Stalin was pretty shitty but ultimately he was less destructive on his own. Whereas Hitler was ideologically driven, Stalin just wanted to be a playboy with a big house, nice food, and whoever knows how many whores. A lot of the death under the Soviet Union can't be attributed to just Stalin; his fellows and subordinates were responsible for a bunch of it. However, in the case of Nazi Germany, Hitler personally ordered many of the repressions and killings of civilians, and arguably put the entire thing in motion (whereas Stalin owed a lot to fellow Bolsheviks).
In my area, you buy a plot and when you die, you are buried there. There is no lease or continued payments. A cemetary groundskeeper mows and weeds the graveyard and families can put things on the grave. You see American flags, Texas flags, confederate flags, Irish flags, little toys, rocks, flowers, plants in planters attached to the headstone. I can’t wrap my head around having to continue to pay a lease on a grave.
This is necessary in some countries that are overcrowded and living space is at a premium. Having plenty of space to bury the dead is not a problem in the US, but many European countries and Latin American countries lease grave plots for x number of years. Once the lease has expired, if the family cannot or will not renew the lease, the remains are exhumed to make room for a new occupant. The previous remains are disposed of in a common grave. In Germany, the lease on my maternal grandparents' graves recently expired, and my Tante Hilde renewed the lease for another 30 years.
@@lindaoneil5085 …I never thought of that. I live in Texas so land is in abundance. In the eastern US, in the original 13 colonies, large cities like NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Providence etc have a premium on space too. I wonder what they do? I figured they buried a person and it was theirs for all time (given the really old grave markers, that’s what I think but could be wrong). Interesting the way different cultures have to do different things. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
@@WyattRyeSway There is a video documentary here on TH-cam titled , "Grave Exhumation Documentary" by Navajo Joe. Thousands of old graves have to be exhumed and reinterred, because the church will be converted to a music and education hall. The whole process is diligently and respectfully handled. It is 35:19 long. Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.
US cemeteries are typically maintained by sale of new plots. When the land runs out it is often difficult to keep them financed. most US cemeteries are young enough that it has not yet mattered, but it is a pyramid scheme in the really long run.
Both Adolf Hitler and Charles Chaplin were born in April 1889 just four days apart. They were the same height, both became known around the world. But for OPPOSITE reasons!
Charles Chaplin still had controversies as well that made the entire hollywood connections stay away from him late in his life. I would too regardless my social class standing. Chaplin was 53 years old when he married an 18 year old. Only they know when their romantic relationship started at.
Didn't Charlie Chaplin decide to leave the USA forever because he had close ties to the communist party in the U.S. and in Europe? I'm not sure exactly why but, Charlie Chaplin departed the USA in the 1950s and never came for at least 20 years because he was worried the U.S. government was looking for him.
I highly doubt Klara had any say in her marriage to a man 23 years older than her who got her 16 year old self pregnant. I didn’t know her life was so sad.
As a American, I find it very strange in Europe. It is common that you "rent" graves ? And that if a lease is not renewed. That the remains are gathered and placed further down and someone else will be buried on top ? In the U.S. doing that would be a major scandal ! American would be outraged.
You can't really blame Hitler (or Himmler) for their beliefs as antisemitism was then rife in Europe at that time and, so I'm told, especially virulent in the late Austro-Hungarian and German empires (indeed, as was what we would now call racism, heterosexism and male chauvinism). I'd be more surprised if Hitler, coming from the social class he did, had not been antisemitic.
That’s unacceptable. They had nothing to do with what he did, especially his mother! Plenty of people have good AND bad childhoods and never make the choice to do awful things.
I'm from Dublin in Ireland and I have a couple of polish friends and they told me that every 20 years you have to pay the cemetery it's like renting a burial plot and if you don't pay the fees your relevant family would be dug up and buried somewhere else in Ireland once you paid for a burial plot that's that's there last resting place you don't have to pay any more money 😢😢
@@nielszindel1151 I didn't know that funerals in Ireland are very expensive 6000 euros and then you own the the grave you can put three family members in one burial plot when I see videos on here of people exploring graveyards it amazes me cos in Ireland the cemeterys have walls and gates about 13 foot high I would love to explore a cemetery at night but it's not worth getting arrested for trespassing 👻👻👍🇮🇪
Pole had murdered tens of thousands of ethnic Germans living within post Ww1 borders. Hitler had been pleading with the polish military to stop the murders. They had built 5 concentration camps for Germans in Bromberg . One day the Poles massacre 5400 German men women and children. Hitler invaded soon after.
