Hitler 'had Jewish and African roots', DNA tests show

Saliva samples taken from 39 relatives of the Nazi leader show he may have had biological links to the “subhuman” races that he tried to exterminate during the Holocaust.
Jean-Paul Mulders, a Belgian journalist, and Marc Vermeeren, a historian, tracked down the Fuhrer’s relatives, including an Austrian farmer who was his cousin, earlier this year.

Not surprising, but interesting nevertheless. Even before these results it was clear he wasn't of pure "Aryan" stock.

Wasn't there another thread on this earlier?

Anyway, I always thought it was common knowledge that Hitler was part-Jewish?? (as much as half?)

I dont know if it is a fact or not, but my hilariously racist friend would say hitler was terrible because he was secretly jewish. He said it to shock people, so we never expected it to be true.

I remember reading something in the 60's that said Hitler was part Jewish from his illegitimate grandfather...making him 1/4 Jewish.

Of course, it's been denied numerous times, and it appears that MAYBE, Hitler was vague about his family history because the Schickelgruber side of his family was known for mental retardation and insanity. (gee...whoda guessed?)

Anyway, here's a couple of links that mention Hitler's possible Jewish ancestry from before the latest batch of information:

(again, apparently, these are based on rumors only)

It just shows once again what stupidity can do...
Lay the article on the grave of Hitler. You will probably here something as this coming from the ground :

" NEIN, das kann nicht whar sein !"
" NEIN !"
" NEIN !"
" NEIN !"

Are they trying to dump Hitler's crimes on Jews and Africans?

 

[Bateluer]

Based on the current model of the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution, wouldn't we all be considered to have African roots?

OFN, everyone knows that Sammy Davis Jr. and Hitler were cousins.

Last I heard all of us have "African" DNA/roots because that is where humans started.

 

[William Gaatjes]

Afcourse we all have the same roots. Life is like a lightning bolt. It may have separate branches, but it all was not possible if not for that first excitation.

The ideal master race: as blond as Hitler, as thin as Goring, and as chaste as Rohm.

This isn't really suprising as it confirms what historians have believed/suspected for quite some time.

Here's to hoping one day, some folks in here find out they have some Arabic,Persian,Mexican,African blood.

On their hands or in their dna?

 

[HumblePie]

Wait, jewish is a testable DNA race? I thought it was a religion....

 

[Moonbeam]

On their hands or in their dna?

Hehehehehe

 

[brandonb]

I think it was very well known that Hitler was not a pure Aryan, but he still thought the "master race" or perfect race was Aryan, even if he personally didn't fit the bill. He was a supporter of eugenics.

 

[Newbian]

Last I checked everyone had African roots as man as we know it evolved first there.

:thumbsup:

Although a little frighting as well, since we know some are bunkered down, just waiting for that window to rattle.

I don't care what anybody says; that Hitler guy was a little messed up.

Nah, he was a nice jewish african boy, he just fell in with the wrong crowd

Of course, but as someone else said there are branches. For example all people with blue eyes descend from a mutant about 11,000 years ago. All Europeans descend from a group of about 50 people if I recall correctly, etc.

The holocaust could have been avoided completely if Hitler attended a school that cost half a billion dollars.

Don't worry Earl, even if you don't have some of those in your blood, you can easily marry into them.
