28. Hitler’s Last Surviving Relatives Settled in Long Island
After the war, William Patrick Hitler changed his last name to Stuart-Houston, married, and settled in Long Island, NY. There, he opened a medical laboratory, which analyzed blood samples for area hospitals. He strove for anonymity and avoided drawing attention to his family history. He died in 1987, survived by four sons. Three of his sons never married, and the one who did died in a car accident, leaving behind no children, giving rise to rumors of a pact to end the Hitler bloodline. However, as one of William Patrick’s sons put it, things just ended up that way, without any deliberate design.
