DNA test confirms that an Austrian man is Hitler's cousin
A 46-year-old farmer in Austria is horrified at the findings of a DNA test which confirm that he is one of the last surviving relatives of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
The man, thought to be a cousin of the former German dictator, is a resident of Waldviertel -- a remote area in Austria which was once home to Hitler's grandmother Anna Schicklgruber, father Alois and mother Klara.
The hidden secret came to light after a Belgian journalist Jean-Paul Mulders -- who had previously garnered some Hitler DNA covertly by taking a serviette dropped by one of three known Hitler descendants -- persuaded the farmer to take a mouth swap test.
Mulders said he had no reason to doubt the findings.
But he added: "I wish I had never done this. Hitler for me was the biggest criminal of all time - there is no argument about that.
"I did the test without really thinking and regret it now," he said.
