How and why it got started, and why it’s not
true
By Carolyn Yeager, March 2011
copyright 2011 Carolyn Yeager
The rumor that Adolf Hitler was the grandson of a Rothschild seems to
have been hatched in the mind of a crypto-Jewish propagandist working in the
United States’ first unified intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS). Not long after, a former high Nazi official, waiting for his
execution, “confessed” to discovering a “Jewish grandfather” in Hitler’s
background. These fabrications have been thoroughly debunked, and the true
story of Hitler’s family background is told below.
Background
information about Walter Langer and the OSS
The OSS was
formed at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, from advice given to
him by Canadian/British spymaster William Stephenson, aka “Intrepid,” who had
been conducting British intelligence in the western hemisphere since 1939.
Roosevelt asked William J. Donovan to draft a plan for an intelligence service.
Donovan had functioned as an informal emissary to Britain for Roosevelt during
1940-41, assigned to gauge Britain's ability to succeed against Germany. In
this role, he met with directors of Britain's intelligence services, and even
with Winston Churchill. Donovan was appointed as the "Coordinator of
Information" in July 1941. In June 1942, the OSS was established by
Presidential military order. Its job was to collect and analyze strategic
information required by and useful to the Joint Chiefs, and to conduct special
operations not assigned to other agencies.* Since the FBI, the Army and
Navy jealously guarded their areas of responsibility, the reach of the OSS was
limited to what it could find in the way of new opportunities for espionage
that weren’t already being served by the former-named
departments. *Italics used throughout are my added
emphasis - cy
William
L. Langer was
recruited during the war to work for the new OSS. Taking leave from his
position as head of the History Dept. at Harvard Univ., he became head of the
Research and Analysis Section of the OSS. He must have had something to do with
bringing his brother Walter into his section, since Walter’s main
accomplishment was a psychological analysis of Adolf Hitler.
Walter
Langer was a
psychoanalyst with a PhD but not an M.D.; he was the first person admitted to
the American Psychiatric Association without a medical degree. Imagine that!
The brothers were the sons of German immigrants to the U.S. No religion is ever
given for either, increasing the likelihood the family was Jewish but did not
want to advertise that fact. Langer is a common Ashkanazi Jewish and
German name. For instance, there is a Rabbi Samuel
Langer, well known on the U.S. east coast who died in 1969, and
David Langer, a Jewish soldier in the Polish Army whose picture was taken in 1929.
At the end
of the war, William was appointed special assistant for intelligence analysis
to the U.S. Secretary of State, James F. Byrnes. In 1950, William Langer
organized the office of National Estimates in the newly established Central
Intelligence Agency [CIA], the successor of the OSS. He returned to Harvard in
the 1950’s, but from 1961 to 1977 he served on the President’s Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board [from the Kennedy through Ford administrations]. In
his book Diplomacy of Imperialism [1956], he argued against a “genocide”
of the Armenians on the grounds their revolutionary leaders provoked the Turks
into it.1

the schnoz on both these brothers.
Langer’s
“Psychological Profile of Adolf Hitler”
Walter was
given the task by Donovan in 1943 of preparing a brief psychological and
psychoanalytical profile of Hitler. But Langer wanted to do something more
monumental. Without the opportunity to meet or speak with Hitler himself,
Langer turned to disgruntled ex-National Socialists and others who had fallen
out with Hitler, and to his tribal animosity for the Third Reich and knowledge
of psycho-babble. For example, he wrote in his Preface:
The
material available for such an analysis is extremely scant and spotty.
Fortunately, we have at our disposal a number of informants who knew
Hitler well and who have been willing to cooperate to the best of their
abilities.
