History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Did Hitler Have A Son?

In 1917, a young Adolf Hitler was fighting the French in World War I. While he was on a weekend getaway in a local French town, he met Charlotte Lobjoie, a 16 year old with whom he would have an affair. The French teen would become pregnant and give birth to a boy in 1918. 

Jean-Marie Loret, who died in 1985 at the age of 67, had fought for the French Resistance in 1939 under the code name 'Clement'. Before his mother's death in the early 1950's, she told him that the dictator was his father.

The rumor had surfaced a few times over the years, but apparently new evidence  which seems to support the story is currently being investigated. The above picture alone lends credibility to the theory.
