The half-brother of Adolf Hitler bigamously married another woman after walking out on his Irish wife in their Merseyside home… before it was blown to pieces by the Luftwaffe.
The evil Nazi dictator's family links to Liverpool and unverified claims that the Fuhrer himself once lodged with his relatives in the city before World War One have long been known.
But details about the incredible womanising life of Hitler's older half-brother Alois Hitler can now be revealed by MailOnline after escaping the attention of many historians.
Alois fled Austria to escape his bullying father when Adolf was still a child, and ended up working as a kitchen porter in Ireland where he met his wife Bridget.
The couple eloped to London where they married before moving in 1910 to a three bedroom flat at 102 Upper Stanhope Street in Toxteth, Liverpool.