Reading
this profile, it becomes obvious it can only have been written by a Jew. The
peculiar hatred, bias and ridicule are of the type that only Jews express
against their enemies. Donovan must have been disappointed and considered the
report useless since it was full of inaccuracies and full-blown lies … a work
of fantasy and Freudian psycho-speak, liberally layered with overt sexual
imagery and speculations. With no basis whatsoever, Langer writes:
… a
number of informants have commented on [Hitler’s] delight in witnessing
strip-tease and nude dancing numbers on the stage. On such occasions he can
never see enough to satisfy him even though he uses opera glasses in order to
observe more closely. Strip-tease artists are frequently invited to the Brown
House, in Munich, to perform in private and there is evidence that he often
invites girls to Berchtesgaden for the purpose of exhibiting their bodies. On
his walls are numerous pictures of obscene nudes which conceal nothing and he
takes particular delight in looking through a collection of pornographic
pictures which Hoffmann has made for him. […] In addition to the eyes, the anal
region has also become highly sexualised and both faeces and buttocks become
sexual objects. Due to early toilet training, certain inhibitions have been set
up which prevent their direct expression. […] We may, therefore, regard
Hitler's perversion as a compromise between psychotic tendencies to eat faeces
and drink urine on the one hand, and to live a normal socially adjusted life on
the other. The compromise is not, however, satisfactory to either side of his
nature and the struggle between these two diverse tendencies continues to rage
unconsciously.
No kidding!
And even worse—all from rumor, hearsay and Langer’s own sick Jewish mind. It
descends into pornography for many pages, almost half the report. What of any
value can have been gained thereby for the OSS?
Showing how
Langer went way beyond the task that was assigned to him, the following passage
is reminiscent of some other writings from that time [such as Germany Must
Perish! by American Jew Theodore Kaufman] that sought to condemn the German
nation as a whole for massive evil, and along with it, the entire “civilized
world.”
It was not only Hitler, the madman,
who created German madness, but German madness which created Hitler. Having
created him as its spokesman and leader, it has been carried along by his
momentum, perhaps far beyond the point where it was originally prepared to go.
Nevertheless, it continues to follow his lead in spite of the fact that it must
be obvious to all intelligent people now that his path leads to inevitable
destruction. From a scientific point of view, therefore, we are forced to
consider Hitler, the Fuehrer, not as a personal devil, wicked as his actions
and philosophy may be, but as the expression of a state of mind existing in millions
of people, not only in Germany but, to a smaller degree, in all civilized
countries. To remove Hitler may be a necessary first step, but it would not be
the cure. It would be analogous to curing an ulcer without treating the
underlying disease. If similar eruptions are to be prevented in the future, we
cannot content ourselves with simply removing the overt manifestations of the
disease. On the contrary, we must ferret out and seek to correct the underlying
factors which produced the unwelcome phenomenon. We must discover the
psychological streams which nourish this destructive state of mind in order
that we may divert them into channels which will permit a further evolution of our
form of civilization.
“Our form of civilization” meaning
Jewish-American form of civilization? This is exactly what they know we
need to do to Jews in order to save ourselves … to “ferret out the underlying
factors” that are bringing about our destruction. In this OSS profile, there
was no mention of a Jewish grandfather for Hitler. But the idea must have been
forming to Langer, because toward the end of the “psychological analysis”
section of his report, he suddenly invents “Jewish Godparents” for Hitler. His
tendency to speculate on pet theories is working overtime when he writes:
We know that he had very little
money when he left Linz, certainly not enough to live on for almost an entire
year while he spent his time in painting. Since the date of his mother's death
has been so universally distorted (? don’t know what he means by this; the date
was always Dec. 1907-cy), it would seem that efforts were being made to cover
something which happened during this intervening year. My guess would be
that he lived with his Jewish godparents 2
who supported him while he was preparing work for the Academy. When he failed
to be admitted at the end of a year, they put him out and made him go to work.
There is one bit of evidence for this hypothesis. Hanisch
3, in his
book, mentions in passing that when they were particularly destitute he went
with Hitler to visit a well-to-do Jew whom Hitler said was his father. The
wealthy Jew would have nothing to do with him and sent him on his way again.
There is scarcely a possibility that Hitler's father was a Jew, but Hanisch might
easily have understood him to say father when he said godfather. This would
certainly make much more sense and would indicate that Hitler had contact with
his godparents before the visit and that they were fed up with him and would
help him no further.
The Rothschild story appears …
In 1972, Langer published a
lengthier, revised version of his profile in book form, titled The Mind of
Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report. It contained a forward by brother William, and an
afterword by the “psychoanalytic historian” Robert G.L. Waite. In the book, Langer adds some new allusions to
Jewish superiority in speaking of Adolf’s father:
Alois’ intelligence and behavior
were beyond what can be expected from an Austrian family of peasants and more
suitable to a linage of highly educated Jews.
