I am also wondering about being related to him... I have heard stories of being related to Rudolf through my family since we are partially head. I old at someone down the lines immigrated to Canada and dropped a letter in the name Hess which I'm assuming it used to be spelled hoess just like his.. not sure if this was to protect themselves from having the same last name? And I was also watching a show on tv called Hitler's children and Rudolph grandson was on.. my family and him have a shocking resemblance in appearance.. one name I know in my family is a Milton Hess? Can anyone help me out? - Nicole from ontario
