- Since the 1920s, rumours have abounded that Hitler was partly of Jewish ancestry. What is the truth of these rumours, why did Hitler repeatedly order investigations of his family tree, and what have historians and scientists discovered since the war about Hitler's heritage?
Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA, is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood.

A German Jewish Officer, during WWI, submitted the Iron Cross recommendation for the Austrian- born Bohemian Corporal. Likewise, it was Austrian Jewish doctor Eduard Bloch who attended to Klara’s cancer. For this, Adolf was very grateful to the Jewish doctor who at times waived his fees in seeing Adolf’s mother. After climbing to power in Germany in 1933, Adolf protected Bloch and allowed him to emigrate to the U.S.
He eventually moved to the Bronx and died before the war ended.
Would it be possible to extract DNA from Hitler's dad's remains (assuming there are any)?
So what?
@@ajg3768 Proves that “Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jews” was a historical myth, as this, and many other examples prove.
@@ajg3768 So it's interesting, if not a small bombshell, figuratively speaking. Hitler hated Jews and the idea that he might go out of his way to protect one is unheard of. I do however see why he did it, but I'm a little surprised Hitler was the kind of guy to keep him alive. He doesn't strike me as the loyal type
Have you ever noticed that Himmler and Emperor Hirohito look almost the same 🤣🤣
...I'll never be able to unsee that now wtf
Funny how people obsessed with phrenology and physiognomy never mention how ugly and weak most senior nazis were
You right. Hehe. This is a fact if every human being has 7 twins in the world
Strangely yes! 😂
Good point.
When I studied German back in the eighties in Peru, I had an Austrian teacher who was around 75 years old by that time. Once he told us that he had been a sergeant during Second World War and he even saw Hitler once in person. He said there was always a rumour about Hitler's origin. He once told us a joke about who was the ideal Aryan? Tall is Goebbels, Athletic as Goering and Blonde as Hitler.
Which side was he on?
@@AlchemistOfNirnroot dude, that's a rhetoric question
@@future9252 That makes no sense.
@@AlchemistOfNirnroot axis probably
right lol. history says things like..."The germans wanted to kill the jews and have everyone be blue eyed blonde haired" which... people dont know. German Jews. Are Aryans. A greaaatt number of them Are the Blonde Haired Blue Eyed Aryans lulz. There's a reason when Germans have other countries talk to them about the WWs. Germans just kind of stay quiet... there is difference of history in Deutschland vs other parts of the world. and they know if they tell the truth, people will just go insane. lulz.
Fascinating! One of you best yet.
I read one time that Mussolini believed Hitler's view of anti-Semitism was odd. From what I understand the Italian Fascists tolerated Jews as long as they were loyal to Italy and the Fascist. Apparently Mussolini didn't believe there where any "pure bred" humans in Europe.
Fascism along with liberal capitalism had the most genuine Jewish representation out of all other ideological positions.
Mussolini was an aryanist, but he didnt believe in ethnicities INSIDE race.
@Feo Savoyan I'm half black and half N"! 😂
Mussolini anti semitism was culture not ethnicity.
Watch TIK history on YT.
The Italian Fascist party boasted 100,000 Jews, about 30% of the Italian Jewery. Mussolini's lover was Jewish.
Mussolini only introduced antisemitic regulations late in his rule to appease Hitler. There were no concentration camps in Italy.
Hitler openly despised Fascism for its lack of racial awareness. Hitler was a race Socialist, Mussolini a Fascist that regarded ALL Italians as by default members of the trade union that was the nation-state of Italy. Fascia is Italian for trade union.
Only Mark Felton could take a question that one would expect to hear on a bad History Channel show and turn it into a fascinating, in-depth, accurate, and concise study. Major kudos for it.

