Genetic Evidence
In 2008, the Belgian journalist Jean-Paul Mulders traveled to Germany, Austria, France and the United States to collect DNA of the Lorets and of the last living relatives of Hitler in Austria and on Long Island. By comparing the DNA, Mulders claimed proof that Jean-Marie Loret was not the son of Adolf Hitler.
The results of his research were published in Het Laatste Nieuws, Belgium's largest newspaper. In February 2009 a book on this subject was published by Herbig Verlag in Munich: Auf der Suche nach Hitlers Sohn – Eine Beweisaufnahme. The news was picked up by several international media outlets, including Daily Mail, USA Today, Bild, Hürriyet, and China Daily.
In February 2012 the French magazine Le Point reported that a study by the University of Heidelberg shows Hitler and Loret were of the same blood group and that another study shows they had similar handwriting. The story also claimed that German officers delivered cash to Charlotte Lobjoie during the World War II occupation. A revised edition of Loret's book Your Father’s Name is Hitler was said to be in the works.
The magazine also reports the grandson's criticism of the DNA samples of the relatives of Hitler, which were taken from napkins according to him.

Famous quotes containing the words genetic and/or evidence:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“Faith. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