This is prologue to his theory of a
Rothschild paternity, admitting even as he puts it forth that it lacks
credibility:
There are
some people who seriously doubt that Johann Georg Hiedler was the father of
Alois. Thyssen and Koehler, for example, claim that [Austrian]
Chancellor Dollfuss had ordered the Austrian police to conduct a thorough
investigation into the Hitler family. As a result of this investigation a
secret document was prepared that proved that Maria Anna Schicklgruber was
living in Vienna at the time she conceived. At that time she was employed as a
servant in the home of Baron Rothschild. As soon as the family discovered her
pregnancy she was sent back to her home in Spital where Alois was born. If
it is true that one of the Rothschilds is the real father of Alois Hitler,
it would make Adolf a quarter Jew. According to these sources, Adolf Hitler
knew of the existence of this document and the incriminating evidence it
contained. In order to obtain it he precipitated events in Austria and
initiated the assassination of Dollfuss. According to this story, he
failed to obtain the document at that time since Dollfuss had secreted it and
had told Schuschnigg of its whereabouts so that in the event of his death the
independence of Austria would remain assured. Several stories of this general
character are in circulation.4
First, the “secret document” has
never been seen, and no doubt never existed. The best one can find on
anti-Hitler conspiracy sites is that it is “now in the hands of the British
Secret Service.” And, of course, they’re not releasing it.
Second, the political putsch attempt
by Austrian National Socialists, not under Hitler’s control in any way, that occurred
in Vienna in 1934 was not instigated by Hitler; in fact, he was displeased by
the attempt and the bad impression it created.
Third, Dollfuss may have searched
into Hitler’s family line, but the Baron Rothschild part is totally
unbelievable. There are no records showing Maria Anna Schickelgruber registered
as a domestic servant in Vienna, ever, something that was required at the time.
Langer admits this is just one of several “stories,” i.e. rumors, in
circulation. He concludes that “it is sounder not to base our reconstruction on
such slim evidence but to seek firmer foundations.” Yet he repeats these
baseless rumors for the very purpose of keeping such rumors alive.
Robert G.L. Waite, who wrote the afterword for
Langer’s book, was a Canadian self-styled “psychohistorian,” with a specialty
in Adolf Hitler, who authored his own psycho-bio, Adolf Hitler: The
Psychopathic God, published in 1977. Waite, who gained his psychiatric
‘insight’ from the extended treatment he received for depression he suffered
since his university days, and was known for stubbornness and acting out
emotionally in public, found Langer’s theories provocative, even if wrong.
He wrote: "But even when Langer is mistaken and his guesses prove
incorrect, he is often on the right track."
Consider his hint that Hitler's grandfather might
have been a Jew. There is no reason to believe the unlikely story told
by Langer's informant that Hitler's grandmother Maria Anna Schicklgruber, a
peasant woman in her forties from the Waldvietral of rural Austria, had had an
intimate liason with a Baron Rothschild in Vienna.
Above:
Family resemblance? Not a bit, yet some imagine it. This photo comparison is
found on Internet sites as evidence of Hitler’s Rothschild lineage!
…and the
Frankenberger story
In place of
Langer’s failed rumors, Waite posits another false story of a different “Jewish
grandfather” that had also been “circulating” for years, to wit that Hitler's
paternal grandmother had been working as a cook in the household of a Jewish
man named Leopold Frankenberger before she gave birth to Hitler's father out of
wedlock.
But Hitler
had worried that he might be blackmailed over a Jewish grandfather and ordered
his private lawyer, Hans Frank, to investigate his paternal lineage. Frank told
the Fuehrer that his grandmother had become pregnant while working as a
domestic servant in a Jewish household in Graz.
The facts
of this matter are in dispute - and a very lengthy dispute it has been. The
point of overriding psychological and historical importance is not whether it
is true that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather, but whether he believed that it
might be true.
Waite then
lies when he writes: "He did so believe and the fact shaped both his
personality and his public policy."
No, Hitler
did not believe it, and in fact Hans Frank’s entire story is false, an
invention made up in the mind of a condemned man under pressure to “clear his
conscience.” There was no blackmail letter from Hitler’s nephew Patrick and
there was no Frankenberger family living in Graz.
