Hitler's mother's maiden name was Schicklegruber. It's possible, though inconclusive, that he had Jewish origins.

Your post is another good example of what I am complaining about.

The name was Schickelgruber (so spelled). A typical Austrian / South German name, not a Jewish one.

There is no evidence that Hitler had Jewish origins. But don't let that stop you from engaging in irresponsible rumor-mongering.

Well, the theories that Hitler may have had a Jewish ancestor are not just "rumors." The theory has been seriously considered by historians though it probably can't be proven one way or another. I don't have the book title at my fingertips (but can find it if you doubt me) but the theory was discussed as quite plausible in a book published by a major academic book in the last five years dealing with Hitler's years in Austria.