Clara seems to have been a sad person, losing two children and then her husband. She certainly looks sad and must have had a very difficult life. No do but Aloud bullied her.
I always thought his mother was such a beautiful and abused woman. Her name, her face. Such grace on her face. She would have still loved her son...a mothers love is unconditional and its someone no one but a mother understand. My heart breaks for her life. His father looked like a DOG . Now, he was disgusting.
Hitler's Dad was a shameless philanderer / womanizer. And he was abusive to his Hitler's young Mom, to young Adolf and siblings. Mom Clara became attached to Adolf because he was the only one that survived out of 4 children by Clara. And son Adolf likewise became attached to his Mom Clara because his Old Shit Dad Alois was abusive to his son Adolf.
I kinda agree with you. We always love our children. We don't always approve of their behavior, stand by what they do or even keep them in our lives. (Obviously Frau Hitler died before her son began his despicable behavior so I'm speaking for myself. I get tired of unthinking platitudes.) If my child were a mass murderer I would no longer trust him/her not continue an association. I WOULD continue praying for him. It's the best, most powerful thing one can do.
Here in England you buy a plot and it stays in your family. My father died in 1966 and his grave is still untouched. Also my 3 times great grandfathers grave who died in 1830, is still intact as well.
@@Lindleyferchel Thats absurd. There is plenty of space for the living. The entire idea of renting graves is a human rights violation and incredibly degrading. Its grave desecration of the worst kind
Once the lease on a single or family grave expires the Cemetery has the right to remove the headstone, cremate the remains and rebury the cremated remains further below and resell it as a new burial site. Some graves have a perpetuity of 25yrs, 50yrs. I am facing this terrible situation in a couple of years unless I can prove my families graves, consisting of a 15 and 21yr old sibling buried together and my parents who are buried together with these, their children are of historical value. I find this disgusting. I live in Australia.
Wow messing with people's graves that had nothing to do with WW2 is totally messed up, it's not there fault there son did what he did shame on these people
Even if it was Adolf Hitler's grave, you don't mess with the dead or history. History needs to be remembered, not destroyed; besides, Klara did her best and she had serious limitations in an unforgiving environment. Alois knew better, but did worse anyways. It doesn't excuse Adolf's character, because he had outstanding role models later in the Army (almost bad luck when your own comrades have a large distain for you) and life that he could've adopted as mentors; but followed a darker path and others joined him both friend and foe alike. I don't understand why people still point fingers at one another, there was no good and evil in that conflict; just bad circumstances and weak minded people behind those bad circumstances that failed to be empathetic towards each other's needs.
He tried twice at Vienna Arts Academy. A jewish professor declined him because of a "lack of talent". Later, that guy ended up in a concentration camp.
It's unfortunately not that simple. One of the reasons why he became the worst monster in human history was his desire to carry out his megalomaniacal architectural visions. SOME artists CAN unfortunately be monsters.
I feel the same as most, why go after the parents? So sad. When his nephew moved to the states his children made sure their bloodline would die out. Knowing what Adolf was they knew it was the right thing to do.
I think after the lease runs out, the bones stay in the ground. Personnel digs a new hole, and the next person is laid to rest on top. Even if the family wants to keep the remains, they won't be easy to recover because there are so many bones in the ground on old cemeteries.
That's what happened with his sister. She was buried near his retreat. Then when no one paid the rent on it someone else was buried on top of her grave.
People are shocked by the stone being removed and the bodies possibly exhumed, but this happens all the time. Leases are temporary, if no one pays to renew it that's what happens. If you think about say your grandparents grave, you would probably renew it. But would your children who never knew them do it ? And what about their childrens ?
That was an excellent comment and very relevant. Indeed, as generations pass away and younger descendants have no concept as to who these people were; they refuse to provide their hard-earned money for a continued grave lease.
What is? The rent wasn't paid anymore. In France, bodies are only interred for 50 years, I believe. Then, they're removed and buried in a catacomb. Then the gravesite is available for a new body. So this isn't about Germany in particular or the Hitlers in particular.
