Adolf or Adolph ???????

Question

I have seen Hitler's name spelt in both of these ways and it would be useful to know which one it is because I'm doing history next year :-s !!

Answer 1

The 'ph' question is still controversial in German. However, since Hitler was against the use of 'foreign' words in German, I'm sure he never wrote his name using 'ph'.

One of his best efforts was 'Lichtbilderanderwandwerfer' This translates as a 'thrower of light pictures on the wall' - otherwise known as a projector, ot in German 'Projektor'.

Answer 2

Adolf Hitler

Ph is Greek.  Adolf, then,but you will see the King of Sweden in the 17th C called Gustavus Adolphus, but this is a reference from Latin charters.  Oddly, the Millibands father was called Adolf, but when he came here as a refugee he changed his name to Ralph.  He, unlike his lickspittle sons, was a good socialist.

Either way is correct because the name is spelled slightly different in the english, french, german, scandinavian, and Dutch languages.
