Would you vote for Hitler? A man named Adolf Hitler has put his name on the ballot in the Indian state of Meghalaya.

There are 345 contestants running for state assembly in Meghalaya and one of those people is Adolf Hitler.

According to US News, the 54-year-old father of three has won election in Meghalaya three times and hopes to be named to the state assembly again.

Yahoo News reports that the Indian politician’s name isn’t identical to the Nazi dictator’s. The politician’s father gave his son the middle name of “Lu” to distinguish his son from the dictator.

Hitler said:

“I am aware at one point of time Adolf Hitler was the most hated person on Earth for the genocide of the Jews. But my father added ‘Lu’ in between, naming me Adolf Lu Hitler, and that’s why I am different.”

Hitler has also done a fair share of world traveling. He’s been stopped a few times with questions about his name but Hitler said he’s never had any real problems.

Hitler said:

“I never had problems obtaining a visa but I was asked many times during immigration as to why I should have such a name. I told the immigration staff I possibly didn’t have a role in my naming.”

The Indian politician hasn’t had too much trouble with his name but that isn’t the case for everyone. A little boy was taken away from his parents last year after they decided to name him Adolf Hitler.

An Adolf Hitler app for Google’s Android Google Play app store provides ‘inspiring’ quotes from the famous Nazi leader. I just hope there is not a Godwin’s law for writers, since these Hitler apps have also inspired a fiery debate, prompting even the New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to chime in with their opinion.

According to Arutz Sheva, one Hitler app at the Google Play Store, “Adolf Hitler” by N-Frames Tech, tells readers, “All about Adolf Hitler. Get everything in one place – Bio, Pictures, Videos and Quotes. Not only can you get them in one place, you can share all your favorites with your friends in a click.” This Hitler app is rated “medium maturity” and the app has earned 76 Google+1s and an average 4.1 star rating with 58 reviews. Another one of the free apps, Infamous Adolf Hitler Quotes, has attracted 10,000 to 50,000 downloads in the past 30 days according to Google’s statistics.

The second Hitler app is the more troubling of the two, since it’s descriptions asks Android users to ”enjoy the inspiration of Adolf Hitler on your phone.” Another app called Adolf Hitler Thoughts states in its description that “the wonderful leader has given a lot of quotes that could motivate people to conquer the world.” The Hitler’s Sayings app refers to the Hitler quotes as “beautiful sayings that we could benefit from in our lives.”

So what sort of “inspiring” quotes should we expect from these Hitler apps? According to The Jerusalem Post some include lovely gems like ”Jews are like the mosquitoes that suck our blood,” and “I could have killed all the Jews in the world, but I spared some of them so you know why I killed the rest.” You get the idea.

People are apparently not just learning from history, they are reveling in it in an unhealthy manner. While some reviewers simply find Adolf Hitler “quite intriguing,” others are taking their interest to a whole new level according to Arutz Sheva:

“If we in the west had leaders with 1% of his guts we would not have filth, mud people plotting to kill us in our countries, their actions prove it.”

The Jewish Anti-Defamation League is attempting to get these anti-Semitic Hitler apps removed Google Play since they apparently violate Google’s policies regarding hate speech. The Huffington Post points out that “although Google has removed pro-Hitler and Nazi Androids apps in the past, particularly in 2010, new anti-Semitic apps continue to plague its app market and seem to have grown even more inflammatory in their content.”

A series of photos have been released by LIFE.com that show off the decrepit bunker where Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun killed themselves.

Many of these images weren’t published in a special edition of the magazine, which was released immediately after war in 1945. Photographer, William Vandivert, was the first Westerner who was granted access into the bunker, which was carved underneath the Reich Chancellery and was ultimately reduced to dust by Allied bombs.

Vandivert said of the images, “These pix were made in the dark with only a candle for illumination … our small party of four beat all rest of mob who came down about forty minutes after we got there.”

The pictures also show war correspondents looking at the sofa and examining the area where he the Führer and his wife killed themselves. It is believed that Hitler shot himself in the mouth with his service pistol.

Other never-before-seen images show Berlin in ruins, with Russian and Allied soldiers marching their way through the German city.

Vandivert, who died in 1992, also noted for LIFE, “Almost every famous building in Berlin is a shambles. In the centre of town GIs could walk for block and see no living thing, hear nothing but the stillness of death, smell nothing but the stench of death.”