It"s hard to wrap my mind around the idea that you lease grave space. My wife and I just finished paying for our burial plots. They belong to us, and they are ours forever. They weren't cheap, we spent years making installment payments, but the are ours now.
In Europe, because of the limited space, graves are generally recycled. By law (in Germany), a grave can be reused after 30 years, either by the family who owns the grave plot, or anyone who purchases it. Burials are always in wooden caskets and bodies are not embalmed,so after 30 years, there isn’t much left. I worked as a back-hoe operator for a small German construction company and my side job was gravedigger. The only things I ever dug up from a 30+ year-old grave were the casket metal fittings and an occasional rib bone.
Here in Norway, graves are leased for a period (50 years I think) after which the remains are removed and re-interred in a communal grave, unless the family extends the lease.
Nothing strange at all. This is normal in Germany and Austria. It is quite normal for the memorial and remains to be very well cared for for a generation or two and then be removed after a time unless someone pays rent for the plot. See other YT videos which indicate that the majority of Nazis remains have now gone the same way.. What I do find a bit odd is that the oval memorial was not installed straight!
Some Christians take the words of their fourth-century Nicene literally and would consider the treatment of mortal remains such as happens in Austria and The Netherlands as a blasphemy by implying a heresy in the words: *we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.*
What about the Christian belief in "the resurrection of the body" in the last days, I wonder. I quoted the Nicene Creed in a previous comment but it got removed for some reason.
I visited the cemetery in 2012, just a short time after the gravestone was removed. I heard that a descendant of the family made the actual decision, confirmed by the then Mayor of Leonding, Walter Brunner. Just for the record, on the day I visited, in summer, it was belting down with rain all day, and we went about without umbrella's, much to the amazement of the locals 😄
I've read what appeared to be legit journalism pieces about the remaining descendants of hitler (I don't capitalize it). If I recall correctly, he had a couple of grand nephews - or something like that - living in the US, at least into the 2000's. They had evidently changed their surnames (of course!) and I think chose to end the family line with themselves. Of course I don't know for sure if it's completely factual, but it's interesting to think about. That man rightly holds a special place in the history of monsters.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dx I think upwards of around 15-17 million tortured and murdered people, consisting of Jews, Slavs, Romani, and other minority groups might disagree with you, or would have had they survived.
The evil elite even doesn't allow you eternal rest. Here in Belgium when you are buried and no one pays again after 20 years your remains are exhumed and destroyed like waste so that another person can be buried in that grave. It is a disgrace
It is customary in some countries, that graves are not considered permanent, and that after a certain period of time, due to the expiry of a lease or to manage the capacity of the cemetery, remains are eventually exhumed and disposed of. I find it quite distasteful, it seems to contradict the very essence of a grave as a “final resting place” and the very idea behind the phrase to “rest in peace.” Here in the U.K. it is customary to purchase the burial rights on a plot (effectively a lease) lasting typically between 25-100 years. The lease can be extended (the landowner is supposed to contact the lessee in advance of expiry to offer that option.) Otherwise the burial rights revert back to the landowner. It makes me wonder about graves we see dating back 200 years or more, but as they presumably predate that system there may be no legal basis to remove them, or perhaps the churchyards (where most of these older graves are located) have a different set of rules applied by the Church, to those of a local council cemetery.
Eventually all family trees are missing a fork. I'm sure if you traced yours far enough you would find a set of kissing cousins. I think that's why we are all just a degree of mental.
'Lay' is the past tense of 'lie' and is commonly used incorrectly in American idiom. And the plural of Hitler is Hitlers, not Hitler's, as it is not possessive. Therefore the subheading at 08:34 should read 'Do the Hitlers still lie inside?'.
Thank you for sharing this video. Very sad that someone would even think of disturbing the grave. Hopefully they were reburied with dignity. Very disturbing that they were allegedly dug up 🤔 It's important to keep your morals no matter what occurs. It's not easy as we're all confronted during our lifetime with difficult moral decisions. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏
Actually only the tombstone and gravemarker were removed. The bodily remains itself, if there are any left after a rest of nearly 120 years, were left undisturbed. It is only that their resting place is now anonym, so that neo-nazi-"pilgrims" have no goal for "pilgrimages" anymore.
I am shocked to see this inhuman episode. Alois and Clara his wife were both entitled to a decent burial further undisturbed resting place. Why must another human see fit to disturb the resting place of another human as in this case the Hitlers.
