        The worst part is not only he was born before those were offensive, but his last name wasn’t even meant to be hitler, it was a weird misspelling of hiedler or something similar.

          it’s so much stupider, Adolf Hitler was the one with the misspelled name. his dad wanted to adopt his own stepfather’s family name, and misspelled it on the form.

        The town he was in, Pickaway County, Ohio, has several things named Hitler something or other. All of them are related to this guys family, not the other one.
