  One of her neighbors in Buenos Aires, a wealthy woman, is in the habit of throwing parties every Thursday night. At one of these parties Maria met a young English engineer named Adams who was on a brief visit to Argentina. Maria did not connect the young Englishman with the Adams of her childhood. The couple were attracted to one another, eventually fell in love, and became engaged.

  Her fiancé wrote to his parents telling them of the engagement and enclosed a picture of the bride-to-be.

  His mother wrote back: “Your father was delighted to hear you were engaged to be married to such a beautiful girl, but when he looked at her photo he suffered a heart attack.”

  A Terrible Setback

  Some weeks later Maria, whose life has been constantly subjected to the outward buffets of fate, found that her romance was over. Adams had broken the engagement without explanation. Now, more than ever she is determined to prove her birthright.

  Maria is convinced that the Adams of her childhood was only interested in her in his capacity as some kind of official guardian. There was never any show of affection or any sign of a blood relationship between them. She is convinced that Adams was a special agent who was employed to look after her.

  How does Maria’s story fit into the pattern of Hitler’s private life?

  Eva Braun was a shapely, blue-eyed blonde of 19 when she first met Hitler in Salzburg in the late 1920’s. Eva, who looked a lot like Maria does today, was employed as secretary to Heinrich Hoffman, official photographer for the Nazi Party and later Hitler’s personal photographer.

  Adolf was impressed with the young Bavarian beauty. The daughter of a Munich school teacher, Eva was a typical “girl of the people.” as Hitler liked to refer to her in later years.

  Eva left her job with Hoffman, at Hitler’s suggestion, and toured Germany with him as he went from one secret Nazi party meeting to another. As the party grew in power, Hitler’s fortunes skyrocketed and he showered Eva with furs, jewels, an expensive car and a village in Munich a short drive from his own palatial mountain fortress in Berchtesgaden. Hitler gave Eva everything, but marriage.

  Because of his ambitions. Hitler was shy of marriage. Therefore, he could have no children. He was determined to maintain a facade of respectable bachelorhood.

  It is known that Hitler twice forced Eva to submit to abortions. Veteran political observers believe that before she was subjected to these dangerous operations she had already borne him one child—the fruit of their early love—and had been forced to abandon it. Maria Lorento now claims to be that child.

  Photographs found in Eva Braun’s personal album show Hitler with two children—a boy and a girl. Hitler told his associates that the children belonged to one of Eva’s friends—but obviously the Fuehrer was the father.

  When Russian Field Marshal Gregory Zhukov asked German General Hans Kreb why Hitler had married Eva just before the capitulation of Berlin, the German replied:

  “He married Fraulein Braun so that their children would be legitimate.”

  What became of the children?

  It is known that the two youngest children were taken out of Portugal and that their ultimate destination was Argentina.

  And that is where Maria Lorento went to live with a Spanish family who “adopted” her.

  Somehow, there always seems to have been a hidden guardian looking after Maria.

  What is the truth behind Maria’s strange story?

  Somewhere in the world, there are people who can supply the missing documentary evidence that Maria Lorento is, in fact, Hitler’s daughter. Maria prays that anyone with such evidence comes forward to help her. At stake is $20 million!

  THE TRUE CASE OF ADOLF HITLER’S SISTERS

  by HARVEY WILSON

  Exclusively revealed! The story of Hitler’s heirs and the $20 million fortune they’ll fight over!

  Far across the Atlantic, in the Bavarian Alpine town of Berchtesgaden, lives a frail, little old lady who dreams of inheriting one of the most famous fortunes in the world. Through the rear window of her tiny room she can see the Obersalzberg, the towering mountain on whose peak her brother built his favorite retreat. For the little old lady is Paula Wolf, her brother was Adolf Hitler, and the fortune to which she lays claim is the 20-odd million dollars of Hitler’s estate.

  The 63-year-old sister of the man who was once the Master of Europe, who boasted that his Third Reich “would endure for a 1000 years,” lives in abject poverty. She is on the German equivalent of relief, marking ends meet on a weekly check of only $4. What sustains her spirit is the hope that one day the German courts will acknowledge her as the rightful heir to Adolf Hitler’s wealth.

