Researchers claim Adolf Hitler could have had black and Jewish ancestors -- the very same sub-human groups he earmarked for extermination during his 12-year reign. Tests on a DNA sample taken from one of his relatives show that the dictator could have had north African roots. A journalist working for a magazine in Brussels managed to get hold of a sample from Alexander Stuart-Houston, a grand-nephew of Hitler living in America, after picking up a serviette he had dropped. Reporter Jean-Paul Mulders used the services of historian Marc Vermeeren to find Hitler's Austrian cousin, a farmer called Norbert H, and 39 other distant relatives of the Fuehrer. Norbert H then gave Vermeeren and Mulders a sample of his saliva. Using both the Austrian sample and the serviette DNA, Mulders claims the link between the two men was "irrefutable", adding, "the Y-chromosome was identical." Mulders added, "One can postulate from this that Hitler was related to people whom he despised and tried to annihilate." Theu00a0 DNA was tested under stringent laboratory conditions.
