Extraordinary letter from Hitler's nephew begging to enlist in U.S. Army for fight AGAINST Nazis

An extraordinary letter from the nephew of Adolf Hitler has been discovered in which he begs to be allowed to enlist in the U.S. Army to fight against his uncle's facist regime.

William Patrick Hitler fled Nazi Germany when war broke out in 1939 to come and live with relatives in New York.

After being rejected from the U.S. Army because of his family connection, he wrote an emotional plea to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 on why he so strongly wanted to fight for Allied Forces.

n the letter, he wrote: 'I am the nephew and only descendant of the ill-famed Chancellor and Leader of Germany who today so despotically seeks to enslave the free and Christian peoples of the globe.

'More than anything else I would like to see active combat as soon as possible and thereby be accepted by my friends and comrades as one of them in this great struggle for liberty.'

One of the good guys: Adolf Hitler's nephew William, pictured with his mother Bridget, wrote to President Roosevelt in 1942 begging to be allowed to fight for the U.S. against his uncle's regime

He did good during WWII, but wasn’t this the same guy who died a few years ago at age 76 and late in life called himself “Willy Hitler” and said his uncle Adolf wasn’t such a bad guy but was misunderstood and there really is a Jewish cabal to control world communications & finance and I can’t help it if I stand with my arms folded and my feet spread just like Uncle Adolf and speak with a German accent I never had before and....

That one?

Are we to believe he didn’t change his name? Why that’s like having the name Hussein and being the POtUS.

He changed it to Stuart-Houston. He knew Hitler might reel in some sideways glances I reckon.

Werner Goering, a nephew of Hermann Goering, was a pilot for the USAAF in WWII and flew many bombing raids over Germany. He was born in Salt Lake City so his parents may have been Mormons who immigrated from Germany.

Those tidbits I'm not familiar with...The History Channel did a feature on him abt 6 years ago, but I missed it.

One glaring detail for me is that he started and ran a blood lab out of his house! I know a thing or two about the business of healthcare operations , state/local scrutiny and standards, and I know it was another era, but still, the very idea is hysterical.

Here's some more from the NY Crimes from a few years back:

That's a fun fact. Thanks.

Who knew Adolf Hitler had great-nephews living in Patchogue, Long Island ?

Thank you for sharing this excellent article. It is proof of the existence of goodness and faith in God in times of great turmoil. Everyone should read this man’s letter completely.

Your posting this led me on a long journey researching the details of the Munich Agreement where Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler by giving him the Sudeten-Land of Czechoslovakia. I highly recommend that everyone read this bit of history as the parallels between Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Israel today, with Obama being the current day Chamberlain are very thought provoking.

History appears to be destined to repeat itself. Hopefully, by the Grace of God, repetition will be avoided. According to prophesy, I fear that Divine Will will lead us down the same road for a period of time. Hang on to your hat as the weather ahead appears to becoming a bit windy!

On the other hand, maybe it’s just time to get rid of the old wine skin and the old garment to make room for the new! Like birthing pains, the end result will be fabulous.

Adolph probably had a summer place on Martha's Vineyard.

This great man left Germany and warned both France and England of Hitler’s plans to invade. Shame the warnings fell upon deaf ears!

Not quite in the same league, but Admiral Doenitz’s nephew farmed in western Champaign County in Illinois until a few years ago.

Having been born in Salt Lake, he would have been eligible to have been elected the first Mormon president. LOL!
