Read a good book about family history or history recently? or what do you think of your Genealogy Software. Why not tell us about how good, bad or indifferent you think it was.

The Hitlers of Liverpool

Post by Lee Layland »

Adolf Hitler resided for a while in Liverpool, and was despised by his sister in law who described him as a lazy layabout!

A bit of a funny book, written by Adolf's sister in law many years after the events, but fascinating non the less.

Murder (of Adolph's niece - whom he is reported to have had inappropriate contact with) possibly by Adolph himself, an escape into Austria, and life in America for Adolph's sister in law all add to the intrigue.

A great read.

Who wrote it? Who published it? Paperback or Hbk? Price? Illustrated? How many pages? A review should tell these things.

I bought this book from the remainder book shop in St John's Shopping Centre in Liverpool before Christmas but only recently got round to reading it. It is a good yarn and makes fascinating reading. Noone seems to be able to prove categorically that it's true but neither can anyone prove it's not. It seems very possible that it could be all true certainly much of it is proven.

Hi All
My Father served in the Fire Service during Second World War, and was "damping down" in Stanhope St. (Upper?) He was informed by locals that the Hitlers had previously lived in that street before moving to the USA and changing their name.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