The
American Jewish psychologist G. M. Gilbert was sent to Europe as a military
intelligence officer and was appointed prison psychologist for the German
prisoners. He later wrote in his book Nuremberg Diary on p.19: “He
[Hans Frank] and Albert Speer were the only defendants to show any true remorse
for their war crimes …” He should also have said they were the only two who
spoke ill of Adolf Hitler in retrospect, the former in hopes to clear himself
before God, the latter in hopes to clear his reputation before his new earthly
rulers.

Below is an
accurate genealogic chart from Familypedia.com.
The only addition that needs to be made is to link Maria Anna Schicklgruber and
Johann Nepomuk Hüttler as having an extra-marital liason which resulted in the
child Alois Schicklgruber in 1837 (see Werner Maser, below). But in all other
aspects, it conforms to the research done and accepted by all historians and
genealogists. There are no Jews or Jewish connections at all.
Werner
Maser, a German
historian and author of several serious books on Hitler, was described in his
obituary in the London Times as “one of the first
German historians to treat the Nazi period as a field of academic research.”5
This is
borne out in his exceedingly thorough job of tracing Adolf Hitler’s family
background and lineage in his book, Hitler: Legend, Myth and Reality,
published in German in 1971, in English in 1973. He concludes that Hitler’s
paternal grandfather was Johann Nepomuk Hüttler, a German farmer living in
Spital, in the Waldviertel region in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This book
and the information it contains has been available for 40 years, yet conspiracy
theorists who want to believe Hitler was a Rothschild or simply a
part-Jew ignore it. Maser’s investigation included personal trips to look
through church and baptismal records, interviewing relatives, heirs,
school-fellows and childhood friends. In the attic of one of Hitler’s cousins,
he discovered material which biographers had been seeking for half a century,
including large numbers of letter and notes in Hitler’s own hand.

Maser
FINDINGS
OF WERNER MASER
1. It
is undisputed that Adolf Hitler was born to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl.
Alois, however, was born Schicklgruber because his mother, Maria Anna
Schicklgruber was unmarried. [Not an unusual occurrence in Austrian villages at
that time.]
2. Maria
Anna Schicklgruber was not a poor housemaid who worked for wealthy Jewish
families. The daughter of Johann Schicklgruber, a prosperous farmer in
possession of a well-appointed farm in the village of Strones, and Theresia
Pfseisinger, she was born in 1795 and is described by Maser as a thrifty,
reserved and exceptionally shrewd peasant woman. She gives every appearance of
having been strong-minded, a trait that was passed down to her son Alois and
her grandson, Adolf.
3. Maria
Anna Schicklgruber’s brother, Jakob, purchased the family farm from his father
for 3000 gulden when the father was only 53 years old. Maria’s mother,
Theresia, had just inherited 210 gulden from her father’s total estate of 1054
gulden, so the parents felt prosperous enough to retire. To put the value of
3000 gulden in perspective: a cow at that time could be purchased for 10 to 12
gulden; a brood sow cost 4 gulden; a bed w/bedding was 2 gulden; an inn with
stabling could be had for 450 to 500 gulden. As you can see, 3000 gulden was a
substantial amount.
4. Maria
Anna, at the age of 26, inherited 74.25 gulden at the death of her mother in
1821. She kept this sum in the Orphans’ Fund until 1838, earning 5% interest.
By then, it had increased to 165 gulden, over double the original amount. Her
son was not born until June 1837 when she was 42 yrs. old.
5. She
refused to reveal the name of her child’s father, even though the priest wanted
her to do so. Thus, the child could only be given her name. This strong-willed
woman did marry, in 1842—five years after the birth of her son—a man named
Johann Georg Hiedler of the village of Spital. If he were the father of Alois,
Maria Anna would certainly have named him such when they married and
legitimized her son, but she did not. That entry was made in the baptismal
register at Döllersheim where they married, but not until ten years after her
death! The one responsible for it was Hiedler’s younger brother, Johann Nepomuk
Hüttler, in whose household young Alois went to live at the age of 5 years,
after his mother’s marriage to Hiedler.6
6. So … we have Maria Anna Schicklgruber Heidler’s
illegitimate son Alois going to live in the household of his new stepfather’s
brother—his ‘uncle.’ Maser explains it this way: Hiedler, at this time 50 years
old and never before married, may have resented and/or been irritated by the
presence of a young child who was not his. But more likely, Johann Nepomuk, a
much younger 35 years old, who was married at the time Alois was conceived,
could now welcome his son, as ‘nephew,’ into his family without his wife
becoming suspicious.
