But the thought had occurred, what if I had dated one or both of Hitler's daughters? And/Or what if one or both of his daughters followed in his footsteps? I see a couple of really good fictional book ideas based on the possibility that he had two daughters. Also, I could see an Andy Warhol-style movie production based on the books.
Not sure if you're replying to me, but I was arguing that he did NOT escape/survive. Then I granted that he could've had a few daughters. As a result of several early affairs with women (why should we assume he would be content with only Jean-Loret's mother?), before he entered into politics. Leni Riefenstahl noted that Hitler had briefly laid eyes on her before turning his gaze away during one of their walks.
The real question should be:
Did the hypothetical mother(s) keep from the hypothetical daughter(s), about what recently transpired in Germany, about
their possible ancestry, until she was older, so that she could live a normal life free of worry/shame. Case in point:
The parents of Beria's son did not tell him about what was really going on in the Soviet Union until he was older: "For a long period he spoke to me in allusions. Perhaps he considered that I was too young, or he was afraid of turning me into a cynic." "She was afraid, too, lest I become a cynic, and protected me from the world so far as she could."
However, if there's a chance they ended up like Himmler's daughter, who embraced nazism, that would be reason for concern. When Rochus Misch's daughter heard from her mother that she may be Jewish (which Misch would angrily deny), I believe it was said that she started contributing heavily to the Jewish community, possibly out of guilt and solidarity. At the least, learning about one's ancestry makes one curious enough to conduct investigation.
So based on historical parallels, I think it's worth keeping an open mind about the daughters.
