Hitler

On April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau

am Inn, Austria .

Adolf

‘

s father, Alois, was born in 1837. Alois was the

illegitimate son of Maria Anna Schicklgruber and her

unknown mate. Maria Schicklgruber was said to have

been employed as a cook in the household of a wealthy

Jewish family named Frankenberger. Some speculate

that Frankenburger

‘

s 19 year old son got Maria

pregnant. If that is true, Adolf Hitler

‘

s grandfather was

Jewish.

Maria

‘

s son was given her last name,

Schicklgruber. In 1876 he change his name to Alois

Hitler. If he had not, can you just imagine

thousands of Germans shouting

―

Heil

Schicklgruber!

‖

instead of

―

Heil Hitler!

‖

?

On April 30, 1945 Adolf committed suicide in his

Berlin bunker. He never knew who his

grandfather was.