7. All
reports are, according to Maser, that Alois was happy in his ‘uncle’s’ home
where he had ‘cousins’ and a more lively family life than he experienced living
with his 47-year-old mother and her new husband.
8. Maria
Anna Hiedler died in 1847 at the age of only 52. Alois did not, on his own
initiative, seek legal legitimacy. His birth status did not hamper his career,
in which he rose to what was considered the very respectable position of a
Customs official; nor did it appear to trouble him personally. He was known as
a tolerant, modern thinker, not particularly religious. His second wife
Franziska Matzelsberger had a son born out of wedlock when he married her and
he accepted this son in his household. It wasn’t until sometime between 1874
and 1876 that he changed his name to Hitler. Hitler is almost identical in
sound to Hüttler.
9. It was
in 1876 that Franz Schicklgruber, administrator of his sister Maria Anna’s
estate, made over to his nephew Alois 230 gulden. It was now that Alois signed
his name “Hitler,” spelling it just slightly differently than Hüttler. Maser
comments that the Schicklgruber family was no doubt proud of how well Alois had
done for himself and saw to it that he got the bulk of the inheritance of his
mother.
10.
Rothschild and Frankenberger Jew paternity is ruled out on the grounds of there
being no evidence Maria Anna Schicklgruber ever worked for a Jewish
family in Graz or Vienna.
11. The
Jew Frankenberger story: Hans Frank, who became Govenor General of Poland
from 1939 to 1945, is responsible for the false story, with the help of an
American army chaplain Sixtus O’Conner, written before Frank was put to death
by the Nuremberg IMT [International Military Tribunal]. He concocted a story
that Maria Anna Schicklgruber worked as a cook in the household of a Jewish
family in Graz, Austria at the time she gave birth to her son. In his ‘report,’
this family had a 19 yr-old son. [Remember, MAS was 42 years old, a fact of
which Hans Frank was probably ignorant.] Further, he said the family, named
Frankenberger, paid a maintenance allowance to Maria Anna for 14 years [which
makes Jews look responsible and honorable]. But the story is false from start
to finish. Some of the main reasons are:
A) From the end of the 15th
Century until a decade after Maria Anna died, no Jews lived in Graz. They had
been expelled by Emperor Maximilian I in 1496 from the province of Styria,
which included Graz. In 1781, under Joseph II, they were allowed to re-enter,
but only for a few weeks at a time, during Lent and at the Feast of St. Giles
to the annual Fairs, after paying a fixed sum. Two years later, these rights
were again curtailed, and it remained enforced until 1860 that no Jews
whatsoever could even enter the province.
B) No resident by the name of Frankenberger
is listed as having lived in Graz at that time.
C) Records from 1821 to 1838
pertaining to Maria Anna’s money in the Orphans’ Fund showed no change of
address in 1836 or ’37. Moreover, as a subject of the “Lordship of Ottenstein”
she could not have absented herself for any length of time without it being
noted.
D) Frank wrote in his report that Adolf
Hitler told him in a conversation that he knew there were no Jews in his family
because he had talked with his father and grandmother about it. But Hitler
could not have said that—his grandmother had been dead since before he was
born! This shows that Hans Frank’s story is made up out of whole
cloth—including the part about “investigating the matter for Hitler.”
12. The
Rothschild in Vienna story: This is debunked for the same reasons. Maria
Anna Schicklgruber did not visit or live in Vienna, and there is no record of
who these Rothschilds were, their address or other necessary information.
13, Patrick
Hitler: Another rumor of an alleged newspaper article in the Paris-Soir in
which Hitler’s nephew [by his half-brother Alois, Jr.], Patrick, described his
uncle Adolf as the grandson of a Graz Jew called Frankenreither. Maser dug up
this issue of that defunct newspaper while on a trip to Paris and found it
carried two pages and six illustrations of Patrick Hitler’s story, but no
allusion whatsoever to any Jewish antecedents.
