Are Adolf Hitler's DNA samples available? A recent report published by LePoint claims that a Frenchman named Jean-Marie Loret is Hitler's son. The evidence in favor of this claim cited by the Huffington Post includes: > Hitler and Loret have the same blood group. Another study showed that their handwritings are similar. Additionally, in 2009 the Daily Mail reported on a study that supposedly collected Hitler's DNA from: > ...forgotten cigarette butts in a small village in Lower Austria, a used paper napkin in a New York fast food restaurant and the seals of letters sent over 30 years ago from northern France. Are there really no more credible sources of Adolf Hitler's DNA?

According to an article in Marianne2 [French source], Loret's DNA was compared to that of Hitler's known male relatives, who must share a Y chromosome with Hitler. The results were that Loret cannot be Hitler's son.

Those Y chromosomes can be considered partial, indirect samples of Hitler's DNA.
