William Patrick Hitler moved to the US and served in the Navy. He later moved to Long Island where he had four sons. None of them have had any children, which some say was a pact among them to ensure the end of the Hitler blood line.

Also, he changed his name to William Patrick Stuart-Houston. Which, all things considered, was probably a good move, eh?

I know some of the weird facts about Hitler - Many may know he trimmed his iconic stash to fix under a gas mask - however many don't know that it didn't work – he was gassed in 1918 and temporarily blinded.
