      Have you ever heard of William Hitler? He was Adolf’s nephew that ended up joining the U.S. Navy and fought against the Nazis.

          He did actually, after the war he changed it to Stuart-Houston.

          There was also a funny moment when he first joined the Navy:

          On reporting for duty, the induction officer asked his name. He replied, “Hitler. Thinking he was joking, the officer replied, “Glad to see you, Hitler. My name’s Hess.
