Hitlers

Hitlers is a German surname. It is most closely associated with Adolf Hitler (1889–1945), the dictator who led Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. As head of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, he oversaw policies that led to the Holocaust—the genocide of six million Jews—and aggression that sparked World War II. Under his regime, millions of others were persecuted and murdered. The surname thus carries strong historical associations with Nazism and is highly stigmatized in many contexts.

Other individuals bearing the surname include Alois Hitler (1837–1903), Adolf's father, and Klara Hitler (1860–1900), his mother. A more distant relative, William Patrick Hitler (1911–1987), was Adolf Hitler's nephew who lived in the United States and later used different names.

The exact origin of the surname is not precisely documented, but it is a German-language name; today it remains relatively uncommon outside German-speaking regions. In historical and scholarly contexts, the name is typically discussed in relation to Adolf Hitler and the events of the Nazi era.