Today, the LIFE website stated, “A few of those images are republished here; most of the pictures in this gallery, however, never appeared in LIFE. Taken together, they illuminate the surreal, disturbing universe Vandivert encountered in the bunker itself, and in the streets of the vanquished city beyond the bunker’s walls.”

You can check out the pictures below.

Photos Show The Sofa Where Adolf Hitler And Eva Braun Died [Pics] is a post from: The Inquisitr

You remember how Adolf Hitler committed suicide alongside Eva Braun at the Führerbunker right at the tail end of WWII in Europe? Yeah, that didn’t happen. A new documentary suggests that Germany’s most infamous political figure actually died in a luxurious hotel in Argentina in 1965.

It’s not an entirely new theory (in fact, it pops up every couple of years, as evidenced by The Sun), but director/producer Noam Shalev and researcher Pablo Weschler argue in their upcoming documentary Hitler in Argentina that there’s considerable evidence that suggests Adolf Hitler managed to escape Nazi Germany at the end of WWII and live the remainder of his life quietly in South America.

“We will never know the truth,” says Shalev. “But there is enough evidence to build an alternative theory about what happened to Hitler.”

“No one believed the Russians’ story of Hitler’s suicide in the bunker,” Weschler adds. “As early as the summer of 1945, there were headlines asking, ‘Where is Hitler?’ all over the world.”

Recently declassified FBI documents formed the basis of the new documentary, reports Mediaite. Both Shalev and Weschler didn’t buy British intelligence officer and historian Hugh Trevor-Roper’s investigation into Hitler’s death, believing it to be “unprofessional.”

“In those days, the FBI, not the CIA, was responsible for South America,” says Weschler. “And in declassified documents, we see that the FBI took very seriously the possibility that Hitler fled to Argentina.”

The FBI even opened an investigation into the theory, lending it some credence. Pulling from the investigation, both Shalev and Weschler believe that one can reasonably conclude that Hitler died in Argentina in 1965.

“The Eden Hotel in La Falda, Cordoba [in Argentina] was owned by Ida and Walter Eichhorn, who were close friends of Hitler,” Weschler explains. “Hitler sent them a Mercedes Benz as a gift. It was the first Benz in Argentina.”

The silver bullet in the documentary revolves around DNA testing of Hitler’s skull fragments performed in 2009.

“They showed that they couldn’t have been Hitler’s skull because they were from a woman under 40,” Weschler says. “The more you look into it, the less credible the official version becomes, and the more plausible an alternative theory seems.”

What do you think? Could Adolf Hitler have died in Argentina in 1965?

An art installation in Poland that includes a praying Hitler statue has sparked opposing viewpoints among its many visitors. Installed in November, the display has attracted a curious crowd and provoked emotional reactions.

The statue’s location is responsible for much of the intense reaction. It stands in the former Warsaw ghetto, a place of anguish and fear delivered by the Nazi regime. Placed behind a locked gate and only viewable at a distance, the statue sits in the same area where countless Jewish people awaited their fate at Hitler’s hands.

The Associated Press writes that the controversial statue is the work of Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian artist. The statue features a kneeling Adolf Hitler with hands clasped in prayer. Organizers refer to the piece as an opportunity to reflect on the nature of evil.

The figure, titled HIM, is a small part of the larger Amen exhibition by Cattelan. Aside from the praying Hitler statue, the rest of the exhibit is located a distance away at Warsaw’s Center for Contemporary Art.

The statue has its share of detractors who feel strongly that the installation is insensitive. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish advocacy group, has publicly voiced its disgust. Both Jewish and Catholic organizations throughout the world have expressed extreme offense.

There have also been positive reactions to the installation, with some visitors feeling that the statue represents Hitler praying for forgiveness. Others feel the statue shows that evil can come in many unassuming forms. Art experts and historians have expressed alternating opinions.

The Jerusalem Post writes that art historian Maria Poprzecka offered her thoughts on the piece:

“Cattelan is a provocateur, to some extent, but it is definitely not a blasphemer. He is one of a few artists who have won fame not because of their artistic activity, but because of scandal caused by politicians. In the exhibition ‘Amen’ he is trying to deal with such subjects as suffering, martyrdom and death. That’s the reason his other works present a crucified woman and a wounded horse.”

Tell us your opinion of a praying Adolf Hitler statue being displayed in the former Warsaw ghetto.

