djpt448.64Hitler's nephew wrote an essay defaming the dictator, then moved to the U.S. and served in the Navy to fight his uncle.
William "Willy" Patrick Hitler was born in Liverpool to a British mother and a German father, the half-brother of AdolfHitler. When Anglo-German relations started heating up due to his uncle's flamboyance, Willy published an essay in Look magazine entitled "Why I Hate My Uncle." As war broke out, he moved his family to the United States, where he tried to enlist in the U.S. Navy but was turned down. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Franklin D. Roosevelt took a second look at Willy's application and finally approved him to engage in the fight against the Nazis.
Have a great weekend all.
