| - Alois Hitler, Jr., born Alois Matzelsberger (January 13, 1882 in Vienna – May 20, 1956 in Hamburg), was the son of Alois Hitler and Franziska Matzelsberger and the half-brother of Adolf Hitler. He was born while his father was still married to his first wife, Anna. After Anna died and his parents were married, Alois was legitimised and his name was changed to Alois Hitler, Jr. He was soon joined by a sister, Angela Hitler. When he was two years old his mother died and his father married Klara Pölzl, a niece with whom he had a long-standing affair while also cheating on his first wife with Franziska. When he started cheating on his wife with Franziska neither knew until Alois's wife found out and was appalled and told Franziska. Alois left home at the age of fourteen due to increasingly violent arguments with his father and apparently strained relations with his stepmother Klara. After working as an apprentice waiter he was arrested for theft and served a five-month sentence in 1900, followed by an eight-month sentence in 1902. He moved to Dublin where he got a job as a waiter at the Shelbourne Hotel. In 1909 he met Bridget Dowling at the Dublin Horse Show and led her to believe he was a wealthy hotelier on a European tour. They eloped to London and married on June 3, 1910. William Dowling, Bridget's father, threatened to have Alois arrested for kidnapping but Bridget dissuaded him. The couple settled in Liverpool where their son William Patrick Hitler was born in 1911. The family lived in a flat at 102 Upper Stanhope Street. Ironically, the house was destroyed in the last German air-raid on Liverpool on January 10, 1942. Nothing remains of the house, or those that surrounded it and the area was eventually cleared and grassed over. Bridget Dowling's memoirs claim Adolf Hitler lived with them in Liverpool from 1912 to 1913 while he was on the run for dodging the draft in his native Austria-Hungary, but most historians dismiss this story as a fiction invented to make Bridget's book more appealing to publishers. Alois attempted to make money by running a small restaurant in Dale Street, a boarding house on Parliament Street and a hotel on Mount Pleasant, all of which failed. Finally, he left his family behind in May 1914 and he returned alone to the German Empire to establish himself in the safety-razor business. World War I broke out soon after, stranding Alois in Germany and making it impossible for his wife and son to join him. He married another woman named Hedwig Heidemann in 1916 and after the war had a third party inform Bridget he was dead. His ruse was discovered by the German authorities and Alois was prosecuted for bigamy in 1924, but acquitted due to Bridget's intervention on his behalf. William Patrick stayed with Alois and his new family during his early trips to Weimar Republic Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1934 Alois established a restaurant in Berlin which became a popular drinking hole for Stormtroopers. He managed to keep the restaurant open through the duration of World War II. At the end of the war he was arrested by the British but released when it became clear he had played no role in his brother's regime. His son from his second wife, Heinz Hitler, died in prison in 1942 after being captured on the eastern front during World War II. Following the war Alois was briefly involved with a right-wing political party. In the 1950s he made money signing photographs of his brother and selling them to tourists. Alois and Adolf were never close, apparently due to Alois' resentment of Adolf stemming from childhood. He is not mentioned in Hitler's Mein Kampf and they rarely (if ever) met after Adolf's rise to power. (en)
- Alois Hitler jr. (Wenen, 13 januari 1882 - Hamburg, 20 mei 1956) was een zoon van Alois Hitler sr. en Franziska Matzelsberger. Hij was een halfbroer van Adolf Hitler. Hij was geboren als buitenechtelijk kind onder de naam Alois Matzelberger maar werd later door zijn vader erkend. Alois Hitler jr. kon slecht overweg met zijn stiefmoeder Klara. Adolf Hitler en Alois Hitler jr. hadden dan ook geen sterke band met elkaar. Ze verschilden aanvankelijk te veel in leeftijd, en later vond Alois jr. zijn halfbroer een nietsnut, die bovendien de zoon was van een vrouw aan wie hij een hekel had. In 1896 ging Alois jr. het huis uit en wilde niets meer met zowel zijn vader als stiefmoeder te maken hebben. Dit had als indirect gevolg dat Alois Hitler sr. zijn ambities voornamelijk op Adolf ging projecteren. Alois Hitler jr. emigreerde naar Dublin, waar hij de Ierse Bridget Dowling leerde kennen. Ze huwden