The animated feature length comedy Adolf is looking for some financial help from the comic book series’ fans, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a controversial comic book series from Germany, Adolf follows the adventures of the notorious German ruler after her emerges from a bunker years after the war. The story chronicles Hitler’s numerous attempts to adapt to the modern world. Although he tries to keep his murderous ways under wraps, he accidentally causes the death of Kurt Cobain, Lady Di, and others along the way.

Since convincing a major studio to touch something as controversial and questionable as Adolf is nearly impossible, producers have taken to the internet to generate production funds. The crowdsourcing campaign for the animated Hitler comedy is currently scheduled to run through February of 2013.

In order to generate some much-needed internet buzz, Adolf creator Walter Moers uploaded a teaser trailer for the proposed motion picture. In the clip, Hitler arrives to deliver a speech only to discover that he forgot to put on a pair of pants.

According to Wikipedia, Walter Moers is considered to be one of the most successful German comic book creators and authors in history. Instead of children, his books are geared more towards adults who don’t mind dark humor and political incorrectness.

In addition to Adolf, die Nazisau (Adolf, the Nazi Pig), Moers is also credited with creating Das kleine Arschloch (The Little A**hole). The story chronicles the adventures of a little boy who constantly gets in trouble with adults.

Moers also created Der alte Sack (The Old Curmudgeon), a series which finds a terminally ill man in a wheelchair delivering sarcastic observations on the things that go on around him.

The Adolf mastermind has also penned a number of books, a number of which have been translated into English. The author’s The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books was just released in the United States on November 8.

The promotional trailer for Adolf has been embedded below. Do you think an animated Hitler comedy is too offensive?

Nazi-related references have been thrown around like prizes at a birthday party at this year’s Democratic National Convention. The third reference in as many days was aimed at South Carolina’s Republican governor Nikki Haley. Dick Harpoolitan, the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, compared Haley to Hitler’s mistress, reports USA Today. Harpoolitcan, “noting that Republicans are holding opposition press briefings in a basements studio,” commented at a South Carolina delegation breakfast today that Haley was, “down in the basement a la Eva Braun.” Really? Not only was his comment uncalled for and inappropriate, it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Democratic party.

This is not the first time a Republican has been hit with a Nazi-related remark since the beginning of the Democratic National Convention. California Democratic Party chief John Burton got things started on Monday. According to Slate, Burton said Republicans lie without shame, and that “as long as you lie, Joseph Goebbels, the big lie, you keep repeating it,” referring to the philosophy of Nazi propagandist. Burton seems to be continuing this year’s political theme of let’s-knock-down-the-opposition-instead-of-actually-promoting-our-platform.

The next day, Kansas Democratic Labor Committee president used the name of Hitler himself. The Wichita Eagle reports that Pat Lehman is concerned with voter-registration laws that Republicans have passed in many states in order to suppress the vote of certain Democratic-leaning groups such as the elderly. In scorning the Republican’s guise that these new laws are to protect against voter fraud, Lehman comments, “It’s like Hitler said, if you’re going to tell a lie, tell a big lie, and if you tell it often enough and say it in a loud enough voice, some people are going to believe you.”

In the opinion of Slate writer David Weigel, there is no offense in quoting an aphorism, making the following argument: “When you quote somebody, are you assuming all the characteristics and contexts of the person responsible for the quote?” Point taken, Weigel, but what about Harpootlian’s comment about Haley? Unlike Lehman and even Burton, Harpootlian’s comment was not an effort to “advance a larger narrative,” as Josh Vorhees states. On the contrary, it was a needless quip that couldn’t have come at a worse time since the Democrats were already under fire for their first two Hitler-related comments.

Of course, the Republican party is not the graciously forgiving wronged party in this situation. USA Today reports that Haley responded to Harpootlian’s comment by calling him, “an angry, hateful man” who “embarrasses South Carolina every time he opens his mouth.” I understand that the Republican party has a right to be offended by the remarks made in the last few days, but to respond by calling someone angry and hateful? I suddenly feel like I am privy to a playground fight, not a campaign in which I am supposed to vote the next leaders of my country. Judging by the current behavior of all involved, I’m not sure I’d even want these people playing in the park with my kids, much less leading our nation.

Readers: What are your thoughts? Is there some bullying and name-calling going on here, or is this all just a trumped-up attempt to make one party look better than the other?

“Hitler” is probably a bad name for a store.

