There is so many rumors and myths surrounding Hitler and the National Socialists that the list is just endless...

To start with a few about Hitler:

He wasn't German, he was brown haired and brown eyed, he was gay, he was part Jewish, his first girlfriend was Jewish, he caught syphilis from a prostitute in Vienna, he only had one ball, he had a sexual relationship with niece, he killed his niece, he hated all Jews, he wanted everyone to be blonde hair and blue eyed, he hated Slavs, he said anyone who was not German was not Aryan, he wanted to take over the world, etc etc etc.

Let's just debunk all of them!

Hitler was German. The only reason Austria never became part of the Reich in 1871 (unification of the German nation-state Prussian-dominated was because the Prussians defeated the Austrians in the Austro-Prussian war of 1866. He was born in Austria and was an Austrian citizen until 1925 and gained German citizenship but Austrians are ethnic Germans and the German-speaking Austrian Germans still considered themselves Germans and Austria was part of the German nation, in 1918 German-Austria attempted union with Germany but the victors Treaty of Versailles forbid it, Austrian-born Hitler gave the Austrians a choice in 1938 and 99.7% of them were in favour of union and the Anschluss took place and a Greater Germany existed.

Hitler had brown hair and blue eyes, many black and white photos give the impression he had brown eyes but this is not true.

There is no evidence to suggest Hitler was gay, this is just one of the ways to try and insult him, all credible historians disregard this as "anti-Hitler propaganda".

One of the biggest myths surrounding Hitler was that he was part Jewish himself and thus a Mischlinge according to his own laws - this is a blatant lie. See below -

For years and years people have made up the lie Hitler was part Jewish, there is no evidence for this and it has never been confirmed.

Ian Kershaw dismisses the myth, Frank claimed that he had been called in by Hitler towards the end of 1930 and shown a letter from his nephew William Patrick Hitler (the son of his half-brother Alois, who had been briefly married to an Irish woman) threatening, in connection with the press stories circulating about Hitler's background, to expose the fact that Hitler had Jewish blood flowing in his veins. Allegedly commissioned by Hitler to look into his family history, Frank reportedly discovered that Maria Anna Schicklgruber had given birth to her child while serving as a cook in the home of a Jewish family called Frankenberger in Graz. Not only that: Frankenberger senior had reputedly paid regular installments to support the child on behalf of his son, around nineteen years old at the birth, until the child's fourteenth birthday. Letters were allegedly exchanged for years between Maria Anna Schicklgruber and the Frankenbergers. According to Frank, Hitler declared that he knew, from what his father and grandmother had said, that his grandfather was not the Jew from Graz, but because his grandmother and her subsequent husband were so poor they had conned the Jew into believing he was the father and into paying for the boy's support.

Frank's story gained wide circulation in the 1950s. But it simply does not stand up. There was no Jewish family called Frankenberger in Graz during the 1830s. In fact, there were no Jews at all in the whole of Styria at the time, since Jews were not permitted in that part of Austria until the 1860s. A family named Frankenreiter did live there, but was not Jewish. There is no evidence that Maria Anna was ever in Graz, let alone was employed by the butcher Leopold Frankenreiter. No correspondence between Maria Anna and a family called Frankenberg or Frankenreiter has ever turned up. The son of Leopold Frankenreiter and alleged father of the baby (according to Frank's story and accepting that he had merely confused names) for whom Frankenreiter was seemingly prepared to pay child support for thirteen years was ten years old at the time of Alois's birth. The Frankenreiter family had moreover hit upon such hard times that payment of any support to Maria Anna Schicklgruber would have been inconceivable. Equally lacking in credibility is Frank's comment that Hitler had learnt from his grandmother that there was no truth in the Graz story: his grandmother had been dead for over forty years at the time of Hitler's birth. And whether in fact Hitler received a blackmail letter from his nephew in 1930 is also doubtful. If such was the case, then Patrick -- who repeatedly made a nuisance of himself by scrounging from his famous uncle -- was lucky to survive the next few years which he spent for the most part in Germany, and to be able to leave the country for good in December 1938. His `revelations', when they came in a Paris journal in August 1939, contained nothing about the Graz story. Nor did a number of different Gestapo inquiries into Hitler's family background in the 1930s and 1940s contain any reference to the alleged Graz background. Indeed they discovered no new skeletons in the cupboard. Hans Frank's memoirs, dictated at a time when he was waiting for the hangman and plainly undergoing a psychological crisis, are full of inaccuracies and have to be used with caution. With regard to the story of Hitler's alleged Jewish grandfather, they are valueless. Hitler's grandfather, whoever he was, was not a Jew from Graz.

The only serious contenders for the paternity of Hitler's father remain, therefore, Johann Georg Hiedler and Johann Nepomuk Hiedler (or Huttler). The official version always declared Johann Georg to be Adolf's grandfather.

The DNA results also stating he had E1b1b is also not conclusive evidence either, just because E1b1b1 (a subclade of E1b1b) is more common among Jewish and Africans it doesn't mean anything, E1b1b is 9% still found in Austria (there is more subclades in E1b1b than just E1b1b1 as well) - the tests were also from napkins and a grand nephew, not very credible nor was it scientifically verified.

What is even more funny that has to be noted is this so-called journalist who made this claim previously said that Hitler had no "Jewish blood" when trying to found out if Hitler had a French son: The conclusion that Jean-Paul Mulders comes to in these results contradicts what his DNA research showed when he tried to determine whether or not it was Hitler who was allegedly the German soldier who had a son to a French woman and the conclusion from the results was that "Adolf Hitler had no Jewish blood nor a French son."

His secret "Jewish" girlfriend myth in the article that the Daily Mail published it says: "In fact, it later transpired that, despite her surname, Stefanie was not Jewish." - She was never even his girlfriend neither.

He never had sex with a Jewish prostitute in Vienna, there is no evidence to suggest this, another anti-Hitler propaganda urban legend.

Hitler as far as medical records show he had two testicles not one.

Hitler did not have a sexual relationship with his half-niece Geli but he was very close to her, he did not kill her neither.

Many Jews were not targeted this is a misconception.

The whole "he wanted everyone to be blonde hair and blue eyed" is another urban legend myth coming from the Nordic-image being the physical ideal but Aryans were not judged on their hair or eye colour.

Hitler did not hate Slavs. If you read Mein Kampf all he says is that Slavs (Czechs) were causing the de-Germanization of the Austrians in the Austria-Hungary empire, he was not against them. Hitler was on good terms with many Slavs and Slavs were regarded as Aryan by National Socialist laws although the National Socialists did use anti-Slav propaganda from time to time.

People think he said Germans were the ONLY Aryans - this is another urban legend myth. The National Socialists believed the Germanic people were the master race (Herrenvolk) but there still many other Aryans such as Celtic people, Slavic people, Baltic people, etc etc.

Hitler wanted Europe not the whole world, he had troops in Northern Africa for alliance with Italy nothing else.
