        Hitler had no known offspring. His relatives did, and those children decided to not have children so Hitler’s line would die out.

          Tbh if they’re not direct descendents, his line is already gone. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Is my 10th cousin 11 times removed part of my line?

            I can imagine if Hitler was you uncle for example, you might consider your potential children part of his line.

              They’re really not, but if the people involved are filled with extreme disgust as they probably are, I can see how they might see it differently.
