Was Hitler Part-Jewish?
Since the 1920s, rumours have abounded that Hitler was partly of Jewish ancestry. What is the truth of these rumours, why did Hitler repeatedly order investigations of his family tree, and what have historians and scientists discovered since the war about Hitler's heritage?
Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA, is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood.

A German Jewish Officer, during WWI, submitted the Iron Cross recommendation for the Austrian- born Bohemian Corporal. Likewise, it was Austrian Jewish doctor Eduard Bloch who attended to Klara’s cancer. For this, Adolf was very grateful to the Jewish doctor who at times waived his fees in seeing Adolf’s mother. After climbing to power in Germany in 1933, Adolf protected Bloch and allowed him to emigrate to the U.S.

When I studied German back in the eighties in Peru, I had an Austrian teacher who was around 75 years old by that time. Once he told us that he had been a sergeant during Second World War and he even saw Hitler once in person. He said there was always a rumour about Hitler's origin. He once told us a joke about who was the ideal Aryan? Tall is Goebbels, Athletic as Goering and Blonde as Hitler.

Watch TIK history on YT. The Italian Fascist party boasted 100,000 Jews, about 30% of the Italian Jewery. Mussolini's lover was Jewish. Mussolini only introduced antisemitic regulations late in his rule to appease Hitler. There were no concentration camps in Italy. Hitler openly despised Fascism for its lack of racial awareness. Hitler was a race Socialist, Mussolini a Fascist that regarded ALL Italians as by default members of the trade union that was the nation-state of Italy. Fascia is Italian for trade union.
The dark side of Mark is that he constantly talk as if jewish is a race and not a religious group

Maria Schicklgruber lived 1795-1847. The partial image purporting to be her in this video has very much the look of a circa 1880s studio photo - not the type of 1840s image made in Maria' lifetime at all. Ms. Schicklgruber was 44 years old when commercial portrait daguerreotypes were first introduced in 1839; and was dead eight years later at 52 - the woman in the picture looks at least a generation too young to be Maria - more a contemporary of Alois than his mother.

Man i am hooked to his videos, man is a treasure of knowledge
I live about 3 minutes away from Döllersheim in Lower Austria, where Hitlers family lived and some of my ancestors for example my great grandmother were also forced out of their homes because of Hitlers orders to build the military training area Döllersheim (today Allentsteig). First they were paid to leave and given a similar big farm somewhere else in Austria or modern day Czech Republic, but the longer they refused to leave, they less they got and the last people who left just got a few Reichsmark and my grandfather told me, that these Reichsmark were worth as much as two metal rakes. To this day they still do some tours in the long abandoned villages like Döllersheim and Äpfelgschwendt and i think Hitlers Grandmother is even buried in Döllersheim‘s graveyard. And lately i am very interested in this topic, because it is near my hometown and unfortunately people around my age don’t even know what happened almost right on their doorsteps.

Honestly this video has really changed my perspective on this topic. Originally I’ve always viewed the ‘Hitler was Jewish’ argument as conspiratorial and frankly a bit of a joke used to show Nazi hypocrisy. However this video has shown evidence from not only historians but also senior Nazis. The fact that Hitlers own family, as well as senior Nazis like Himmler privately investigated Hitlers past really adds to the ‘Jewish Hitler’ argument. I already knew about the section mentioning the ‘45 year old women’ in the Nuremberg Race laws and always saw it as strange, however now I know about Hitlers Grandmother it makes more sense why Hitler would include such a specific and coincidental detail. I leave this video, really questioning what I believed before, and I now definitely see Hitler Jewish ancestry as a possibility. Thank you for expanding my knowledge on this topic Mr Felton, I will defiantly look further into this Historical question myself.

You do not know exactly which one (mom has 2, X and X, so 50% each likely) until further tests from others in the family tree can shed light on the possibilities of whom (which grandmother on the mothers side). Hence Jewish is a bit more complicated than most other ethnic groups.

@@hnys7976 Adolf Hitler - speech in Munich April 12, 1922 And finally we were also the first to point the people on any large scale to a danger which insinuated itself into our midst - a danger which millions failed to realize and which will nonetheless lead us all into ruin - the Jewish danger. And today people are saying yet again that we were 'agitators.' I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti-Semite. I SAY: MY FEELING AS A CHRISTIAN POINTS ME TO MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AS A FIGHTER. IT POINTS ME TO THE MAN WHO ONCE IN LONELINESS, SURROUNDED ONLY BY A FEW FOLLOWERS, RECOGNIZED THESE JEWS FOR WHAT THEY WERE AND SUMMONED MEN TO THE FIGHT AGAINST THEM AND WHO, GOD'S TRUTH! WAS GREATEST NOT AS SUFFERER BUT AS FIGHTER. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and of adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before - the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. And as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago - a civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people. Then indeed when Rome collapsed there were endless streams of new German bands flowing into the Empire from the North; but, if Germany collapses today, who is there to come after us? German blood upon this earth is on the way to gradual exhaustion unless we pull ourselves together and make ourselves free! And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress which daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see it work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week it has only for its wage wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people is plundered and exploited. And through the distress there is no doubt that the people has been aroused. Externally perhaps apathetic, but within there is ferment. And many may say, 'It is an accursed crime to stir up passions in the people.' And then I say to myself: Passion is already stirred through the rising tide of distress, and one day this passion will break out in one way or another: AND NOW I WOULD ASK THOSE WHO TODAY CALL US 'AGITATORS': 'WHAT THEN HAVE YOU TO GIVE TO THE PEOPLE AS A FAITH TO WHICH IT MIGHT CLING?' Nothing at all, for you yourselves have no faith in your own prescriptions. That is the mightiest thing which our Movement must create: for these widespread, seeking and straying masses a new Faith which will not fail them in this hour of confusion, to which they can pledge themselves, on which they can build so that they may at least find once again a place which may bring calm to their hearts.

