Part 2/10:
William Patrick Hitler, born on March 12, 1911, in Liverpool, was the son of Brigid and Alois Hitler—the elder brother of Adolf Hitler. The family genealogy is steeped in complexity, with multiple marriages creating ties that would haunt William Patrick throughout his life. Alois, having moved to England, struggled with his ventures in business, and eventually, he disappeared from the lives of his family as World War I erupted, absenting himself from both his English family and his ties in Germany.
