt for them to reclaim their dignity and power as a people - a LOT of things contributed to Hitler BECOMING the "monster" history remembers him as.
      But that's the easy answer. To simply say someone did what they did because they were evil, end of story. Nobody is born evil - in fact I'd argue that there is no true "good" or "evil" - only what we PERCEIVE to be "right" and "wrong" and therefore "good" or "evil" - but morality is not universal among all living things or even among humans. It's much harder to face the truth: Hitler was just another human like you and me and everyone else, and t hat we ALL have the POTENTIAL in us to go to that place and do dark, dark deeds if we allow ourselves to go down that path or to be lead down that path by our experiences and upbringing.
      I suggest the film Der Untergang - The Downfall - about Hitler's last days in the bunker. You probably saw a clip from it - it has become that famous meme where Hitler is ranting about this or that topic - "Hitler reacts to _____" - that's from that movie. But it's actually REALLY accurate according to people who really knew Hitler in terms of what he was actually like - so if you want to understand what the real Hitler was REALLY like in daily life, watch that movie.

    This raises a simpler and more fundamental question - it would be a great topic for Mr. Felton to look into. What governments, if any, are in possession of Hitler's DNA? I'm talking about 100% confirmed as Hitler's DNA. The tests mentioned in this video that were done by the journalists, etc, are completely invalid if we don't know 100% they had the correct DNA samples. A positive match confirming paternity is one thing, however a negative match can simply mean you don't have the correct DNA samples. If we don't know for certain the pedigree of the samples, then nothing has been proven either way.

      The issue is that in 1945, no one was properly collecting DNA samples because the theory was not developed enough. Biological material was being collected, but not with DNA identification in mind, so such samples either contained no viable DNA to start with or were improperly preserved (often stored in toxic chemicals and/or frequently contaminated), usually destroying the validity of the samples for DNA purposes.
      There are purported biological samples of Hitler, be it hair, blood, and other materials. The sourcing of these samples is questionable, because it was not like Hitler was giving away blood, ripped-out hair with root material, and other stuff to people on a regular basis. There is a story that the Soviets found someone they believed was Hitler, collected material from the body, but that is just a story as things stand, and even if they did find a body they thought was Hitler, it does not mean it was actually Hitler, just that they thought it was.

    There are a lot of interesting stories on this subject. Unfortunately, nobody has really followed up now that DNA is widely available. For example, it was apparently widely believed that Bormann oldest son was actually Hitlers child. He lived a long life but it was never tested. I would also point out that Hitler only liking younger women isn’t really accurate either, at least based on what I’ve read. Understandably, though, mainstream historians don’t go digging all that deep into this subject.

      Well if i would need to take educated guess i would say he would/had been interested very much in Leni Riefenstahl. Younger, for sure his type ( base on Braun and Raubal ) but he would Blomberg himself with this romance. And this is not something he could keep secret - Riefenstahl was no Braun that he could keep away from public. She was known to much to hide such fact.
      They were close but Leni past would undermine Hitler rule and position very much.
      We would think that person with such power should have no problem with finding spouse with status and past good enough but well as we see - this was not a case. There was a lot of women from nobility in NSDAP which would be perfect match for Hitler in terms of providing more and more legitimization. I guess he was not interested in it.