I remembered a story about Hitler. Yes, his father was too abusive and his mother was so weak to protect him. And, they do not deserved to bury in that area. Shame!
It is European tradition to re-use graves. After a lease is up, a new grave is dug. Any remains are set aside. After the new grave is completed, a small hole is dug in the bottom, and any previous remains are placed there, to remain after the new coffin is placed. After over 100 years, there eill be very little left of a previous person.
It makes you wonder why he was ok with killing plenty of other mothers knowing the misery of watching his die. Its like the angels tried to save him, tried thier best. But evil grabbed him and won.
In Edinburgh my great uncle's grave was removed to make way for posh housing in a posh area. I was told his gravestone was stacked with others in a corner of what remained of the cemetery. Never knew what happened to his remains. I hope he haunts the place.
All I'm going to say is I'm glad that no one revealed the identity of the elderly woman who is a descendant of Hitler's father, and I'm also glad that Neo-Nazis can no longer use these people's graves as pilgrimage site.
Most graves in Europe end up this way they are rented and when no one pays the rent up you come and are disposed of most people are buried in the town’s cemetery where relatives can walk to leave flowers or say a prayer but after a while no one remembers them and the rent payments stop the population in Europe is rather dense so farmland is important and no one has these private cemeteries where supposedly your body will stay forever but even in America most are eventually abandoned many family graves in the country are just plowed over when the property is sold and the land is needed remember in Europe 500 years is a little while back and most villages are thousands of years old
Why remove the bodies? Aren't people entitled to rest for eternity? These two had nothing to do with their sons crimes.
Stay tuned for this... currently following up with some enquiries to the local area regarding whether exhumations took place or not.

Having plenty of space to bury the dead is not a problem in the US, but many European countries and Latin American countries lease grave plots for x number of years. Once the lease has expired, if the family cannot or will not renew the lease, the remains are exhumed to make room for a new occupant. The previous remains are disposed of in a common grave. In Germany, the lease on my maternal grandparents' graves recently expired, and my Tante Hilde renewed the lease for another 30 years.
@@lindaoneil5085 …I never thought of that. I live in Texas so land is in abundance. In the eastern US, in the original 13 colonies, large cities like NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Providence etc have a premium on space too. I wonder what they do? I figured they buried a person and it was theirs for all time (given the really old grave markers, that’s what I think but could be wrong). Interesting the way different cultures have to do different things.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
@@WyattRyeSway There is a video documentary here on TH-cam titled , "Grave Exhumation Documentary" by Navajo Joe. Thousands of old graves have to be exhumed and reinterred, because the church will be converted to a music and education hall. The whole process is diligently and respectfully handled. It is 35:19 long. Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.
The countries are overcrowded, but they let in hundred of thousands from Africa.. It's crowded only if you're a native European.
US cemeteries are typically maintained by sale of new plots. When the land runs out it is often difficult to keep them financed. most US cemeteries are young enough that it has not yet mattered, but it is a pyramid scheme in the really long run.
The parents are not guilty of their offspring's behavior. Leave them alone.
Leave them alone ? That allows neo-Nazis use their graves as places of worship.
Both Adolf Hitler and Charles Chaplin were born in April 1889 just four days apart. They were the same height, both became known around the world. But for OPPOSITE reasons!
Charles Chaplin still had controversies as well that made the entire hollywood connections stay away from him late in his life. I would too regardless my social class standing. Chaplin was 53 years old when he married an 18 year old. Only they know when their romantic relationship started at.
Agreed on the first part.
But AH was actually about
10 cm taller than CC :
AH stood about 175 cm ,
CC stood about 165 cm.
Didn't Charlie Chaplin decide to leave the USA forever because he had close ties to the communist party in the U.S. and in Europe? I'm not sure exactly why but, Charlie Chaplin departed the USA in the 1950s and never came for at least 20 years because he was worried the U.S. government was looking for him.
Charles Chaplin played the role of Adolf Hitler in the movie 'The Dictator' .
I highly doubt Klara had any say in her marriage to a man 23 years older than her who got her 16 year old self pregnant. I didn’t know her life was so sad.
I'm afraid it was a typical life for that of those who at that time were considered "servant girls" from the lower classes.
