On the morning of 3 January 1903, Hitler went to the Gasthaus Wiesinger (No.1 Michaelsbergstrasse, Leonding) as usual to drink his morning glass of wine. (website #1) He was offered the newspaper and promptly collapsed. He was taken to an adjoining room and a doctor was summoned, but Alois Hitler died at the inn, probably from a pleural hemorrhage. Adolf Hitler, who was 13 when his father died, says in Mein Kampf that he died of a "stroke of apoplexy".[37] The large leather couch on which he died can still be seen today in the inn. (website #1)
The sexuality of Adolf Hitler has long been a matter of historical and scholarly debate. Historians such as Lothar Machtan have argued that Hitler was homosexual or bisexual, and that the Nazi Party's opposition to homosexuality and its persecution of homosexuals demonstrate a reaction-formation defense mechanism of his internalized homophobia. Most scholars dismiss these claims and believe he was heterosexual. He is believed to have had six female lovers; two of these women went on to commit suicide, ( website #2) another died as a consequence of her attempted suicide eight years after it, and one made a failed suicide attempt. There is also at least one claim that Hitler had an illegitimate child with one of his lovers, which has been held to be unlikely or impossible by mainstream historians.

dictator Adolf Hitler was born in Branau am Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889, and was the fourth of six children born to Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. When Hitler was 3 years old, the family moved from Austria to Germany. As a child, Hitler clashed frequently with his father (website #3) . Following the death of his younger brother, Edmund, in 1900, he became detached and introverted. His father did not approve of his interest in fine art rather than business. In addition to art, Hitler showed an early interest in German nationalism, rejecting the authority of Austria-Hungary. This nationalism would become the motivating force of Hitler's life.
