Title: Hitler's Nephew
Post by: CptTrips on April 04, 2025, 09:32:19 PM


I never heard of this guy.  Interesting.   From the comments:

Quote
He was half Austrian, half Irish, raised in England, lived in America, served in the US Navy, and his uncle was the Austrian ruler of Germany, some family.

can you imagine what Hitler did to anyone carrying that name? I wonder how many people felt the need to scrub their surname?

Yeah. 

I haven't researched the guy, but a man is defined by his own actions, not by those carry his name.

That's east to say...if your name isn't Hitler. lol!

Like... are you putting that on your family business? lol. Hitler's garage or Hitler's Furnace and Duct service.
 Or even just a resume. lol.

No, but the fault is not his.  The fault is on those who would judge him merely on the name he carried that he didn't choose to be born with.  Like judging someone by the color of their skin and not the content of their character.

Sadly in the world we live in, I probably would have changed my name too.

I wasn't specifically speaking of Hitler's nephew there, but of course the falt does not his... or any of his other family members down the line up through today. But the fact remains that the name is now beyond salvageable. You're not going to be putting your name on stuff if you're called Hitler. Lol.

Oh I hear ya.

It's like the British Royal Family.  The surname before WWI was the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

That was bad PR during a war with Germany when million of Brits were getting machined-gunned down in the mud in Flanders.  So they changed to Windsor.  lol.

I have nothing to apologize for. 

Neither did Hitler's nephew.

And I asked if it was in bad taste.  I didn't say it wasn't.

You in a bad mood snowflake?  Retirement account not doing well?  Snicker. BTW,  DOW futures down another 1500 so far this afternoon.
