Hitler's Jewish Ancestry

^™

The rumours of Adolph Hitler's Jewish ancestry (Frankenberger) centre on the paternity of his father, Alois Hitler.

The stories that Hitler's paternal grandfather was Jewish first appeared in Paris before the Second World War. Hitler's cousin had tried to borrow money from him to finance his gambling habit and had been rejected. In revenge he broke the story to the media.

As the story was now in the public domain, Hitler's SS instituted an investigation of these rumours and declared them to be false and without any foundation whatsoever (as was really to be expected).

Since the war, some historians have investigated and found no direct evidence in Austria to support the story (in particular, neo-Nazi David J. Irving). But, perhaps this also was to be expected after the SS had completed their 'investigation' (elimination) of evidences.

The circumstantial evidences still remain, however, and no more likely an explanation has yet been forthcoming to explain the true paternity of Hitler's father and its actual circumstance.

1837:	June 7, Alois (Adolph Hitler's father) is born illegitimately from the 42-year-old Maria Schickelgruber, most probably to the 19-year-old heir of the Jewish Frankenberger family of Graz. (Maria had been employed by the Frankenberger family in Graz as a sewing-maid at the time she fell pregnant).
	Maria receives financial support up until Alois' birth, which now terminates with a lump sum payment. Alois' entry in the parish baptismal register leaves the name of his father blank. Maria Schickelgruber subsequently marries a Johann Georg 'Hikler' [Hiedler], who later dies before her son, Alois, begins his career as an Austrian customs officer.
1868:	Alois 'Hikler' [Hiedler] has an illegitimate son.
1876:	Alois Hikler/Hiedler's baptismal-record at Dollersheim, Austria, is amended by the parish priest, at the request of the 77-year-old Nepomuk Hiedler, brother of the now-deceased JG 'Hikler' [Hiedler], supported by the 'testimony' of his two illiterate associates (of known dubious character) to the effect that Alois' deceased foster-father, Johann Georg 'Hikler'/Hiedler, had really been his biological father.
	This is done to secure a career advantage for Alois in the Austrian civil service .
1880:	Alois 'Hikler' [Hiedler] separates from his wife (moneyed and 14-years older than he) and takes the barmaid of the Gasthaus on the ground floor under his apartment/flat as his mistress.
1883:	Alois' first wife dies and he marries his mistress, who had already born him one child and bears another before dying of tuberculosis two years later.
	Later, Alois changes his surname to Hitler.
c.1886:	Alois marries Klara Pölzl (seventh-child of Nepomuk Hiedler's daughter Johanna, whose married name was Pölzl), who had worked for Alois as serving-maid before his separation from his first wife. He has six children by Klara (the first being born five months after the marriage, but only two survive their early years - Adolf and Paula).
1889:	Saturday, April 20: In Brannau on the river Inn, Adolf is born, the fourth child of Klara.
1892:	Alois is appointed to the Austrian Customs House in Passau, on the Bavarian side of the river Inn.
1900:	Adolf, age eleven, graduates to the Realschule in Linz. He is forced to repeat his first year due to his low marks, his worst subjects being mathematics and German. He does a further year at the Realschule at Steyr near Linz. His teachers regard him as talented but lazy. His only first is in Turnen (Physical Training).
1903:	Alois dies of a stroke at Leonding near Linz, when Adolf is thirteen-years-old. Widow Klara, Adolf's mother, receives a generous pension and an educational allowance for her two children.
1909:	Having wasted his inheritances and educational allowance, Adolf now lodges in the Men's Home in the 20th Bezirk of Vienna, where he remains, while avoiding his Austrian military obligations, until 1913. During this time his anti-Semitism grows from cheap anti-Semitic pamphlets in general circulation.
1925:	In Munich Germany, Adolf makes final application to be deprived of his Austrian citizenship to avoid the possibility of his deportation to Austria by the German police.
1946:	October, in Nuremberg – while awaiting execution, Hans Frank [Hitler's attorney] confesses to a priest that after having been asked by Adolf Hitler to investigate his ancestry [after Hitler's nephew, William Patrick Hitler, had tried to blackmail him], he discovered Hitler's grandmother, Maria, had worked as a servant in Graz for a wealthy Jew named Leopold Frankenberger, who had a teenage son around 19 years old. According to Frank, the elder Frankenberger sent Maria regular child support payments until Alois was fourteen; the inference was that the payments were made because the younger Frankenberger had fathered Alois. Frank also claimed that there was a series of letters between Maria and the elder Frankenberger, which showed that the paternity of the younger Frankenberger was assumed by the correspondents. The letters understandably were never found.

Note:

There is absolutely no indication that Alois' mother Maria even knew Hikler/Hiedler at the time of his conception.

But there is evidence that she lived in a different town (Graz) at the time of his conception; and that,

she received financial compensation for her pregnancy which, with its final settlement after the birth of Alois, was certainly the price of her silence.

This makes no sense if it was a man whom she later married after Alois' birth, but it makes every sense if in the strict social rules of that time it was a person who would not be named, such as the son and heir of her employer at the time of the conception.

But for that cover-up then, the man that history knows as Hitler may have been known to us as Frankenberger, unless of course his name was an embarrassment to him and them.