As a American, I find it very strange in Europe. It is common that you "rent" graves ? And that if a lease is not renewed. That the remains are gathered and placed further down and someone else will be buried on top ? In the U.S. doing that would be a major scandal ! American would be outraged.
Hitlers behaviour had nothing to do with his parents.
It had nothing to do with the remains being evicted. The person responsible for paying the rents stopped paying.
Yes. He had a choice. And he made it, unequivocally.
His parents had nothing to do with his crimes. Just let the poor bodies rest.
Do you people not listen to what the video said? The rent was no longer paid. It has nothing whatsoever to do with who their son was.
His mother was a good woman. No one can take that away from her! His father is probably the reason or partly, why Hitler was so evil.
Agreed on both.
They had very uncomfortable chairs, we had a lesson on this in primary school in the 1960's, very hard uncomfortable chairs.
I do Believe you are right his Father was probably the trigger for Hitler's evil
Supposedly Alois had a suspicion Adolph was not his son?
You can't really blame Hitler (or Himmler) for their beliefs as antisemitism was then rife in Europe at that time and, so I'm told, especially virulent in the late Austro-Hungarian and German empires (indeed, as was what we would now call racism, heterosexism and male chauvinism). I'd be more surprised if Hitler, coming from the social class he did, had not been antisemitic.
This is wrong what harm did they ever do anybody
None, but people a generally idiot's that make decisions based on emotion.
Um raised a mass murdering evil bastard! Yeah they did know just what he would do. But nurture has alot to do with how a person turns into.
Give life to a Demon!
To blame his parents for what happened, is to ludicrously underestimate what happened in ww2
Who is blaming his parents for WWII?
Alois was a real catch. 😂 Adolph had Klara’s eyes.
Minus the kindness and timidness in hers.
😂😂😂a real catch😂😂😂. As for eyes, yes, they are like Klara's. Her eyes are very beautiful. Dont see that color everyday.
That’s unacceptable. They had nothing to do with what he did, especially his mother! Plenty of people have good AND bad childhoods and never make the choice to do awful things.
Apparently removed at the request of unnamed relatives also the lease was not renewed
desecrating one's final resting place is unacceptable no matter who the person is or who visits the grave.
I agree what harm can they do from their Graves Nothing
I agree that desecrating the deads final resting place is wicked, especially for his parents who did no evil and bad things
Have you seen the piles of bodies at Auschwitz?
Please. I know they “did nothing” but I have little to know compassion for that family, *in toto.*
I'm from Dublin in Ireland and I have a couple of polish friends and they told me that every 20 years you have to pay the cemetery it's like renting a burial plot and if you don't pay the fees your relevant family would be dug up and buried somewhere else in Ireland once you paid for a burial plot that's that's there last resting place you don't have to pay any more money 😢😢
In New Zealand you pay once for what we call a plot. House owners maintain the cemeteries via taxes. Delia Morris
@@nielszindel1151 I didn't know that funerals in Ireland are very expensive 6000 euros and then you own the the grave you can put three family members in one burial plot when I see videos on here of people exploring graveyards it amazes me cos in Ireland the cemeterys have walls and gates about 13 foot high I would love to explore a cemetery at night but it's not worth getting arrested for trespassing 👻👻👍🇮🇪
Pole had murdered tens of thousands of ethnic Germans living within post Ww1 borders. Hitler had been pleading with the polish military to stop the murders. They had built 5 concentration camps for Germans in Bromberg . One day the Poles massacre 5400 German men women and children. Hitler invaded soon after.
Clara seems to have been a sad person, losing two children and then her husband. She certainly looks sad and must have had a very difficult life. No do but Aloud bullied her.
Alois no doubt bullied her - I meant
According to this video Klara actually lost 3 children. The one just before Adolf was born and then the two older siblings from Diphtheria.
She may have been releaved to be rid of Alois. No doubt the household became more peaceful without him.
@@rivermoon6190The video forgot to mention Adolph's younger sister Paula.
Paula was a half sister from Alois' previous marriage, I believe.
I always thought his mother was such a beautiful and abused woman. Her name, her face. Such grace on her face. She would have still loved her son...a mothers love is unconditional and its someone no one but a mother understand. My heart breaks for her life. His father looked like a DOG . Now, he was disgusting.
