I'd like to meet:
William Patrick Hitler (later Stuart-Houston) (born March 12, 1922 in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom – [now lives] in Patchogue, New York, U.S.), nicknamed Willy, was the nephew of Adolf Hitler. Born to Adolf's half-brother Alois Hitler, Jr., and his first wife Bridget Dowling, William later moved to Germany and subsequently escaped, eventually going to the United States where he fought against his uncle in World War II.William Patrick Hitler was the son of Alois Hitler, Jr., and his Irish-born wife Bridget Dowling. They had met in Dublin when Alois was living there in 1909, and eloped to Liverpool where William was born in 1911. Hitler's nephew is recalled by elderly former neighbors, and in Liverpool folklore variously as "Billy" or "Paddy" Hitler. The family lived in a flat at 102 Upper Stanhope Street, which was destroyed in the last German air raid of the Liverpool Blitz on January 10, 1942. It remained a bomb site for many years, but has now been rebuilt and landscaped. Dowling wrote a manuscript called My Brother-in-Law Adolf, in which she claimed Adolf Hitler had moved to Liverpool with her and Alois from November 1912 to April 1913, in order to dodge conscription in Austria. The story has been popular, but is dismissed by most historians as fanciful. Adolf Hitler had an older half-brother, Alois, who was a bit of a ne'er do well and a wastrel and who had already been in prison twice for theft, before he went to Dublin, Ireland via Paris around 1909 where he worked in the Shelbourne Hotel as a waiter. There he met an Irish girl, Briget (or Brigid – the spelling varies!) Dowling and the two of them eloped to Liverpool, England where they married.The Last of the Hitlers book coverHer family were most upset by this marriage and were not reconciled to her until, in 1911 William Dowling, Brigid's father, attended the christening of his grandson, William Patrick Hitler in Liverpool.At this time the Hitler family were living at 102 Upper Stanhope Street in Toxteth, a Liverpool suburb.In the 1930s young William Patrick Hitler became a socialite and decided to trade on the glamour of his surname. He moved to Germany in the hopes that his connection to Uncle Adolf would guarantee him an easy ride in the Third Reich.He bummed around Berlin and the Führer was not impressed.In early 1939 William Patrick and his mother, under the aegis of William Randolph Hearst left England and went to the United States on a lecture tour where he had audiences of up to 1,500 a night.After War between Germany and England broke out the two decided to remain in the United States.In 1944 American moviegoers were startled to see flash on the screen. "Hitler joins US Navy". It was true, but it was William Patrick they were talking about.Almost unbelievably, the man who signed William Patrick into the US navy carried the surname Hess.Hitler's great nephews After the war, William, having become a phlebotomist moved to Long Island where he set up a blood analysis laboratory.In 1947 he married Phyllis whom he had first met in Germany before the war. The two had four sons. Howard, the most out going of them was killed in a car crash in the 1980s. The other three, who are in their late 30s to early 50s, are reported to have taken a pact that they will have no children so that the Hitler blood line will die with them.Two of them work in their own landscape gardening business in Long Island. The other brother, Alexander Adolf, is a social worker.On the Channel 5 TV program Hitler's living relatives Alex was reported as saying that his father was an Englishman, he is an American and that while he has been to Germany several times as a tourist but he has no real interest in that country.In 1914 Alois returned to Germany, but Bridget refused to join him, as he had become violent. Unable to reconnect due to the outbreak of World War I, Alois abandoned the family, leaving William to be raised by his mother. He remarried, bigamously, but re-established contact in the mid-1920s when he wrote to Bridget asking her to send William to Weimar Republic Germany for a visit. She finally agreed in 1929, when William was 18. Alois had another son with his German wife, Heinz Hitler, who, in contrast to his half-brother, became a true-believing Nazi and died in Soviet captivity.In 1933, William Patrick Hitler returned to Nazi Germany in an attempt to benefit from his uncle's rise to power. His uncle found him a job in a bank. Later, he worked at the Opel car factory and then as a car salesman. Unsatisfied, William Patrick persisted in asking his uncle for a better job, and there were rumors he might sell embarrassing stories about the family to the press if he did not receive one; among the rumors would have been his father's bigamous marriage. In 1938, Adolf asked William to relinquish his British citizenship in exchange for a high-ranking job. Fearing a trap, William panicked and fled Germany and then tried to blackmail Hitler with threats to allege to the press that Hitler's alleged paternal grandfather was actually a Jewish merchant. Returning to London he wrote an article for Look magazine titled "Why I Hate my Uncle."[1]In 1939, William and his mother went to the United States on a lecture tour[1] on the invitation of William Randolph Hearst, and were stranded there when World War II broke out. After making a special request to President Franklin Roosevelt, William was cleared to join the United States Navy in 1944; according to a story printed in newspapers at the time of his enlistment, when he went to the draft office and introduced himself, the recruiting officer replied, "Glad to see you Hitler, my name's Hess."[1]William Patrick Hitler served in the US Navy and received the Naval Medical Corps before being discharged in 1947, after being wounded during the course of the war.[1] After leaving the service he changed his last name to Stuart-Houston,[2] married a German woman, moved to Patchogue on Long Island, New York, and had four sons. He used his medical training to establish a business analysing blood samples for hospitals.He was married to Phyllis Jean-Jacques, born in Germany in 1923, whose sister had kept in correspondence with William via mail. After their relationship had begun, Patrick, Phyllis, and Bridget sought anonymity in the U.S. In 1949 they had their first son, who was given the name Alexander Adolph by Patrick. They would later have three more sons, by the names of Louis, Howard Ronald, and Brian William.[1]Howard Ronald Stuart-Houston, a Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, died in an automobile accident on September 14, 1989[4] without having had any children, leaving his brothers Alexander Adolf, Louis and Brian William as the last three members of Adolf Hitler's paternal bloodline. Howard Ronald is buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Section 7, Range R, Plot 11 at 40d, 50' 47.5" N, 72d, 59' 58.3" W, in Coram, New York. It has been said that these three have vowed not to have children themselves[5], and none of them have married, but Alex, now a social worker, has said that he knows of no such pact, and that if it had been made, it was made by the other two brothers without his involvement.[6][1]Despite his public disapproval of his uncle's ideology, not only did William Patrick give his eldest son (born in 1949) the middle name of Adolph, but it has been pointed out that his adopted name Stuart-Houston is remarkably similar to that of famous British anti-Semitic ideologist Houston Stewart Chamberlain, often cited by Nazi sympathizers at the time.[1] The family, however, says that William had rejected Nazi beliefs and had embraced the American Dream and had been wounded fighting for the US during World War II.[1]