My father who turns 90 this year - I am Austrian - once, told me about this rumour that had been going around in the area both - my grandfather's childhood home and Alois' and Adolf Hitler's - home was. My in 1899 born grandfather's parents' home was in the area Hitler grew up.
wow
That's fascinating! Thanks for sharing
What was the rumour?
How hitler become realy evil?
@@dannyawesome8759 Klara had to leave Vienna. She was working there as a house maid for a rich Jewish entrepreneur.
She came home pregnant and Alois married her nevertheless...now, think of this story whatever you want, but I think the rich guy fucked her and when she got pregnant she had to leave, because scandals and such...
Man i am hooked to his videos, man is a treasure of knowledge
It seems odd that Hitler would try to avoid the draft in 1913 when in fact other accounts stated that he was elated by the fact that war was coming and maybe make something out of his life since at that time it was in limbo. Anyway, kudos to Mark for his in-depth research and presentation.
It’s easy to construct such patriotic narratives after the fact.
he didnt want to fight for austria tho but rather for Germany because he was disgusted by the multiculturalism of the austrian hungarian empire
He wanted to fight for Germany not Austria-Hungary. Your comment suggests you've never read about his love of Germany during childhood. He would argue with his father about Germany vs. Austria-Hungary.
@@thebrocialist8300 It would be easier if you'd just read about his childhood to know he liked Germany not Austria-Hungary.
He grew up very close to Germany. Austria-Hungary was essentially falling apart in the years leading up to WW1, so that may have had something to do with it.
Maria Schicklgruber lived 1795-1847. The partial image purporting to be her in this video has very much the look of a circa 1880s studio photo - not the type of 1840s image made in Maria' lifetime at all. Ms. Schicklgruber was 44 years old when commercial portrait daguerreotypes were first introduced in 1839; and was dead eight years later at 52 - the woman in the picture looks at least a generation too young to be Maria - more a contemporary of Alois than his mother.
I agree. That cannot be Maria Schicklgruber. Firstly she looks be 20 to 30 in the picture, making that the earliest photograph in existence. Secondly it is clearly not a daguerreotype. And thirdly the style of hair and clothing is of the second half of the nineteenth century.
Very well observed.
@@billybones9117 Well observed.

The mystery deepens!
It's amazing how sympathizers and enemies have made him immortal for different reasons.

@@BrainFuck10 I'd argue the Industrial Revolution changed the modern world more than WW2.
I am of the ideology sexual national socialism were one of the founding pillars is to sexualize Hitler.
He was man among men
Only the (great) Germans could overcome Hitler but the de-nazification and laws in Germany made it impossible for germans to really reflect what happend back then which builded a myth and will become legend. Hitler was just an politican and ww1 veteran. Not a good idea demonize him cause this made him larger than life.
Your productions are fantastic! It makes me feel like I'm back in a good lecture at college. This is the kind of unbiased and direct history that we need more of in the world. I'll always regret that my health stopped me from completing my post-grad studies and becoming a professional historian.
He was definitely part Jewish but in order to establish it with certainly, all that has to be done, is to do DNA tests on his known living relatives.
There seems to be better evidence he was part-Czech which also raises a number of issues.
Theresa and Angela.
Honestly this video has really changed my perspective on this topic. Originally I’ve always viewed the ‘Hitler was Jewish’ argument as conspiratorial and frankly a bit of a joke used to show Nazi hypocrisy. However this video has shown evidence from not only historians but also senior Nazis. The fact that Hitlers own family, as well as senior Nazis like Himmler privately investigated Hitlers past really adds to the ‘Jewish Hitler’ argument.
I already knew about the section mentioning the ‘45 year old women’ in the Nuremberg Race laws and always saw it as strange, however now I know about Hitlers Grandmother it makes more sense why Hitler would include such a specific and coincidental detail.
I leave this video, really questioning what I believed before, and I now definitely see Hitler Jewish ancestry as a possibility.
Thank you for expanding my knowledge on this topic Mr Felton, I will defiantly look further into this Historical question myself.
The whole story still sounds sketchy.
Bro wrote a whole ass essay
Same here. A lot of it makes sense.

