No, he wasn't
- stephenhuey 6y agoHe’s referring to the idea that Hitler may have been a quarter Jewish. Not sure where this study from 10 years ago ended up: https://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had-jewish-and-african-ancestors https://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had... There were a lot of articles about that and here’s a recent one: https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was-a-quarter-jewish-597966 https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was...
- throwaway2048 6y agoQuestionable evidence that his grandmother might have had an illegitimate child with a Jewish man is a long way from "Hitler was jewish" Not to mention this is standard ahistorical conspiracy theory fare.
- stephenhuey 6y agoIt’s fine to point out it’s questionable. Both of you were just throwing at one-liners with no substance like you’re fighting on a playground. I rarely downvote and thought about downvoting him but I decided to search to see what he might be talking about. You didn’t even look at my links, otherwise you would’ve known the first one was talking about a DNA study. Yes, as far as I can see it was very much up in the air, but I don’t think I should be downvoted for explaining what he was referring to.
- paulie_a 6y agoThank you, I read the links and yes my absolute assertion may be wrong.

- koheripbal 6y agoIt doesn't seem to be working. ...much like the Reddit guidelines.
- paulie_a 6y agoYes he was. He had an entire city destroyed to attempt to hide that historical fact.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoIndeed, 'twas the city of Gralås, oft have I ambled it's cobbled streets in days gone by, smelling the sweet scent of the herb the soothsayers smoke thereon and listened to the ramblings of their visions. Once I loved a woman there, her skin was red as the fires of the volcano of Taris. Once I dueled with a man in the foggy morn at the royal park, I killed him, it was a fight over honor and I barely remember the particulars now. But all that is gone, destroyed years past, you sir, are a scholar of deep erudition to remember the name of Gralås in this degraded age.