Several people in India are calling for the Hitler store to change its name but the shop owner, Rajesh Shah, says that he wouldn’t only do so unless he is compensated for the re-branding costs.

Shah said:

“I will change it (the name) if people want to compensate me for the money we have spent — the logo, the hoarding, the business cards, the brand.”

The store doesn’t sell Hitler paraphernalia but the “i” in the store’s name is dotted with a Nazi swastika.

Despite the name and the swastika Shah says that it isn’t a racist store. Instead, the owner claims that the store was named after his business partner’s grandfather who was given the nickname Hitler because “he was very strict.”

Shah said that he did not know who Adolf Hitler was until he opened the store and did not know about the significance of the swastika.

Shah told the AFP:

“I didn’t know how much the name would disturb people… It was only when the store opened I learnt Hitler had killed six million people.”

Shah reiterated his claim to the Times of India:

“Frankly, until the time we applied for the trademark permission, I had only heard that Hitler was a strict man… It was only recently that we read about Hitler on the internet.”

Do you believe Shah? Is it really possibly for someone to not know about Adolf Hitler? Do you think Shah named his store Hitler to cause some controversy and get some press?

Hitler Store Stirs Controversy In India is a post from: The Inquisitr

Wine companies usually try to make their labels interesting so that they stand out and grab your attention. Putting a picture of WWII-era German dictator Adolf Hitler on just about anything is bound to get some attention, and that’s exactly what an Italian wine company thought

In what amounts to the most offensive wine labeling of all time (also potentially the smartest publicity stunt of all time), an Italian wine company called Vini Lundardelli, located in Udine, Italy, sells bottles of wine bearing the pictures of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi Germany big wigs on their labels, reports Delish. They call the line of wines “Linea Storia,” (“the line of history” for the Italian-impaired), which is probably the most politically-correct strategy to get a picture of Hitler on anything that we’ve ever heard of.

The purpose of this historical line (via Lundardelli’s website) is to remind us “of the lives of celebrated personages of Italian and world political history such and Che Guevara, Churcill, Francesco Giuseppe, Gramsci, Hitler, Marx, Mussolini, Napoleon, and Sissi.”

Wait, what?

Things unraveled after an American lawyer traveling abroad with his wife caught a glimpse of Hitler’s mug on the bottle. Matthew Hirsch claims that a number of his family members died in Auschwitz, while his wife’s father survived the mass genocide. Understandably, they were horrified to see Hitler Nazi-saluting them through a store window with “Mein Kampf,” emblazoned beneath him.

“It makes you wonder about the sympathies of the local people,” said Hirsch.

“It is an affront to humanity as a whole,” his wife Cindy added.

A store employee insisted to the Hirsch couple that the bottles must remain to serve as reminders “to the sons and daughters of those who had carried out these actions,” reports the NJNewsRoom.

Italian government officials wasted no time launching an investigation, with Andrea Riccardi, the Italian integration minister saying, “I want to reassure our American friends that our Constitution and our culture rejects racism, anti-Semitism and Nazi fascism. This offends the memory of millions and risks compromising the image of Italy abroad.”

The winemaker’s website states that the historical line has proven quite popular, becoming something of a “cult object” among collectors. Maybe people are buying the Hitler wine out of morbid curiosity. I don’t know. So I turn to you, the smartest people I know. Would you buy a bottle of Fuhrerwein? Why or why not?

A shocking letter from William Patrick Hitler, Adolf Hitler’s nephew, was recently discovered.

In the letter, William Patrick Hitler begs to be allowed to enlinst in the U.S. Army in order to join the fight against the Nazis in WWII. These being the same Nazis that were led by his own uncle, Adolf Hitler. According to MailOnline, this letter was written in 1942 to President Franklin D. Roosevelt as an emotional plea to be allowed to fight for the Allied Forces, after he was first rejected by the U.S. Army due to his family ties. In the letter William Patrick Hitler writes,

“I am the nephew and only descendant of the ill-famed Chancellor and Leader of Germany who today so despotically seeks to enslave the free and Christian peoples of the globe.”

“More than anything else I would like to see active combat as soon as possible and thereby be accepted by my friends and comrades as one of them in this great struggle for liberty.”

After being approved by, then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, William was finally able to enlist in service against the Nazis. William joined the Navy in 1944. His military career was cut short, however, after only 3 years when he was removed from service due to being wounded.