omstreeks 1909 in Ierland en vestigden zich in Liverpool. Samen hadden zij een zoon, William Patrick Hitler, die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog in de Amerikaanse luchtmacht tegen zijn oom vocht. Bridget Dowling claimde, dat in deze tijd Adolf Hitler korte tijd bij hen in Liverpool had verbleven, en dat zij hem adviseerde de zijkanten van zijn snor af te scheren. Over het algemeen wordt aangenomen dat deze claim op onvoldoende bewijs steunt, en dat Hitler nooit in Engeland is geweest. In 1914 keerde Alois terug naar Duitsland en verkocht daar scheermesjes. In 1916 trouwde hij opnieuw met een Duitse vrouw, Hedwig Heidemann, en trachtte na de oorlog Bridget wijs te maken dat hij overleden was. De autoriteiten kwamen er echter achter en dreigden hem te vervolgen wegens bigamie. Bridget nam het echter voor hem op en er volgde geen veroordeling. Van zijn tweede vrouw Hedwig had hij een zoon, Heinz Hitler. Bridget had hem weliswaar van een veroordeling gered maar Alois bleef bij zijn tweede vrouw wonen. Naar Bridget keek hij niet meer om. Eind jaren '20 opende Alois een café-restaurant in Berlijn waar ook veel SA- en SS-ers kwamen eten en drinken. Hij werd omschreven als een typische "mollige kroegbaas, die in niets geleek op zijn beroemde halfbroer". Wel was hij voortdurend bang dat deze halfbroer uit schaamte ervoor zou zorgen dat Alois zijn tapvergunning zou worden ingetrokken. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was Alois Hitler jr. in de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland betrokken bij een rechtse partij, maar vervulde nooit een centrale rol. Hij verkocht zijn handtekeningen aan toeristen, die het maar al te prachtig vonden de handtekening van de halfbroer van Hitler te hebben. Op 74-jarige leeftijd overleed Alois Hitler in Hamburg. William Patrick en zijn vrouw hebben vier zonen, die inmiddels hun naam hebben gewijzigd en op Long Island wonen. Een van de vier is overleden. (nl)

- Alois Hitler junior, født Alois Matzelberger (født 13. januar 1882, død 20. mai 1956) var en halvbror av Adolf Hitler. Alois Hitler jr. ble født som sønn av Alois Hitler og hans annen hustru Franziska Matzelsberger. Derfor fikk han først navnet Alois Matzelberger. Men da foreldrene giftet seg, ble han legitimert. I 1884, to år etter sin fødsel, døde moren. Alois forlot allerede før farens død foreldrehuset. Han syntes ikke å ha kommet godt overens med sin halvbror Adolf. Senere hevdet han at Adolf, som var en sønn faren fikk med sin tredje hustru, Klara, var deres yndling, mens han selv var det sorte får og ble hyppig avstraffet av faren, også for ting Adolf hadde gjort. Ettersom Alois Hitler jr. hadde noe teknisk begavelse, hadde faren til hensikt å sende ham på en passende skole som kunne danne springbrett for ingeniørutdannelse. Men dette ble det ikke noe av; muligens på grunn av Klaras innsigelser. Faren var da likevel ikke beredt til å investere større summer i Alois jr.s utdannelse. Han ble istedet sendt i lære. Men han avbrøt lærertiden, og dermed begynte det å rakne for ham. Allerede i 1900 ble han dømt til fem års fengsel for tyveri. I 1902 måtte han åtte år i fengsel. Etter endt soning utvandret han til Dublin. Der fikk han arbeid som kelner på Shelbourne Hotel. I 1909 møtte han Bridget Dowling på på en hestefremvisning, og fikk henne til å tro at han var en velstående mann i hotellbransjen. De stakk til London og giftet seg der den 3. juni 1910. William Dowling, Bridgets far, truet med å få ham arrestert for kidnapping, men Bridget fikk ham fra det. Paret slo seg ned i Liverpool, der de i 1911 fikk sønnen William Patrick. Alois forsøkte å tjene til livets opphold ved å drive en restaurant i Dale Street, et pensjonat i Parliament Street og et hotell på Mount Pleasant, men det gikk dårlig. Det var år som var preget av familiespenninger. Alois drakk, og når han var full pleide han å gi juling til kona og antagelig også det lille barnet. I mai 1914 forlot han dem og reiste til Tyskland. I 1924 ble Alois Hitler Jr. anklaget for bigami i Hamburg. Men det ble ikke noe av den seks måneders lange fengselsstraffen han var blitt ilagt. Også med sin annen hustru fikk han et barn. Hans forretningsvirksomhet i Tyskland gikk ganske bra, men i 1929 gikk alt galt som følge av sammenbruddet i verdensøkonomien. Frem til 1934 overlevde Alois Hitler Jr. som leilighetsarbeider. I 1934 åpnet han en restaurant i Berlin, og den ble en yndlingsrestaurant for SA-folk. Etter Adolf Hitler kom til makt, hadde halvbrødrene ikke noen (historisk belagt) kontakt med hverandre. I Mein Kampf ble han overhodet ikke nevnt. (no)