Hitler's Dad was a shameless philanderer / womanizer. And he was abusive to his Hitler's young Mom, to young Adolf and siblings. Mom Clara became attached to Adolf because he was the only one that survived out of 4 children by Clara. And son Adolf likewise became attached to his Mom Clara because his Old Shit Dad Alois was abusive to his son Adolf.
I agree but that's insulting to dogs. My dogs are so sweet and loving, you can just tell looking at Alois he was mean.
Yeah I think if she would have lived he’d have turned out differently. She looks like such a fragile little lady, beautiful eyes.
I kinda agree with you. We always love our children. We don't always approve of their behavior, stand by what they do or even keep them in our lives. (Obviously Frau Hitler died before her son began his despicable behavior so I'm speaking for myself. I get tired of unthinking platitudes.) If my child were a mass murderer I would no longer trust him/her not continue an association. I WOULD continue praying for him. It's the best, most powerful thing one can do.
Hitler's dad passed away when Hitler was an 13 years old teenager. His father could not have even imagined the evil dictator that he left behind,
I can imagine that Alois would have been proud of his son! He must have been a thoroughly evil man.
I visited his parents graves in 1977.
I also visited the apartment building where he was born.
Today it's a police station.
Here in England you buy a plot and it stays in your family. My father died in 1966 and his grave is still untouched. Also my 3 times great grandfathers grave who died in 1830, is still intact as well.
"This enraged his father, who punished him severely."

Once the lease on a single or family grave expires the Cemetery has the right to remove the headstone, cremate the remains and rebury the cremated remains further below and resell it as a new burial site. Some graves have a perpetuity of 25yrs, 50yrs. I am facing this terrible situation in a couple of years unless I can prove my families graves, consisting of a 15 and 21yr old sibling buried together and my parents who are buried together with these, their children are of historical value. I find this disgusting. I live in Australia.
Hello Helen, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I read oe saw somewhere that Bloch was Jewish and Hitler left him alone after coming to power.

Wow messing with people's graves that had nothing to do with WW2 is totally messed up, it's not there fault there son did what he did shame on these people
Shame on them for removing the grave marker.
Even if it was Adolf Hitler's grave, you don't mess with the dead or history. History needs to be remembered, not destroyed; besides, Klara did her best and she had serious limitations in an unforgiving environment. Alois knew better, but did worse anyways. It doesn't excuse Adolf's character, because he had outstanding role models later in the Army (almost bad luck when your own comrades have a large distain for you) and life that he could've adopted as mentors; but followed a darker path and others joined him both friend and foe alike. I don't understand why people still point fingers at one another, there was no good and evil in that conflict; just bad circumstances and weak minded people behind those bad circumstances that failed to be empathetic towards each other's needs.
Very interesting. If only he’d become an artist. For someone who’d had artist intentions to become the worst monster in human history is unimaginable
Stalin, Mao, pol pot were much worse yet get a pass
He tried twice at Vienna Arts Academy. A jewish professor declined him because of a "lack of talent". Later, that guy ended up in a concentration camp.
@@bustinnutsinslutsbutts
They didn't mess with a protected group of people
@@12yearssoberNope. The difference was they were indiscriminate in thier killings so people didn't think as badly of them.
It's unfortunately not that simple. One of the reasons why he became the worst monster in human history was his desire to carry out his megalomaniacal architectural visions. SOME artists CAN unfortunately be monsters.
Great presentation as always.

Why persecute Parents who had nothing to do with their Evil deranged Son
Hello Amy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I feel the same as most, why go after the parents? So sad. When his nephew moved to the states his children made sure their bloodline would die out. Knowing what Adolf was they knew it was the right thing to do.
I think after the lease runs out, the bones stay in the ground. Personnel digs a new hole, and the next person is laid to rest on top.
Even if the family wants to keep the remains, they won't be easy to recover because there are so many bones in the ground on old cemeteries.
That's what happened with his sister. She was buried near his retreat. Then when no one paid the rent on it someone else was buried on top of her grave.
People are shocked by the stone being removed and the bodies possibly exhumed, but this happens all the time. Leases are temporary, if no one pays to renew it that's what happens. If you think about say your grandparents grave, you would probably renew it. But would your children who never knew them do it ? And what about their childrens ?
That was an excellent comment and very relevant. Indeed, as generations pass away and younger descendants have no concept as to who these people were; they refuse to provide their hard-earned money for a continued grave lease.