William first fled to Britain after his uncle, Adolf Hitler, offered him a high-powered position within his organization. William fled because he was suspicious that this “position” was a trap.

In 1939, with the help of a British spy, William escaped from Germany and quickly fled for the U.S. with his mother. William later changed his last name to Stuart-Houston after his time with the U.S. Navy. He then married a woman by the name of Phyllis Jean-Jaqcues, with who he had 4 sons. William and his family then settled in Patchogue, Long Island, where he set up a medical laboratory business.

William lived to the ripe old age of 76. He died in 1987 and is buried at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram, New York.

This is William Patrick Hitler’s letter to President Roosevelt in its entirety.

March 3rd, 1942.

Letter From Hitlers Nephew Found: Begging To Enlist in U.S. Army To Fight Against The Nazis is a post from: The Inquisitr

Auto repair shop owner Zenop Tuncer of Euro Tech Motors was shocked to learn that a vehicle he purchased over the internet for a customer was one used by Adolf Hitler. Zenop discovered the Mercedes-Benz after investigating its storied history.

Speaking of the purchase Zenop said the customer “was surprised” by the discovery.

Tuncer’s car shop specializes in sourcing classic cars and went on the hunt for the Mercedes-Benz 540K for real estate developer Fred Daibes. Instead Tuncer found a 1942 Mercedes 320 Cabriolet D convertible which Daibes agreed to purchase in place of the 540K.

Tuncer said after realizing the vehicle looked like a military car he should have realized there was a chance its history was more than meets the eye.

As Tuncer explains it:

“The color is a flat black, and there are patches covering what would have been a place for the flag post and the siren. It’s definitely for a general.”

Tuncer discovered the vehicles history when he needed a few parts and contacted Mercedes-Benz with the serial number. The company asked him to look for a very small eagle with a swastika next to it, something Tuncer missed at first.

Mercedes-Benz had made eight custom vehicles for the Nazis and as it turned out that particular vehicle was one of those cars.

The car company says they get at least one Adolf Hitler car claim each year and they remain speculative at best regarding the claim.

If the car was actually owned by Adolf Hitler its value could immediately increase.

Heath and Deborah Campbell, two Nazi parents from New Jersey, have lost custody of their four children. Adolf Hitler Campbell, 6, Joycelynn Aryan Nation, 5, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeanne, 6, as well as their new born baby, Hons, were taken into state custody.

The Associated Press reports that the Nazi parents’ trouble started in 2009 when they tried to have a “Happy Birthday Hitler” cake made for their son. Shortly after the incident Hitler and his siblings were taken away. The couples latest child, Hons, was born in November 2011. He was taken into custody just hours after his birth.

The Campbells have been fighting since the incident to put their family back together but a Superior Court judge ruled today that they would not be allowed to regain custody of their children.

In 2010, a court ruled that Heath and Deborah Campbell deliberately put their kids in danger by giving them names associated with abuse and violence. The court also said that it was worried about Heath’s violent past and that he was abusing the children, something that Heath vehemently denied.

Heath Campbell said:

“These kids weren’t abused. Our kids weren’t taken because of abuse. I’m honest about who I am and what I am… If I have to give up my Nazism, then so be it. I’ll do it. [The children are] more my heart and soul and everything than anything.”

New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services spokeswoman Kristine Brown said:

“Every call or investigation that DYFS initiates at the end of the day is to determine if the child is at risk or in the midst of child abuse and neglect.”

Heath and Deborah have separated since the ordeal began in 2009.

Here’s a video about the case from the Associated Press.

What do you think? Is naming your child after Adolf Hitler abuse?

Adolf Hitler was a farting coke head who regularly took up to 28 drugs at a time according to a new document study which specifically examined the Nazi party leaders medical records.

According to his medical reports Hitler suffered from “uncontrollable flatulence” which was likely brought on by the constant regime of prescription and illicit drugs he used on a regular basis.

News of Hitler’s medical problems and drug addiction come just ahead of an auction in which his personal medical files will be handed off to the highest bidder. The Hitler medical records include X-rays of his skull, sketches of the inside of his cocaine-eroding nose and notes about “cleansing enemas.”

Apparently Hitler was even injected at one time with bull-testicle extract to give a boost to his libido.

Anyone interested in owning the strange collection of medical documents should check out Alexander Historical Auctions.