I don't think it's fair to say Hitler "dodged the draft in Austria", yes he did make efforts to avoid being drafted in the Austrian army, but not out of cowardice, he wanted to fight in the German army and he personally petitioned the royal in charge of the Bavarian army, I forget his name but I'm fairly sure you talked about this on your own channel.

You might want to do a video on Fritz Gerlich and 'The Straight Path' newspaper.
Excellent Dr. Felton. Always look forward to your videos.
Another absolutely fascinating video from Dr. Felton!
Nothing about Hitler was Jewish. Nothing about the people claiming Jewish is Jewish.
I really enjoy these historic and really well researched videos. They are so well done. I do have a question though, I can’t imagine why Himmler would write Bormann anything negative about Hitler‘s family. In a heartbeat, Borman would use it against Himmler in his quest for power. I just question did that letter really ever happen?
Oh boy, this one's gonna go over well..

As Hitler loathed Roman Catholicism and considered Jews to be a racial rather than religious group, the idea that an alleged "vocally anti-Semitic" Roman Catholic Church instilled his anti-Jewish mania seems to me to be extremely dubious.

Hitler loved watching American films.
Well done, sir. I would only add that the issue of Hitler's lineage is still so polarizing that it would be difficult to find scientists (who are, after all, fallible human beings) who would give the evidence the fair trial it deserves. I really hope I'm wrong about this, but I fear this will only be made plain at the end of days.

An interesting but well known phenomenon was seen when Glocks were popular for police in the US. It happened all across the country, different examiners, different labs, literally everywhere. Science just had a hell of a time determining what gun fired a bullet when police were involved in something criminal. The same in no way held true when a Glock handgun was fired by a criminal. There was just an unbelievable discrepancy so wide only juries could be dumb enough to buy it. The statistics on it are so bad and so obvious Glock literally changed the rifling on their latest handguns. A way different situation than what they put on crime shows. I figure in the future it will be used to laugh at us for being so stupid. Something pointed out to kids learning to show how easily bias effects scientific results even in widespread labs. On Hitler's ancestry I believe he still has living relatives who could do DNA tests. I've never understood lying about the Nazis. They were literally Nazis and in every way bad enough to just stick to the truth about. Lying about them also makes it very hard for future generations to learn and know what to watch out for.
Thank you. My mother and I started genealogical work decades ago. With all the wars and people displaced, is anyone pure anything? The Romans went to northern Germany and the British Isles. The Germanic peoples to the Mediterranean, the Huns to France and Italy, the Muslims to France, Austria, Poland, etc., etc., etc. There may be isolated peoples who are pure, but with so much lost history, it seems not very likely.

Dr. Felton, you, sir, are one of the best at finding out the truth of history. I recall that in the 1970s it was taken for granted by historians that Hitler was, in fact, part Jewish through his father. Personally, I believe it. And, if that is the case, it is at least plausible that Hitler was subconsciously getting retribution against his father for that man's sins when he decided to eradicate as many Jews as possible.

Great video as always.
A friendly video suggestion Mark. I think it would be nice to make some videos about how some prominent civilians survived the Nazis, other fascists, and communists. For example, Ettore Bugatti saved his cars from being looted by the Nazis by bricking them up in walls for the duration of Nazi occupation of France. And Alexander Solzhenitsyn, while serving as a captain in the Red Army during World War II, was arrested by the SMERSH and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag and then internal exile for criticizing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in a private letter.

Hadn't heard about Bugatti, great story. Sadly, Solzhenitsyn's story is not atypical.
I'd heard that the so called Nuremberg Laws, apparently drawn up by the Nazis, had claimed that a German citizen could be up to 1/8 Jewish and still be considered fully German (or Aryan as it were.) Could anyone tell me if this is true or not?
Its said the majority of buyers in Vienna for his watercolours were Jewish after about 1911. But his paintings weren't actually much good - he couldnt paint people convincingly, was turned down twice by the Academy of Fine arts in Vienna, so it's hard to see quite why these otherwise shrewd people were backing him, outside of an obligation to do so. Norman Mailer's fine novel The Castle In the Forest delves into the man's early childhood in a most entertaining way, for those interested.

Haplopgroup E1b1b is postulated to have originated in East Africa around 26,000 years ago and spread to Europe and the middle-east 26 millenniums before Jews were invented. It's found in 5-10% of Austrians today and is all over Europe with the exception of North and NorthWest Ireland and far North Scotland. It simply means 26,000 years ago there was a common ancestor group located in East Africa who were certainly not Africans as we see them today. They migrated to Europe and the Middle East

You even have this issue in Glasgow where Irish moved in. A number of the football fans there think of themselves as Catholic or Protestant even though many of them have barely ever darkened the door of a church, and aren't believers in Christ.