I live about 3 minutes away from Döllersheim in Lower Austria, where Hitlers family lived and some of my ancestors for example my great grandmother were also forced out of their homes because of Hitlers orders to build the military training area Döllersheim (today Allentsteig). First they were paid to leave and given a similar big farm somewhere else in Austria or modern day Czech Republic, but the longer they refused to leave, they less they got and the last people who left just got a few Reichsmark and my grandfather told me, that these Reichsmark were worth as much as two metal rakes. To this day they still do some tours in the long abandoned villages like Döllersheim and Äpfelgschwendt and i think Hitlers Grandmother is even buried in Döllersheim‘s graveyard. And lately i am very interested in this topic, because it is near my hometown and unfortunately people around my age don’t even know what happened almost right on their doorsteps.
Such government expropriation of land is common in all countries. To ascribe ulterior motives to it is typical of propaganda.
Propaganda is a fascinating subject and if you study it you will discover that most of what you have been told is actually just systematic brainwashing.

I have to say these videos are really interesting
Last year in 2022 when the Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov mentioned that Hitler was part Jewish, there was widespread outrage about it, especially from Israel. Putin ended apologizing to them too. But as this video and the DNA tests of Hitler's family members show, they did indeed have DNA ancestry that's also found among Jewish peoples.
Certainly had Jewish attributes…
I don’t think Lavrov apologized though. I also think that Hitler had Jewish DNA
@@jixuscrixus1967 He was pretty good with the economy, so...
@@arigoldberg3126 Hyperinflation in Germany predated Hitler and his national socialist government.
Edit: @arigoldberg3126 has left the chat….
Wrong, we've seen this news story before. Hitler's DNA is also found in Greece and Macdeonia, its not an exclusively Jewish DNA.
We lived as neighbors for centuries. Catholics, Protestants, Jews. If you dig deep enough you'll find out that there are quite a number of Germans and Austrians with Jewish ancestors.
With the forced conversions by chrisitians and Muslims througout the centuries I would say 2/3 of today's christian and Muslim have some Jewish ancestry.....the irony of those that hate us.
It doesn't matter if Hitler has Jewish DNA, German society is patrilinneal, meaning descent is from the fathers line, so long as his father's line is preserved and German, doesn't matter how many Jews he is descend from, same way that matrilineal Ashkenazim do not claim a half breed with a Jewish father, Germans do not claim a half breed with a Jewish father.
But they are not really jewish, their DNA is Khazar and Eastern European mostly.
@@TolerantAcceptingModernCommuni Not really correct. Whene it comes to the cititzenship/passport: Since the reform of the German citizenship law in 1953 the maternal and paternal line is considered the same.
During Nazi rule: Before 1945 the infamous Nürnberger Gesetze of 1935 were in force (no difference if Jewish mother or father there).
@@Eunegin23
Answer me this, is Germanic culture patrilinneal or matrilineal?
My Jewish friend always said this. He said “nobody hates a jew more than other jews”
Karl Marx springs to mind.
So which jew did your gf talk about? Hitler or Selenski?
That is why, Jews versus Jews is the solution. Just as Putin send the traitorous Prigozhin against Zelensky. That how history repeat.
disgusting comment by your friend. and utterly false

My grand father William Reid Henderson was stationed in Karlsruhe Germany in 1964 as a staff SGt American Army. He later became a Cheif Warrant Officer before Vietnam. My grandmother was Ruth Buchannan Henderson
You never disappoint, Dr. Felton! Thanks for a very engaging treatment of this interesting question!
Cause hes the MAN
Most people here are just stupid.
1) National socialism has nothing to do with jews or the hatred of jews.
2) The problem with jews is a separate issue that Hitler explained in his book.
3) and no, Hitler was not jewish. How anyone can still watch videos about this dumb topic and debate the issue just shows how ill informed you are.
4) But KARL MARX was jewish and many Bolsheviks in russia were jewish and most people who promoted pornografy and degeneracy in europe were jewish.
Always fantastic!
Thanks!
Always a revelation where Prof Felton's work is involved.
My father was at a Hitler speech. He said one of his fellow Poles behind said "You know his father was a jew". He said that it was amazing how he captivated the Germans .
@@carstenmanz302what is this schizophrenic ramblings. the names of those officials arent typically jewish, they are typical german name (and ashkenazi jewish names are derived from german words such as berg, mann etc…)

