DNA tests reveal Hitler's Jewish and African roots

The Fuhrer 'would not have been happy' to learn he was more Berber tribesman than Aryan superman.

By Haaretz Service

Adolf Hitler may have owed more to the 'subhuman' races he tried to exterminate than to his 'Aryan' compatriots, according to new finding published in Belgium this week.

In research for the Flemish-language magazine Knack, journalist Jean-Paul Mulders traced Hitler's living relatives in the Fuhrer's native Austria, as well as the United States.

"The results of this study are surprising," said Ronny Decorte, a geneticist interviewed by Knack. "Hitler would not have been happy."

Geneticists identify groups of chromosomes called haplogroups, 'genetic fingerprints' that define populations.

According to Mulders, Hitler's dominant haplogroup, E1b1b, is relatively rare in Western Europe - but strongest in some 25 percent of Greeks and Sicilians, who apparently acquired the genes from Africa: Between 50 percent and 80 percent of North Africans share Hitler's dominant group, which is especially prevalent among in the Berber tribes of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, and Somalis.

More surprising still, perhaps, is that Hitler's second most dominant haplogroup is the most common in Ashkenazi Jews.

"The findings are fascinating if you look at them in terms of the Nazi worldview, which ascribed such an extreme priority to notions of blood and race," Decorte said.

Knack said it would now petition Russian government archives to release a human jawbone wrapped in a blood-soaked cloth, retrieved from a Berlin bunker where Hitler is thought to have committed suicide and believed to have belonged to the Fuhrer, who dreamed of engineering a Nazi superman.

"For modern science, there are no more races, Decorte said. "This pure type of 'superman' and the [Nazi] breeding programs to perfect 'purity' were sheer fabrication."

Racial superiority a fabrication????

I'm sure Lict...er...I mean..Kanadischer will have something to say about that...

Ya'know...Some Galtonesque/Shockleyesque drivel that overloads the kook meter..

As he should. This prove that poor misunderstood Adolf was not a genocifal maniac responsible for the death of milion of Jews, not counting Romas and others

I'm HIGHLY skeptical of this report. The most official things I've read about this is that he has few living relatives in the US and none of them A) have ever agreed to talk to the media and B ) have actually taken up an oath to never have children so the Hitler bloodline is destroyed.

Edit: on B, after further research, one of the relatives swears there isn't a pact not to have kids, there just haven't been any born, yet.

I'm fairly skeptical of the report, and what's more, there are a significant number of questions surrounding whether the Soviets ever actually had any of Hitler's remains.

The Wikipedia has his bio. and I can understand how Hilter turned out the way he did. He didn`t have a happy childhood and this would create the monster he became. The picture of him as a young child , one could never think he would be one of the most hated men in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

Yea olde 'Hitler was a Jew' raises its head on occasion. The same re: Mr Stalin.

Lots of people don't have happy childhoods and don't end up orchestrating the deaths of millions.

I'm afraid trying to sort out Hitler's pathology will occupy people for centuries to come.

we are ALL related genetically it's only a matter of how long ago our family trees diverged...

I can't remember the title of the documentary, but I recently watched a documentary that actually got access to that purported piece of skull. The blood soaked cloth was apparently from the couch he shot himself on. Though they had no DNA to compare it to because the members of his family wouldn't provide samples, the DNA from the skull and the cloth was undoubtedly from a woman.

Well, it depends on one's sphere of influence. Kids with shitty upbringings far more often than regular kids end up in crime. The difference between Hitler and the rest is he was given the most powerful country in the world to toy around with.

"Was given"? He was just a dude walking around in the street and suddenly someone came up to him and was like "here, have a country"? He acted very deliberately to take power and ruthlessly crush opposition.

Why? Some anal retentive person such as yourself can play semantics with just about anything.

Someone has to keep the facts straight or pretty soon a person such as yourself would be promoting the narrative that Hitler was some poor abused child who was cruelly thrust into a position of power and had little choice but to act as he did.

Ja Hermann, I was just walking down the road, and these guys in Brown Shirts started shouting "Mein Fuhrer!" I had a sudden urge to kill Jews and Gypsies and invade Poland. Weird huh?

No, I'm not that stupid. Nor am I that stupid to believe that's what others would mean when using other terminology.

What else is new- do a DNA test on the great scotish clans and you will find they are all long lost relatives of Jesus the Christ..You would think that the world would finally figure out that we were all at the first and last supper.

Dumbest statement ever. He didn't go through one one-hundredth of what my relatives have gone through. I'll never get used to hearing this kind of despicable garbage, which is almost always prefaced with, "I don't CONDONE the acts, BUT..."

So pathetic.

Example of semantics - "The threats we face today" vs. "Challenges facing us today"

Example of stupidity - "Hitler... was given the most powerful country in the world to toy around with."