Not only they're removing the native people of Europe, but they're also removing the dead. It's getting ridiculous.
That is the lowest thing to do.
What is? The rent wasn't paid anymore. In France, bodies are only interred for 50 years, I believe. Then, they're removed and buried in a catacomb. Then the gravesite is available for a new body. So this isn't about Germany in particular or the Hitlers in particular.
Nobody is automatically a monster based on their name or surname or genetics.
Hello Lorrie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

@@PauloPereira-jj4jvcorporal punishment was common in those days
Napoleon's mom was the one who dished out the punishment. Napoleon wasn't exactly evil. He was just too ambitious for his own good.
It"s hard to wrap my mind around the idea that you lease grave space. My wife and I just finished paying for our burial plots. They belong to us, and they are ours forever. They weren't cheap, we spent years making installment payments, but the are ours now.
In Europe, because of the limited space, graves are generally recycled. By law (in Germany), a grave can be reused after 30 years, either by the family who owns the grave plot, or anyone who purchases it. Burials are always in wooden caskets and bodies are not embalmed,so after 30 years, there isn’t much left. I worked as a back-hoe operator for a small German construction company and my side job was gravedigger. The only things I ever dug up from a 30+ year-old grave were the casket metal fittings and an occasional rib bone.
You don't embalm the bodies in Europe? Really?
Here in Norway, graves are leased for a period (50 years I think) after which the remains are removed and re-interred in a communal grave, unless the family extends the lease.
This enraged his father, who punished him severely
Everyone needs a mom...❤️❤️❤️
He didn't become a civil servant he became a civil master
It’s insane how people can’t even lay down after death and has to be moved or graves destroyed because someone might not like it.
Sounds like the town got rid of their best tourist attraction. Pretty stupid in my opinion.
Yea what a “tourist attraction”
I've never seen that picture at 2:14. I don't think that's Klara Hitler.
I don't understand why they had to destroy the gravestone.
… ✝️gravestone was also destroyed by radical Z***t in holly Land ! 🤮
Nothing strange at all.
This is normal in Germany and Austria.
It is quite normal for the memorial and remains to be very well cared for for a generation or two and then be removed after a time unless someone pays rent for the plot.
See other YT videos which indicate that the majority of Nazis remains have now gone the same way..
What I do find a bit odd is that the oval memorial was not installed straight!
Some Christians take the words of their fourth-century Nicene literally and would consider the treatment of mortal remains such as happens in Austria and The Netherlands as a blasphemy by implying a heresy in the words: *we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.*
No it isn't normal at all
What about the Christian belief in "the resurrection of the body" in the last days, I wonder. I quoted the Nicene Creed in a previous comment but it got removed for some reason.
This is normal since they want to remove all traces of native European people, I'm sure Arab and African tombs will be left alone.
@@JS-wp4gs It is here.
I visited the cemetery in 2012, just a short time after the gravestone was removed. I heard that a descendant of the family made the actual decision, confirmed by the then Mayor of Leonding, Walter Brunner. Just for the record, on the day I visited, in summer, it was belting down with rain all day, and we went about without umbrella's, much to the amazement of the locals 😄
Great video..never knew about his parents mm
I've read what appeared to be legit journalism pieces about the remaining descendants of hitler (I don't capitalize it). If I recall correctly, he had a couple of grand nephews - or something like that - living in the US, at least into the 2000's. They had evidently changed their surnames (of course!) and I think chose to end the family line with themselves. Of course I don't know for sure if it's completely factual, but it's interesting to think about. That man rightly holds a special place in the history of monsters.
Well read The Bad War and you will see who really the evil monster was. Not Hitler!
They're not his descendants, Hitler never had any children. They are however descendants of his brother.
Just Google "Hitler's relatives". A brother had two sons to two different women. A sister had two daughters and one son.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dx I think upwards of around 15-17 million tortured and murdered people, consisting of Jews, Slavs, Romani, and other minority groups might disagree with you, or would have had they survived.
Renting a grave is a wrong thing to do. Always buy where your going to lay to rest.
The evil elite even doesn't allow you eternal rest. Here in Belgium when you are buried and no one pays again after 20 years your remains are exhumed and destroyed like waste so that another person can be buried in that grave. It is a disgrace
That’s just plain wrong.
