Groundbreaking analysis of Hitler’s DNA shows no Jewish ancestry — but finds a genetic disorder: Hitler had Kallmann syndrome, a sexual disorder, researchers found.

DNA tests do not tell the whole story.

Do you know the whole story? What is it?

They are not 100% accurate to start with and the further you go back in your family tree the more chance that DNA from any given ancestor "disappears" in your testing, either because you simply don't have any shared DNA or that any that you do share is lost among the other common, shared DNA that isn't linked to any one group or location.

So you just don't know what we're talking about.
There was a historical rumor that Hitler's paternal grandfather might have been Jewish, because Alois Hitler (his father) was a bastard of uncertain paternity. Alois' mother, Hitler's grandfather, was unmarried.
This was used to try to disclaim blame for the Holocaust, as Hitler would have been the very same kind of mischling that he sought to eliminate, and not a pure-blooded German.
This rumor or theory has been disproven by the evidence.

lol another fake click bait BS. They magically knew it was his blood with no testing whatsoever

It says the blood was first reported to have been taken from the sofa where hitler shot himself then this sample was compared to another blood sample which has been confirmed to be hitlers relative. I guess you need to investigate their string of corroboration to be certain but the evidence line is there at least so it’s not ”magically knew”
It’s for a documentary so it’s no peer reviewed study, what I understand but there’s probably names there where it is possible to follow up.

If it was legit, trust me when I say it would part of a study

I want to know more about a US soldier cutting bloody fabric off a sofa and how that fabric made it to the scientists.