And finally we were also the first to point the people on any large scale to a danger which insinuated itself into our midst - a danger which millions failed to realize and which will nonetheless lead us all into ruin - the Jewish danger. And today people are saying yet again that we were 'agitators.' I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti-Semite. I SAY: MY FEELING AS A CHRISTIAN POINTS ME TO MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AS A FIGHTER. IT POINTS ME TO THE MAN WHO ONCE IN LONELINESS, SURROUNDED ONLY BY A FEW FOLLOWERS, RECOGNIZED THESE JEWS FOR WHAT THEY WERE AND SUMMONED MEN TO THE FIGHT AGAINST THEM AND WHO, GOD'S TRUTH! WAS GREATEST NOT AS SUFFERER BUT AS FIGHTER. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and of adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before - the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. And as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago - a civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people.
Then indeed when Rome collapsed there were endless streams of new German bands flowing into the Empire from the North; but, if Germany collapses today, who is there to come after us? German blood upon this earth is on the way to gradual exhaustion unless we pull ourselves together and make ourselves free!
And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress which daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see it work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week it has only for its wage wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people is plundered and exploited.
And through the distress there is no doubt that the people has been aroused. Externally perhaps apathetic, but within there is ferment. And many may say, 'It is an accursed crime to stir up passions in the people.' And then I say to myself: Passion is already stirred through the rising tide of distress, and one day this passion will break out in one way or another: AND NOW I WOULD ASK THOSE WHO TODAY CALL US 'AGITATORS': 'WHAT THEN HAVE YOU TO GIVE TO THE PEOPLE AS A FAITH TO WHICH IT MIGHT CLING?'
Nothing at all, for you yourselves have no faith in your own prescriptions.
That is the mightiest thing which our Movement must create: for these widespread, seeking and straying masses a new Faith which will not fail them in this hour of confusion, to which they can pledge themselves, on which they can build so that they may at least find once again a place which may bring calm to their hearts.
@@hnys7976 My father is dead so I cannot ask him. He told me that he was in a group of Poles and Hitler mesmerized the German people. He said that he held them in his hand. I know no more. It must have been early on as my father escaped when he got to France via Holland.
Absolutely fascinating, and brilliant work. A complex little subject. You would think that, given it's the male line that the Y DNA would be like a smoking gun as regards proving or disproving it. Of course, there could be an intersection further back in the family tree too.
Uhm, no...
It's a tad bit more complicated than that I'm afraid...
Men get 1 X chromosome from their mothers and can do matrilineal tests to see on that side of the family, however... You do not know exactly which one (mom has 2, X and X, so 50% each likely) until further tests from others in the family tree can shed light on the possibilities of whom (which grandmother on the mothers side). Hence Jewish is a bit more complicated than most other ethnic groups.
@@Vifnis But this is the male line we're talking about, grandfather through father to son. If Hitler was a direct descendant of that man it should be clear enough.
Dr Felton, if a Nobel prize for history would exist, you should win it.
It is not that there was no answer in this video, but rather the process of gaining the knowledge to know how unclear the history really is. Thank you so much Dr. Felton. When more research comes up about incoming DNA, please keep us posted.
The work of a historian is disproportionately research, maybe 75 percent of the time. That last 25 percent is spent creating a thesis and analyzing it.
You can spend weeks or months trying to track down some scrap of information that ultimately proves superfluous-if you don’t enjoy the process, you’d have to switch careers 😂
The jews want to cover this truth up
He was human.
How embarrassing is that?
What fascinates me most about Hitler is how can someone get so many people to do so many horrible things when I can't even get my own family to work together to do something good.
Because he spoke to something inside of the people at the time.
Because they were desperate due to how unimaginably horrific post Versailles treaty Germany was and because they had a large amount rage desperate for a target.