It’s tough situation. Very complex situation.
I think they mentioned 'rented' graves. The grave plots are temporary in these cases.
We still have Rudolph Hess'es Grave ...........Its gone also
It is customary in some countries, that graves are not considered permanent, and that after a certain period of time, due to the expiry of a lease or to manage the capacity of the cemetery, remains are eventually exhumed and disposed of. I find it quite distasteful, it seems to contradict the very essence of a grave as a “final resting place” and the very idea behind the phrase to “rest in peace.” Here in the U.K. it is customary to purchase the burial rights on a plot (effectively a lease) lasting typically between 25-100 years. The lease can be extended (the landowner is supposed to contact the lessee in advance of expiry to offer that option.) Otherwise the burial rights revert back to the landowner. It makes me wonder about graves we see dating back 200 years or more, but as they presumably predate that system there may be no legal basis to remove them, or perhaps the churchyards (where most of these older graves are located) have a different set of rules applied by the Church, to those of a local council cemetery.
Would the marker have been totally destroyed, or just put into storage somewhere?
Guess offsprings of same family members give unusual children that should never be born

8:20 The black oval with their names looks like it's crooked.
We have a family cemetary on a mountain top deep in the Appalachian mountains.
I don't worry about leasing, buying, or perpetual care.
I dont agree with graves being moved. They were not hitler!
Even if it was Uncle Adolf! Just leave everything as it was. It is history that cannot be erased from brains and books.
'Lay' is the past tense of 'lie' and is commonly used incorrectly in American idiom. And the plural of Hitler is Hitlers, not Hitler's, as it is not possessive. Therefore the subheading at 08:34 should read 'Do the Hitlers still lie inside?'.

Actually only the tombstone and gravemarker were removed.
The bodily remains itself, if there are any left after a rest of nearly 120 years, were left undisturbed.
It is only that their resting place is now anonym, so that neo-nazi-"pilgrims" have no goal for "pilgrimages" anymore.

I am shocked to see this inhuman episode. Alois and Clara his wife were both entitled to a decent burial further undisturbed resting place. Why must another human see fit to disturb the resting place of another human as in this case the Hitlers.
They had nothing to do with the crap there son caused
His father tried to nip it in the bud without killing him.
Their son was a genius and put Germany back as a superpower in just 6 years, the rest of the history is mostly cobblers.

Very very strange
Many places in the world you rent the grave and at the end of the agreement the bodies are moved
Isn’t it true that gave stones are only allowed for 10 years unless someone pays for it to stay up longer? If so, I am sure no one would pay for it.
I remembered a story about Hitler. Yes, his father was too abusive and his mother was so weak to protect him. And, they do not deserved to bury in that area. Shame!
Anyone that removes graves and the remains are sick people themselves. Very Very disturbed.
Petty meanness to desecrate the grave, obviously politically motivated to deter people visiting the grave.
It is European tradition to re-use graves. After a lease is up, a new grave is dug. Any remains are set aside. After the new grave is completed, a small hole is dug in the bottom, and any previous remains are placed there, to remain after the new coffin is placed.
After over 100 years, there eill be very little left of a previous person.
Yes, but there is usually an option to purchase the grave in perpetuity if the family can afford it.
It makes you wonder why he was ok with killing plenty of other mothers knowing the misery of watching his die. Its like the angels tried to save him, tried thier best. But evil grabbed him and won.
Vid stops at 8th min, what happen to bodies?
In Edinburgh my great uncle's grave was removed to make way for posh housing in a posh area. I was told his gravestone was stacked with others in a corner of what remained of the cemetery. Never knew what happened to his remains. I hope he haunts the place.
All I'm going to say is I'm glad that no one revealed the identity of the elderly woman who is a descendant of Hitler's father, and I'm also glad that Neo-Nazis can no longer use these people's graves as pilgrimage site.
Most graves in Europe end up this way they are rented and when no one pays the rent up you come and are disposed of most people are buried in the town’s cemetery where relatives can walk to leave flowers or say a prayer but after a while no one remembers them and the rent payments stop the population in Europe is rather dense so farmland is important and no one has these private cemeteries where supposedly your body will stay forever but even in America most are eventually abandoned many family graves in the country are just plowed over when the property is sold and the land is needed remember in Europe 500 years is a little while back and most villages are thousands of years old