COMMENTS
AND OTHER FINDINGS BY WERNER MASER
1. Maser feels that Johann Nepomuk
Hüttler and Alois decided on the change of name in compliance with the wishes
of Maria Anna. The inheritance was given in the same year that Alois wrote his
name as Hitler. The baptismal record continues to name Johann Georg Hiedler as
Alois’ father, but Alois chose to spell the name as Hitler.
2. Klara
Pölzl, Alois 3rd wife, mother of Adolf, was a granddaughter of
Johann Nepomuk Hüttler and his wife Eva Maria [Decker], making her the niece of
her husband Alois. She was considered his niece because Alois was a
Schicklgruber and Klara was a Decker on the maternal side. Hüttler died in
1888, Adolf was born in 1889.
3. Adolf
Hitler’s maternal grandfather was Johann Baptist Põlzl, a farmer living in
Spital. His paternal grandfather was Johann Nepomuk Hüttler, also a Spital farmer.
Maser says that there is a distinct family resemblance between all the
relations in Spital who are descended from Hüttler, and some of them bear a
strong resemblance to Adolf Hitler. Hitler visited Spital in 1905, 1906 and
1908, and several times when on leave during the First World War. He knew his
relatives and a great deal about his family history.

The methods used by the Armenian
nationalist groups to secure foreign intervention at this time were very well
documented by the distinguished Harvard University diplomatic historian, the
late William L. Langer, in Diplomacy of Imperialism (2d ed.; New York, 1956),
on the basis of Armenian as well as Western reports, and without any use of
Turkish sources. Thus he found in the British Parliamentary Papers (Turkey No.
10, 1879, nos. 45 and 62 and Turkey No. 7, 1880, no. 3) statements from the
British ambassador in June and July, 1879, such as ‘The same intrigues are now
being carried on in Asia Minor to establish an Armenian nationality and to
bring about a state of things which may give rise to a Christian outcry and
European interference’ (p. 153).
Langer reports (p. 157) that
Revolutionary placards were being posted in the cities, and there were not a
few cases of the blackmailing of wealthy Armenians, who were forced to
contribute to the cause. Europeans in Turkey were agreed that the immediate aim
of the agitators was to incite disorder, bring about inhuman reprisals, and so
provoke the intervention of the powers. For that reason, it was said, they
operated by preference in areas where the Armenians were in a hopeless
minority, so that the reprisals would be certain.
Langer concluded (p. 163) that
‘Enough has been said above to make unnecessary any further reference here to
the Hentchak and its program and methods. The leaders were quite prepared to
have thousands of their fellow-countrymen massacred in order to force
intervention by the European powers and in order to raise from the ruins of the
Ottoman Empire a new Armenian socialist state.’
Langer states: “Mr. Herbert, the
British chargé, appreciated the provocation to the Turks. Mr. Hume-Beaman, an
expert on things oriental, roundly declared that every member of the Armenian
committees should be hanged, and that the responsibilities for the massacres
rested divided between these cowardly committees and the ‘braggart and
ineffectual intervention of Europe’.” (Langer, pp. 324-325]
2. This is the first mention of
“Jewish godparents.” They appear out of the blue as a “guess” by Langer. The
intention is clearly to show Jews as good, compassionate and upstanding people
who “saw through” the good-for-nothing Hitler—placing Jews in the superior
position morally, financially and educationally.
3. One of Langer’s “informants” who
was employed by Hitler in Vienna as an agent for selling his paintings. Their
business relationship lasted for 8 months. At that time, Hitler took Hanisch to
court for not turning over the money he owed Hitler. Hanisch was found guilty
and spent a very short time in jail.
4. Walter C. Langer, The Mind of
Adolf Hitler, Basic Books, 1972, pg.111-113.
5. In his book on the Nuremberg
Tribunals, Trial of a Nation, Maser alleged that Hitler’s architect, Albert
Speer, who was given only a prison sentence by the tribunal, made a secret deal
with the chief American prosecutor Robert H. Jackson.
6. The
father of Johann Georg Hiedler, born 1792 and Johann Nepomuk Hüttler, born 1807
was Martin Hiedler, born 1762. Johann Nepomuk chose to spell the name Hüttler,
or perhaps it was an error by a priest or cleric.