Thank you.
My mother and I started genealogical work decades ago. With all the wars and people displaced, is anyone pure anything?
The Romans went to northern Germany and the British Isles. The Germanic peoples to the Mediterranean, the Huns to France and Italy, the Muslims to France, Austria, Poland, etc., etc., etc.
There may be isolated peoples who are pure, but with so much lost history, it seems not very likely.
The Icelanders are part-Celtic, the Faroese are said to have ancestors from the Moorish pirates who raided them. The Scottish islands and north of Scandinavia all have similar issues.
Considering how the Nazis felt about mental and physical disabilities, I believe Hitler was more concerned about that being in his family history than Judaism, just my opinion
It's funny how so few of the top Nazis embodied the "Tom of Finland" aesthetic of their own propaganda.
@@faithlesshound5621 maybe because thats mostly post war propaganda
It was an ideal to strive for. No go in the corner and smoke a joint
@@Castragroup Then why did so many Nazi leaders fail to embody this ideal?
Yes but they were 'defectives' not 'great conspirators' threatening to dismantle civilisation.
One of your most fascinating videos yet, thank you again for your phenomenal content mr Felton!
Dr. Felton, you, sir, are one of the best at finding out the truth of history. I recall that in the 1970s it was taken for granted by historians that Hitler was, in fact, part Jewish through his father. Personally, I believe it. And, if that is the case, it is at least plausible that Hitler was subconsciously getting retribution against his father for that man's sins when he decided to eradicate as many Jews as possible.
Fully jewish I assume, a Marrano, he wanted not eradicate jews, he worked for the Sios to create Israel by forcing jews out of Europe and to create victimhood for them, he treated jews better than germans opposing him.

Wouldn’t surprise me, many Nazis had Jewish blood. One even achieved the rank of Field Marshal. The high ranking Nazis not only decided which races were inferior, but which individuals belonged to those races.

I really enjoy these historic and really well researched videos. They are so well done. I do have a question though, I can’t imagine why Himmler would write Bormann anything negative about Hitler‘s family. In a heartbeat, Borman would use it against Himmler in his quest for power. I just question did that letter really ever happen?
I’ve always been curious about this claim. Excellent video!

Excellent Dr. Felton. Always look forward to your videos.
Well done, sir. I would only add that the issue of Hitler's lineage is still so polarizing that it would be difficult to find scientists (who are, after all, fallible human beings) who would give the evidence the fair trial it deserves. I really hope I'm wrong about this, but I fear this will only be made plain at the end of days.
An interesting but well known phenomenon was seen when Glocks were popular for police in the US. It happened all across the country, different examiners, different labs, literally everywhere.
Science just had a hell of a time determining what gun fired a bullet when police were involved in something criminal. The same in no way held true when a Glock handgun was fired by a criminal. There was just an unbelievable discrepancy so wide only juries could be dumb enough to buy it.
The statistics on it are so bad and so obvious Glock literally changed the rifling on their latest handguns.
A way different situation than what they put on crime shows. I figure in the future it will be used to laugh at us for being so stupid. Something pointed out to kids learning to show how easily bias effects scientific results even in widespread labs.
On Hitler's ancestry I believe he still has living relatives who could do DNA tests.
I've never understood lying about the Nazis. They were literally Nazis and in every way bad enough to just stick to the truth about. Lying about them also makes it very hard for future generations to learn and know what to watch out for.

Another absolutely fascinating video from Dr. Felton!
Haplopgroup E1b1b is postulated to have originated in East Africa around 26,000 years ago and spread to Europe and the middle-east 26 millenniums before Jews were invented. It's found in 5-10% of Austrians today and is all over Europe with the exception of North and NorthWest Ireland and far North Scotland. It simply means 26,000 years ago there was a common ancestor group located in East Africa who were certainly not Africans as we see them today. They migrated to Europe and the Middle East
Why do you say they were certainly not Africans as we see them today? 26,000 years subsisting on the steppes of the Caucasus would definitely alter their appearance due to the harshness and reduced sunlight of the region.

