Hitler’s father was Alois Hitler Shickelgruber, the son of an unmarried forty-two year old woman named Anna Maria Shickelgruber. Alois was a womanizer. He was married three times and had an illegitimate child before he was even married. He had several affairs during these unions as well, including one with a servant working at the inn where Alois and his first wife resided. When his first wife died, Alois married the servant whom he had an affair with, and then began another affair with a different servant, one Clara Polzl. “Alois’ second wife also died, this time of tuberculosis, and six months later, Alois married Clara.” (Redlich, 7) When all was said and done, Alois was the father of eight children, although several died soon after birth or while still a child. He was believed to be an alcoholic, though to his credit he was able to hide this quite well. He was frequently away during Adolf’s childhood, and reports suggest that he was physically and emotionally abusive to the child. “In fact, it has been said that Alois didn’t particularly care for any of his children, maintaining an indifference towards them.” (Redlich, 8)

Adolf Hitler’s mother was Clara Hitler, a poor girl who worked at the inn where Alois lived with his first and second wives. By all accounts, Clara was a loving and caring mother who, despite a poor education, had a great appreciation for art and culture. She encouraged Hitler to take piano lessons and was often believed to spoil her many children. “Clara was twenty-three years younger than her husband, and he was not afraid to demonstrate his dominance over her.” (Redlich, 9) However, there is a story in her marriage with Alois that is rarely told. Historians believe that Clara was actually Alois Hitler’s own niece - at the very least officially, if not biologically. The identity of Alois Hitler’s father was never determined, but was officially listed as Johann Georg Hiedler. “Clara was related to Hiedler, which meant that Alois and Clara had to obtain a papal dispensation before they could wed.” (abelard.org) Furthermore, for the first several years of their marriage, she still referred to him as “uncle.” Whether or not the two were actually related, it still establishes a reason to believe that either parent could have some type of psychological problem.

Answer 3

Adolf Hitler's parents were Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl.  Either Klara's grandfather or her grandfather's brother was Alois' biological father which means his parents were related.  She was his half-niece, and often called him "Uncle" even after they were married.  Klara was 16 when she came to work for Alois as his housekeeper, I believe that's when they first met.
