Give a raise to whoever made that thumbnail.

"died of measles in June of 1900 because the past was the worst" was such a throwaway line but it was a gem. I quite literally spit out my drink because of this.

[inverse_of_zero]

The first five minutes of this video REALLY needed a family tree diagram!

[andrewbeketa]

Guy who made the thumbnail definitely knows things lmao

[arcadiaberger]

My uncle, whose family name was Hiler, was accidentally given the ID badge of William Patrick Hitler, which was next to his, when they were both serving in a CCC camp (the Civilian Conservation Corps was a semi-military organization run by the Federal government to provide employment during the Depression). Hitler's nephew explained to my uncle the source of his colorful surname.

[tylerwood]

I'm amazed that even his blood relatives referred to him as "Hitler", as those direct quotes prove.

[JuanitoK]

I NEVER thought in my entire life that I would ever see FUCKING K-ON and Simon in a thumbnail together 😂😂😂

[michaeltelson]

There was a family that I knew whose name was originally Hitler which was changed In WWII. Another family acquaintance, our butcher had changed their name from Mussolini again in WWII. Neither were related to the notorious holders of the families original names.

[aimeemyers]

I used to have a manager with the last name Hiler. He was a jerk so we used to joke that his family name was really Hitler and they just took the T out when they emigrated. Maybe we were closer to correct than we thought.

[lubutoandreas]

Interesting, but the video sorely needs more family tree chart graphics overlaid to tie the flurry of names and faces being thrown out together

[Wills.musicpage]

Every time Simon mentions the gulag, I'm flashing back to him clutching his face and yelling "No! I don't want to go to the gulag!"

[areasevenpro]

They were hoping they wouldn't enrage Adolf's father, who punished him severely.

[Stable_Genius]

Alois must have been quite the charmer. Guy was running around town laying pipe.

[LozenColorado]

There's 3 Hitlers buried right next to my WW2 code talker grandfather in law and about a quarter mile from my code talker dad. I've always wondered about them, though they appear to have died and been buried several years before and during WW2. There's also quite a few Histors buried there too. I've heard Histor is just Hitler misspelled.

A minor correction: Alois and Klara indeed had five children, but it was the first two -- Gustav and Ida -- who died in infancy. AH was number three. The fourth, a brother called Edmund, passed aged 6. The fifth, called Paula, survived her famous brother and died aged 64 in 1960.

around 20 years ago working IT in London, a Young Irish web Developer started at the company, nice guy around 21. Anyway he proceeds to tell me a story of how there is an upcoming TV programme re his family/him (Channel 4) and it's about the fact they are part of Hitler's extended family, i.e from his brother Alois and Bridget. It was most unexpected. Turns out he was telling the truth, again he was a super nice guy

[safebox]

When I was in university, I lived on the same street where his brother and sister-in-law lived.
There's a plaque outside it honouring his brother for his service in the Allied forces.

Local folklore says his sister-in-law was the one who convinced him to change to the Chaplin stache.

[carmium]

Would a US Navy corpsman have his surname stitched on his uniform? If so, I can only imagine the startled reaction of a wounded sailor looking up and seeing a Hitler was treating his wound.

[kovaxim]

I don't know who got the idea for the thumbnail, but I'd give them a raise.

To combine a photograph of Austria's most famous painter and all members of the light music club from K-ON! - this is truly the best thumbnail I've ever seen.
Even better is Simon in the corner seemingly at a loss for words.

What a lovely family in the thumbnail!☺
