Jean-Marie Loret, born Jean-Marie Lobjoie (18 or 25 March 1918 – 13 February 1985) was a French railway worker and allegedly Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's illegitimate son. According to Loret, his mother revealed to him in 1948 (a few years before her death) that Hitler was the "unknown German soldier" with whom she conceived a child during World War I. Hitler's valet Heinz Linge claimed in his memoirs that he witnessed Heinrich Himmler speak over the phone with Hitler, implying he wanted to find a woman and her son in their French village. Loret's claim was backed by German historian Werner Maser, who first brought the claim to public attention in 1977 following an article in Zeitgeschichte magazine. Read more on Wikipedia