  The legal contest between Paula Wolf and the West German government has been going on for years. The government’s contention is that no positive proof of Hitler’s death exists. Even though the world believes that the German dictator shot and killed himself in his underground bunker in Berlin shortly before the Russian armies entered the capital, the hard-headed German courts refuse to issue a death certificate for a corpse which they claim does not exist. And so, in terms of strict legality, the German government takes the position that Adolf Hitler is still alive!

  Austria Gets $660,000 Painting

  Only once was officialdom willing to depart from this contention. At the request of the Austrian government, the Berchtesgaden courts issued a death certificate for Hitler. Their reasoning then was based on the claim of Count Jaromis Czernin-Morgan who testified that Hitler’s henchmen has “liberated” a valuable painting from his castle.

  The painting called “The Artist in His Studio” was an indisputable masterpiece valued at $660,000 which the fanatical Nazis presented to the Fuehrer as a love offering. Upon issuance of the Austrian death certificate, Count Czernin-Morgan’s claim was allowed and the painting returned to him.

  But whether it is justice or not, so much odium still surrounds the Hitler name, so bitterly is he execrated as a misleader who cost the German nation millions of lives, that Paula Wolf’s suit languishes in the dust of obscure files.

  Her Secret Plan

  This younger sister’s one real hope of gaining her brother’s fortune must mark time until 1960. By that date Hitler will have been “missing” for 15 years; after such time he may be declared legally dead and her attorneys can petition that Paula be proclaimed his rightful heiress.

  Meanwhile, Paula keeps to her tiny furnished room and prays that justice will be done her. She occupies herself by pecking out on a dilapidated typewriter a memoir of her notorious brother. Though they were never close (besides Eva Braun, Hitler’s only intimates were his political associates), Paula insists that her brother was good to her. Once he achieved power, Hitler sent her a monthly allowance of $200, and always remembered Christmas with a gift of a Westphalian ham and a check for at least $1000. That he insisted she change her name from Hitler because “there should be only one Hitler in the world” she excuses on the grounds that it was an act of political necessity.

  Ever since her brother’s death, Paula has lived on the sharp edge of extreme poverty. Her home, as we said, is one room in a squalid flat in the poorer section of Berchtesgaden. The neighbors’ wash is hung out to dry on the balconies of the building and the ragged children who play in the streets are often barefoot. She sighs as she remembers the days when she was pointed out with respect as the baby sister of the most powerful man in the world.

  At 63, Paula Hitler is small, wrinkled and gray—a grandmotherly type to whom the past seems more real than the drab present. Her room is furnished with a bed, a large wardrobe for her clothes, a glass cabinet containing a picture of her mother Klara (“the only photograph of the family I have”), a small gas range and stove, a table with a water pitcher and a corner washstand.

  Adolf as a Boy

  She reminisces about her fiery brother through the rose-colored glasses of family sentiment. To her he was no monster who sought to destroy the Jewish people, who spilled more blood perhaps
than any other man in history, but—“Adolf was kind to me when Father died. He took me to my first opera ‘Lohengrin.’ But he made me stick to my studies and keep my grades in school up.

  “When we were children he would tell me that if anyone was unkind to me he would protect me. Once I told him that a boy had called me cruel names. He took me back to school to find the boy and punish him.”

  When asked if she ever thought her brother would become Fuehrer, Paula replied: “No. We were a poor family and that was too much to expect. But,” she added with a dominant note of pride in her voice, “Adolf always had to be the leader among his boy friends. Whatever he set out to do, he wouldn’t give up. And even as a boy he always knew what he wanted.”

  Paula never married. Perhaps her early memories of the unhappy household she and her brother were raised in affected this decision. Now, old and nearly forgotten, Paula Hitler bides her time in her tiny Berchtesgaden room, hoping that the German nation will remember that she never took any part in politics.

