William Patrick “Willy” Stuart-Houston was the Irish-German nephew of Adolf Hitler. He was born to Adolf’s half-brother, Alois Hitler, Jr. and his original name was William Hitler. William eventually moved to the United States where he served as a US sailor in the United States Navy. Once the war was over, he changed his last name as he didn’t want to be associated with his uncle. Seems like that was a pretty good choice!
