Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had Jewish and African relatives, DNA test suggests
Source: NY Daily News

Could Hitler's hatred for the Jewish people have been a case of self-loathing?

The repulsive leader of Nazi Germany may have had Jewish and perhaps African relatives, according to DNA tests conducted on nearly 40 living relatives.

The report comes from the Belgium magazine, Knack, which says it obtained saliva samples after tracking down 39 relatives from throughout Europe, as well as in America.

"One can from this postulate that Hitler was related to people whom he despised," Jean-Paul Mulders, the journalist who wrote the article, stated in his report.

16. The gop/teabaggers hate so many groups they hate the middle class. Thus they hate themselves. Which
is exactly how the GOP/rich like it.

10. This theory has been around pretty much forever.
Right back to the story that allegedly one of Hitler's grandfathers was a Jewish aristocrat who fathered a child with his maid, Hitler's grandmother.

11. I believe it was a grandmother.
it's not a new suggestion that Hitler had Jewish ancestors. Finally being able to prove it is though.

13. Mahmoud Ahmedinejad Also Reputed To have Jewish Roots
Iran's stridently anti-Jewish Presient Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is reputed to also have Jewish roots. I wonder if he and Adolf are related and if so, how closely?

:crazy:

19. I don't think he'd claim otherwise necessarily.
Those who compare Ahmedinejad's ideology with German national socialism misunderstand the matter. The Iranian president's anti-Jewish standpoint isn't biological in nature.