  The secrets of Hitler’s early childhood is being unfolded in the memoirs Paula is now writing. Adolf always resented his father, a Custom Official, who led a charmed life. His father Alois, was married three time, had seven children, including one illegitimate and two children born shortly after marriage. Adolf did not inherit his father’s sex drive, in fact because of his father’s own past, he was conditioned negatively.

  Adolf’s mother was the third wife of Alois and was 23 years younger than her husband. His father was 50 years old when Adolf was born. He was the third child, the two other children, Gustav and Ida, having died in infancy. His sister, Paula, was born 7 years later.

  His mother was a kindly, accommodating woman, who was a domestic servant when she met and married the dashing Alois.

  One question that has been asked is why Adolf never had anything social to do with his half-brother Alois (who carried the father’s name) and was an issue of the second marriage. During Adolf’s reign, his half-brother operated a small lunchroom in Hamburg, completely ignored by his half-brother.

  The answer is simple. Adolf never actually got to know his half-brother. They went through life virtually strangers. Hitler’s father died in 1903 from lung trouble and his mother supported both he and Paula on the pension paid the widow of a custom official. When Hitler was sixteen, having failed at school, he went to live with an aunt, in order to ease the burden of his mother’s meager income.

  In the meantime, his mother was dying of breast cancer. Paula remained at her bedside taking care of her. Adolf would return periodically to see her, but after she died in 1908, Adolf packed his bags and went to Vienna to seek an art career. He told Paula, “You will not hear from me again until I succeed!”

  His Half-Sister

  Once Hitler became a political figure, he became close to a half-sister, Angela, from his father’s second marriage. She needed a job and Adolf employed her as his housekeeper. She had been widowed and was having a difficult time supporting herself and a pretty daughter, Geli.

  Here, Adolf showed a trait inherited from his father. He fell in love with Geli, his niece, who was 18 years old, 22 years younger than he. The strain of her romance with her uncle depressed her and in 1931, when he was riding to political heights, she committed suicide in Adolf’s Munich apartment.

  But this didn’t dim his relationship with his half-sister, Angela, who continued as his housekeeper and made a very successful marriage to a prominent doctor after Adolf came into power.

  His friendship with Angela was the only close relationship he had in the family.

  Paula was always in his distant past. She lived in Austria and saw him seldom. Only on two occasions was she welcomed at the Reich chancery offices of the Fuehrer, the only contact was the monthly allowance he gave her.

  But now, as his only full sister she is entitled to his estate, she contends.

  Paula’s memoirs will cover Hitler’s early life. The stern discipline his father exercised and his determined efforts to prepare Adolf for a job as a Civil Servant in the Custom Office, which he strenuously objected, the encouragement his mother gave him to become an artist, which infuriated his father.

  HITLER WAS A JEW!

  by HARVEY WILSON

  Here, disclosed for the very first time, is fantastic proof that Adolf Hitler, the bloodthirsty executioner of over five million Jews, had Jewish ancestors!

  How far will a man go to hide his true identity?

  The answer lies above a neglected and long forgotten grave in a small Jewish cemetery in Bucharest, Rumania. The words etched in the cracked slab of limestone have dulled with the years, but a finely carved Star of David remains as sharp and clear as it was that day in 1892, when Adolf Hitler was laid to rest. Why is this tombstone, embedded in foreign earth, of any importance to the world?

  It wouldn’t be—if there had never been a maniacal killer who dreamed of ruling the world by fire and hate. The tombstone is of importance only because it proves that Germany’s onetime dictator, Adolph Hitler—was a descendant of Jewish ancestors.

  Hitler, the onetime paper hanger who signed the death warrants for more than 6 million Jews exterminated in concentration camps, gas chambers and ovens, was obsessed with the fact that Jewish blood flowed through his “pure,” Germanic veins.

  The secret that haunted Adolf Hitler was that he had inherited Jewish blood from his great, great, great grandfather, Stephan Hiedler, who was born in Walterschlag, in Upper Austria, in 1672.

  Over the years the spelling of the ancestral surname evolved from Hiedler to Hittler (Germanic spelling is Huttler) and finally Hitler.

