Should we force everyone to submit to DNA tests so that we can locate potential offspring of Adolph Hitler?

Answer 1

No. The sheer effort and time involved in such a task would not result in anything meaningful. If Hitler has offspring, we should let them be. It's not their fault he was a bastard.

Answer 2

Last I heard---and there is a book out about this.
There were three remaining males related to Hitler. Nephews and cousins.

I believe all three live or did live in the USA and have changed their names they are very old now.

All decided a long time ago not to have children and to make sure that the Hitler family end upon their deaths. I think they agreed not to have their graves marked even with their new names.

It's kind of sad really. To be feel so persecuted for the sins or a relative to the point that you agree with your other relatives not to sire offspring and end your lineage of your entire family.

of course there is always the possibility of cloning in the near future.

But what is the point--why would you care to locate a person based on the atrocities committed by a relative 70 years ago.

Are you going to egg their house!

Answer 3

Why? Would you do with this individual? Submitting everyone to a DNA test sounds like something Hitler would do to weed out those not suitable for his so called super race.

Answer 4

What purpose would that serve? Offspring aren't responsible for the sins of their fathers. 2D

Answer 5

Of course!! And we can look for decendents of Christ also. And the Gipper. And Nero...and ...and

Who cares?

Answer 6

actually they did interviews w/ his family. they pretty much hate him with a passion.

Answer 7

any relatives would not be responsible for the crimes he commited, so why would you want to.

Answer 8

No.