Great video as always.
this would be the craziest plot twist in history
There have been rumours about this going back decades. Probably a century if one considers he first started coming to prominence in the twenties.
Its said the majority of buyers in Vienna for his watercolours were Jewish after about 1911. But his paintings weren't actually much good - he couldnt paint people convincingly, was turned down twice by the Academy of Fine arts in Vienna, so it's hard to see quite why these otherwise shrewd people were backing him, outside of an obligation to do so. Norman Mailer's fine novel The Castle In the Forest delves into the man's early childhood in a most entertaining way, for those interested.
A good way to ASSIST a struggling community member...yeah it makes sence..
I don't think it's fair to say Hitler "dodged the draft in Austria", yes he did make efforts to avoid being drafted in the Austrian army, but not out of cowardice, he wanted to fight in the German army and he personally petitioned the royal in charge of the Bavarian army, I forget his name but I'm fairly sure you talked about this on your own channel. He volunteered to fight and did so enthusiastically, winning several medals for bravery. It just seems disingenuous to frame his dodging of the Austrian draft as an act of cowardice, he and many Germans at the time felt a strong dislike for Austria due to its multicultural nature.
@@Rory695 yes. Did you read what I said? He wasn't afraid to fight he just didn't want to fight for Austria. Is your reading comprehension not very good?

