  • Hitler had no ‘progeny’. That word means descendants, not descendants of siblings or cousins. Well ignoring some completely unproved allegations about some children from affairs that is.

    And there are still some living descendants of Hitler’s siblings. His older half brother Alois had two kids, the younger died during the war and the elder, William, didn’t get on with Uncle Hitler so moved to the UK before the war. He later moved to the US and joined the US Navy in 1944. He changed his surname to Stuart-Houston and had four children, one of which is dead but the other three are still alive and childless.

    His older half sister Angela married Leo Raubal and had three kids. Two of them had a child each who are still alive. Dunno if either of those have any kids.

    As to his estate it’s a bit complicated, and I know it’s reddit but askhistorians is a good place and there’s a good overview of Hitler’s estate here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9kv001/what_happened_to_hitlers_bank_account/e72gd8l/

















  • I only ever buy some cheap shit when my last shit bucket phone starts packing in and hasn’t received a security update in a while. I try to drag it out as long as I can but the budget phone makers seem to be getting more scummy and supporting their phones for shorter periods of time. For the first time in my life I’m getting tempted to buy an apple product.

    As to why people buy new every year; from the adverts it all seems to be about more megapixels and ai image processing as phone makers rarely ever seem to boast about anything else anymore, apart from the occasional gimmick. Dunno why anyone needs an extra billion or so megapixels, especially as phone lenses are kinda shit in general.



  • It’s bloody great. I love the absurd humour and wordplay, the weird non linear plot, the black humour and satire of bureaucracy. Then you get hit in the guy with some really dark depressive shit. It really isn’t for everyone, though. There ain’t nothing like it. Well Kurt Vonnegut kinda has the same vibe in some of his books, but I love his books for other reasons.

    I’d probably put a Vonnegut book in my favourites list as well but I couldn’t decide which one!