Also included with Adolf Hitler’s medical records are tests performed on the Nazi leader and notes compiled from the work of six chief physicians. While there is no official report regarding Hitler’s cocaine use, one of his regular doctors wrote in an unofficial note that Adolf frequently used cocaine to “clear” his sinuses” and “soothe” his throat. The note says Hitler also used cocaine simply because it made him happy.

The medical documents are expected to fetch upwards of $2,000 each, in the meantime if you can’t afford to purchase them you can live happily knowing that Adolf Hitler was a coke-head with a farting problem.

After Osama bin Laden’s compound was raided and the al-Qaeda leader killed by U.S. Navy Seals, materials discovered at his hideout indicated that the terrorist mastermind was in the process of plotting the assassinations of General David Petraeus and President Barack Obama, regardless of his dwindling number of capable operatives.

Terabytes of data were quickly acquired during the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  After analyzing the data, a senior U.S. counter-terrorism official with first-hand knowledge shared with NBC News a rare briefing which will be aired Tuesday at 10 p.m. (ET), the official spoke under condition of anonymity. The rare briefing on the raid of Osama’s compound is reflected in the Discovery Channel documentary Inside bin Laden’s Lair.

With recent reports indicating that al-Qaeda’s core leadership is merely a “shadow of its former self,” it appears as if Osama may have been pulling an Adolf Hitler, as he attempted to attack formidable targets without adequate support, much like Hitler’s ordering German divisions to attack Russian positions during the final days of World War II.

Navy Seals recovered ten hard drives, five computers, and more than one-hundred storage devices including thumb drives, discs, and DVDs.  Including duplicate files, the haul resulted in a harvest of between 10,000 and 15,000 documents and an additional 15,000 to 25,000 videos, MSNBC reported.

President Obama embarked on a surprise visit to Kabul, Afghanistan last night.  While on his trip, which marks the one year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death at the hands of Navy Seals Team 6, Obama will meet with Afghan president Hamid Karzai.  He is also expected to announce the signing of the Strategic Partnership Agreement, which will ensure that the United States continues to provide financial and military support to Afghanistan after the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Vienna, Austria – Neo-Nazi’s are going to have to find a new place to make a pilgrimage to these days.  The tombstone at the head of Adolf Hitler’s parent’s grave is being taken down.  A relative of the Hitlers requested that the tombstone be removed and the grave site sold to someone else.

Walter Brunner, mayor of Leonding village, said the stone with the photos of Alois and Klara Hitler was taken down Wednesday. Village priest Kurt Pitterschatscher said the rented grave was available for a new lease.

Austrian graves are usually leased for periods of 10 years. The lease is always renewable and usually passed on to friends and relatives.

Pitterschatscher was asked if people might be a little bit freaked out letting their loved ones share a grave with one of history’s worst dictators parents, Pitterschatscher said, “I really haven’t thought about it.”

Pitterschatscher said the stone and black marble marker, topped by a granite cross, was removed without ceremony by a stonemason hired an elderly female descendant of Alois Hitler’s first wife, Anna. He did not know the woman personally nor did he feel comfortable releasing her name but the relative had said she was too old to care for the grave anymore and she was tired of it “being used for manifestations of sympathy” for Hitler.

Hitler’s roots are in Braunau, near Leonding, which is commonly identified as his hometown. Leonding itself first assumed cult status for his followers after Hitler visited his parents’ grave and the nearby family house following the 1938 annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany.

Brunner, the mayor pf Leonding, said he was “happy with the decision,” to remove the tombstone and Eiter said most Leonding residents also supported it.

The Soviets discovered part of Hitler’s body after he had committed suicide in Berlin.  The fall of the Iron Curtain allowed archives with the body’s location to be opened.  While the skull and jaw of Hitler was kept n a Soviet lab, the body was buried along a Soviet Parade Route in East Germany. His remains were exhumed in the 1970s and incinerated. The ashes were flushed into the city’s sewage system.

Hitler’s Parents’ Gravestone To Be Removed is a post from: The Inquisitr

Adolf Hitler’s parents’ headstone was removed from their grave site on Wednesday, according to Walter Brunner, mayor of Leonding village, where the grave is located. The headstone, which bears a faded black and white picture of Alois and Klara Hitler, has been the site of neo-Nazi pilgrimage since Hitler’s death.

Village priest Kurt Pitterschatscher stated that the grave site is now available for a new lease, as Hitler’s parents will be moved to a new spot. This headstone removal and moving of their remains comes at the request of an unnamed relative, who is tired of seeing Nazi flags flying over the site.