  The Hitler clan was first founded in a region of Austria that lies between Czechoslovakia and the Danube. Because of its geographical location, this part of Austria was the gateway for thousands of Jewish immigrants fleeing political and religious persecution during the 15th and 16th Centuries.

  During this period both Bohemia and Moravia teemed with religious strife. In Bohemia, the Roman Catholic Church became divided with a group leaving to form a splinter group called Utraquists. The Utraquists, in turn, split among themselves with one segment compromising with the Lutherans, thus enabling Bohemian Protestantism to receive official status. From these conflicts sprang the Moravian Church.

  In Silesia, the horrors of The Thirty Years War (1618–48) left the nation in famine and embroiled in religious conflict.

  Settle in Austria

  Under this political and religious climate many of the Jews from Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia crossed the border into Austria. And a few, like the Hiedlers, settled in the Waldviertal district villages in upper Austria, while others continued their 50-mile trek to Vienna.

  Among the Jews who continued on to Vienna was the family of the “Adolf Hittler” buried in the Bucharest, Rumania, Jewish cemetery. His tombstone records the fact that he died in 1892 at the age of 60, and came originally from Austria.

  Many of the Jews who settled in the Upper Austria region, soon lost their religious identity and intermarried. Stephan Heidler whose parents had settled in this region, married a Christian woman. Their son, Johann, married a Catholic who gave birth to a boy they named Martin. It was Martin who changed the spelling of the family surname to Hittler.

  Martin Hittler married Anna Maria Goschl, and they had two children, both boys. One was Johann Nepomuk Hittler and the other Johann Georg Hiedler (who used the old spelling of the family name).

  Johann Georg Hiedler was a miller who never stayed too long at any one place. He travelled throughout Upper and Lower Austria. In the village of Strones he became involved with a peasant girl, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, and carried on a lengthy love affair with her.

  In 1837, Maria Anna Schicklgruber gave birth to an illegitimate son, Alois, who was destined to become the father of Adolf Hitler.

  Five years after Alois’ birth, his mother married her lover, but they did not legitimize Alois and he continued to be known by his mother’s maiden nam
e of Schicklgruber.

  It wasn’t until 1876, that Johann George Hiedler, then a man of 84, officially testified in the town of Weitra, in Upper Austria, that he was the father of Alois Schicklgruber. This enabled Alois, then a man close to 40, to legally change his name to that of his father. Instead of spelling it Hiedler, he chose to spell it as Hitler.

  During Hitler’s rise to political power, his opponents tacked a barbed reference to his background by calling him “Schicklgruber.” Before Adolf was born, his father Alois had produced one son out of wedlock and married his second wife three months before a daughter was born.

  Adolf’s mother was the third wife of Alois and was 23 years younger than her husband. His father was 50 years old when Adolf was born at Braunau, Austria, in 1889. He was the third child of this marriage, the two other children, Gustav and Ida, having died in infancy. His sister, Paula, who is still alive and resides in the town of Berchtesgaden, was born 7 years later.

  His mother, whose maiden name was Klara Polzl, was a kindly, accommodating woman, who was a domestic servant when she met and married the dashing Alois on January 7, 1885.

  Hitler’s father, who was a minor Customs official, died in 1903 and his mother died of breast cancer five years later.

  Hitler Also Opposed Catholic Church

  Adolf was raised as a Catholic. He attended the school of a Benedictine monastery at Lambach for two years, then left. Although Hitler was vocal in his anti-Semitism, he also harbored a hatred for the Catholic Church.

  His early political idol was Georg Ritter von Schoenerer, who was the founder of the Pan-German movement in Austria and came from the same district in Upper Austria where Adolf was born. Schoenerer was violently anti-Catholic and openly attacked the Catholic Church, which brought about powerful opposition against his political movement.

  In later years, Hitler admitted that he was a staunch supporter of Schoenerer’s and agreed with all his views. He also admitted that he learned some important political lessons from Schoenerer’s failure: among them that an open attack on the Catholic Church creates too great a split to bridge.