Bit of both. Not a unique issue either. Hinduism and Shinto have it for example. Other minoritiy Middle Eastern religions like Zoroastrians/Parsees, Druze, Yazidis, Mandaeans....
You even have this issue in Glasgow where Irish moved in. A number of the football fans there think of themselves as Catholic or Protestant even though many of them have barely ever darkened the door of a church, and aren't believers in Christ.
There was always speculation among historians that Hitler had Jewish ancestors. Werner Maser's 1978 book devoted pages trying to unravel the mystery. An interesting picture in the book was a grave in a Jewish cemetery of an "Adolph Hittler" who died in the 1880s. The fact that a DNA test performed in recent times hints at Azkhenazi Jewish ancestors is intriguing, to say the least.
It's likely that most people in central europe have some Jewish ancestry
Hitler even hired Jewish soldiers like Werner Goldberg for example. More evidence to corroborate this theory
Of course, it’s always just been speculation. And-more importantly, I think-Shitler would not have known even if he did
speculation among ((historians))
Moe Howsrd..you nazty spy
I was just finishing watching your previous video about your books and now I see this popping up in my feed, can't wait to hear about this subject! Keep up the amazing work Dr. Felton!
Does anyone know why the family name was changed from Hiedler to Hitler.?
Local variants. Nothing unusual about it. It happens with many surnames.
I have Scottish and Irish roots and it is very common for names to produce variants here. Even as simple as the Mac vs Mc thing (my father's middle name appears in two different spellings on his birth certificate and his death certificate)
Everything done in the dark comes out in the light……
This was really interesting Dr. Felton.
Thank you!
The Three Stooges made fun of Hitler in their comedy skits by referring to him only as Schicklgruber.
That’s originally heard the term!!!
And as a Stooge fan, im proud to say they were the FIRST Americans to lampoon Hitler in public!
@@MonstroLab I take my hat off for the Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin, Benny Hill, and Mel Brooks for making fun of the Little Corporal.
@@Netseer2000 all master comedians and i love them all but it was the Three Stooges that were FIRST to lampoon the "bohemian corporal" Adolph Hitler at a time when a millions of Americans still thought he was a great leader.
Hitler loved watching American films.
Good topic.
That was very interesting and educational
Endlessly fascinating, Mr. Felton. Thanks for what you do.
A friendly video suggestion Mark. I think it would be nice to make some videos about how some prominent civilians survived the Nazis, other fascists, and communists. For example, Ettore Bugatti saved his cars from being looted by the Nazis by bricking them up in walls for the duration of Nazi occupation of France. And Alexander Solzhenitsyn, while serving as a captain in the Red Army during World War II, was arrested by the SMERSH and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag and then internal exile for criticizing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in a private letter.
Hadn't heard about Bugatti, great story. Sadly, Solzhenitsyn's story is not atypical.
Who is the guy at 7:46 with the scar ?
That would explain a lot of his character
Truly exceptional content. Thank you Mark Felton for all that you do
No I think it's terrible that Hitler has been talked about
Mark Felton isn't afraid of being canceled with a title like that! 👍👍
You had better download the video before the 4th Reich comes to power.
@@justanotherguy469? So Jews are going to be persecuted again?
Wow. Very educative
Fascinating, ive always been kinda unsure of his family, i know alois, i heard he had brothers and sisters, but they died, where do the cousins come from? did alois have a brother from the hittler man? i would love to see a complete family tree video, since i do remember multiple videos from you about the family, including some alive ones today, but i cant get a clear total picture from 1837 to now.
And just why would you be so interested in history of that perverse , despicable , disgusting excuse for a human being ?
Wunderbar ... Brilliantly put together video, as to be expected with Mark as usual 🇩🇪😎
Usually WWII history attracts many of a NeoNazi bent, at least on the internet, but today's topic clearly triggers a lot of them. It's good to poke the bear occasionally.
Been to Graz many times. Beautiful town.
please tell me somebody looked into himmlers background as well...?!!!
I had seen a documentary in which some historians discovered part of Hiltler's family tree had a Jewish last name. Also in the same documentary, part of the family tree is known for mental illness. Some documents survive of one relative from the mentally ill part of the family who was sent to a mental asylum for those unfit for life. The director of that asylum was the boyfriend of one of Hitler's sisters. When the sister had asked Adolph for permission to get married he had a tirade and sent the director to the Eastern Front to fight on the frontlines. The director was captured alive by the Russians knowing who he was.
Sounds like typical propaganda to me.
@@RabbitFighter666 well Mexicans only go so far back, to the Spanish invasion of present day Mexico. They aren't native to that land.
@Rabbit Fighter only americans could see "Gonzales" and think "ah yes, mexican". There is an entire world out there
@@sac7404 There are thousands of people in India with the surname Gonzales or Gonsalves.
@@faithlesshound5621 from Portuguese colonization
As always a really interesting video Mark. Keep them coming. :-)
Fascinating
Without research I came to this conclusion looking at him from a psychological perspective
39 of his alive closest relatives all have ashkenzy rabbinical dna and he is not an ashkenazy rabbi ??? where is this scientific dna research recorded, is there a pdf file for that matter somewhere and if yes, what is the url adress ?
Very thorough and well documented. Thank you, sir.
Oh boy, this one's gonna go over well..
😂😂
Ihre Filme Mark Felton' gehören in die Schulen Danke.
SS General Karl Wolff was another source of the Hitler descent from the Frankenbergers story! I first heard of this from a book containing an interview with Karl Wolff!
The most informative and thoroughly investigated piece on this subject I have seen yet. Thank you, sir, for your hard work and diligence. You have certainly earned your reputation as a valued historian.
Firstly I think in all situations the truth is paramount, and is more important than emotion. As a Jewish man myself I can say that the thought of Hitler being part Jewish is anxiety enducing. Not least because of Russia's recent claim about the 'Evil Jew Nazi Zelensky' . However truth is paramount, even if I don't like it. The real possibility that Hitler was a quarter Jewish may explain why in the Nurenberg laws, quarter Jews were considered Aryan.
Oh please, I can find better things to feel anxious about. And I'm not bothered about what the Russians think about Zelensky. Please,you sound neurotic
Get a grip. There is absolutely no correlation between the hypothesis that Hitler had Jewish ancestry and that Zelensky is a Jew with Nazi inclinations. This delusional Russian propaganda. Period.
There is no real evidence that Adolf Hitler had any Jewish ancestry. The claim was conclusively debunked with DNA in 2008 but Felton skipped past that.
The "evil Jew Zelinsky" is not a Nazi, and Hitler was not Jewish. They belong to different cultures and have different morals. Have no fear, we see what you contribute to this world and how you treat other peoples. The treatment of the Palestinian people and the corrupt international banking system is proof enough. We have 2000 years of experience to look at.
Zelensky is a confirmed Jew, and Russia likes calling people Nazi's because they are, and have been, jew-controlled since 1918. More White Christians dying in Europe for two sides dancing to Hava Nagaila.
Years ago I used to work for a national company in the call centre. When bored we used to put in random words in the address book of customers…
Hitlers family bought quite a lot of electricals in Liverpool!
What a respectable ending. A perhaps is honest, and I appreciate that.
Dr. Felton, you never fall short on fascinating your audience, I never stop learning from you!
@Kyle Korona So Hitler is 100% Arian?
Aryan is also theosophical root race.
