Adolf Hitler

February 20 2012

Paris, France – There is, indisputably, no historical figure more frightening and more enraging than Adolf Hitler. Like many figure throughout history much of Hitler’s persona has been created in the minds of observers, tales passed down and embellished but in his case, only slightly. Hitler’s ill deeds are easily the best documented of all madmen of history and they undoubtedly horrific.

Hitler is the great bad guy of history, the man who had no humanity and one whom it is okay to hate with abandon. Hitler was as bad as people get and one of the few who has engendered no sympathy even from the biggest of apologists. Even his supporters, what few of them remain, indulge Hitler’s evil nature, embrace it even.

Adolf Hitler was, though, a human being. While it is easy, and perhaps comfortable, to make him into some otherworldly beast, perhaps even the embodiment of Satan Himself, the truth is the Hitler was a man, a man with a man’s follies and with a man’s needs. Those needs are likely what led him to a young French girl in the summer of 1917, which may well have resulted in a young boy nine months later, Hitler’s son, a man who is now dead and, unlike his father, didn’t really do a whole lot with his life.

“He had a sketch pad and seemed to be drawing. All the women found this interesting, and were curious to know what he was drawing. When your father was around, which was very rarely, he liked to take me for walks in the countryside,”Charlotte Lobjoie told her son, Jean-Marie Loret, who died in 1985. “But these walks usually ended badly. In fact, your father, inspired by nature, launched into speeches which I did not really understand.”

The latter claim is cited as the principal rationale behind believing the woman’s story, because that is so Hitler.

Loret also apparently looked quite a bit like Hitler, which undoubtedly caused a lot of odd stares throughout the years.

It’s not precisely clear why anyone would want to claim a blood relation to the greatest mad man in history though it is clear that Loret did not even come close to living up to his father, something that may have driven him.

“It is very easy for a person to develop a complex if they have someone in the family who is very successful, publicly successful, especially if they experience that at a relatively young age. Part of that is having everything given to you at a young age, 
which doesn’t appear to be the case here, but the other part is insecurity which can have a profound effect,” said Scrape TV Psychology analyst Dr. Sarah Welp. “It can really drive a person mad, I mean not as mad as Hitler obviously, but some of that may also have been circumstance. Had Loret had the same opportunities it is entirely possible that he would have been just as mad as his father. Or not, greatness of all sorts can certainly skip generations and it is entirely possible that is what happened here. It must have haunted him for much of his life, having had such a famous parent. I mean not just famous, maybe the most famous ever. That has to have been a rough life and it is possible that psychic trauma is the exact reason he never lived up to his father. The expectations were just too great.”

It’s not clear if, like his father, Loret also hated Jews but it is likely. They did have similar handwriting.