Pitterschatscher went on to say that the marker was removed without a ceremony, simply by a stonemason hired by the relative, who removed the black marble marker, topped with a cross.

The relative has only been described as an elderly woman, descendant of Alois Hitler’s first wife, Anna. He explained that she had two reasons for terminating the lease on the grave, first that she was too old to care for it properly, and also because she was tired of it “being used for manifestations of sympathy” for Adolf Hitler.

In Austria, grave sites are leased for ten year periods, and usually the lease is willed to a member of the family. At the end of ten years, they can choose to renew the lease, or terminate it. In this case, the relative terminated the lease.

When asked if he thought people would even be interested in leasing the same spot, a spot that for so long has held the parents of a man who slaughtered 6 million people, Pitterschatscher stated, “I really haven’t thought about it.”

Robert Eiter, who works with the Upper Austrian Network against Racism and Right-Extremism, stated that the latest incident of neo-Nazi’s visiting the grave occurred on November first, when someone left an urn inscribed with “UnvergeSSlich.” The word means “unforgettable,” and capitalization alludes to Hitler’s SS troops.

It is likely that the neo-Nazis come to Adolf Hitler’s parents’ grave, because they cannot go to Hitler’s. Instead of being buried, when his body was found in the 1970s, it was incinerated and flushed through the sewer system of Magdeburg, Germany.

Headstone Removed From Hitler’s Parents’ Grave is a post from: The Inquisitr

Must people understood (but many disagreed with) why child services decided to take Adolf Hitler and his sisters JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie away from their parents Heath and Deborah Campbell. But why baby Hons? Hons was just 17-hours old when he was taken from his parents.

The New York Daily News identifies the new born child as Hons Campbell. Which, according to my knowledge, isn’t an offensive name. So why would the DYFS confiscate the child? Heath Campbell doesn’t understand why Hons was taken. Heath said:

“There’s no legal binding court order. It’s basically a kidnapping, but they use different terms.”

The Division of Youth and Family Service told the Express-Times that they were prohibited by law from providing information about the case. The Express-Times reports that guards were stationed outside of Deborah’s hospital room while she was in labor to make sure that the child had no contact with its mother.

Adolf Hitler and his two sisters were taken into custody in 2009. Deborah and Heath have been fighting to regain control of their children saying that the abuse charges are false and that their children were taken away solely because of their unusual names.

Heath and Deborah will have a court hearing today to find out if they can regain custody of Hons.

Do you think the DYFS was right to take custody of Hons? Should Adolf Hitler and his sister’s be returned to Heath and Deborah Campbell? It’s clear that Heath and Deborah Campbell have a strange affection for Nazi culture, but does that mean that they shouldn’t be allowed to be parents?

Adolf Hitler is one of the most evil men to ever walk the face of the planet. He also happens to be a little boy in New Jersey. Adolf Hitler Campbell was taken away from his parents in 2009 because welfare officials said that his name was a form of abuse.

And Adolf Hitler isn’t the only strange name in the Campbell family. Heath and Deborah Campbell named their daughter JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell. But is an offensive name reason enough to divide a family?

Here’s a news report filmed shortly after Adolf Hitler was taken away from his parents.

Yahoo! News reports that the Campbells are fighting to get their children back. The Campbell’s say that Adolf Hitler was wrongfully taken away since there was no evidence of abuse.

Heath said:

“The judge and [the Division of Youth and Family Services) told us that there was no evidence of abuse and that it was the names. They were taken over the children’s names.”

Ms. Campbell added:

“I don’t sleep, I don’t eat much. I miss my kids. Miss their pitter patters on the floor.”

The Campbell’s insist that they are not neo-Nazi supporters, despite the fact that their home is decorated with swastikas. But even if the Campbells are neo-Nazis, does that mean that they aren’t allowed to have children?

If Gwenyth Paltrow can name her daughter Apple. If Jason Lee can name his son Pilot Inspektor. If Bob Geldof can name his kids Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Little Trixie, and Honeyblossom, then why can’t the Campbells name their son Adolph?

Why can this dad dress this kid like this?

Kids are going to be subjected to all of their parents beliefs and flaws. Whether the parents are Nazis, uber-christian preachers, extreme right nut jobs, or liberal lefty pot heads, they have the right to raise their children how they choose. Right?

Or does naming your kid Adolf Hitler cross a line?
