Is it true that Adolf Hitler had a nephew that served in the US Navy in World War II?

Q.

A. hitler had a neice...so much for him not being able to have a nephew

"Adolf Hitler had an older half-brother, Alois, who was a bit of a ne'er do well and a wastrel and who had already been in prison twice for theft, before he went to Dublin, Ireland via Paris around 1909 where he worked in the Shelbourne Hotel as a waiter. There he met an Irish girl, Briget (or Brigid â the spelling varies!) Dowling and the two of them eloped to Liverpool, England where they married.

Her family were most upset by this marriage and were not reconciled to her until, in 1911 William Dowling, Brigid's father, attended the christening of his grandson, William Patrick Hitler in Liverpool.

At this time the Hitler family were living at 102 Upper Stanhope Street in Toxteth, a Liverpool suburb.

In the 1930s young William Patrick Hitler became a socialite and decided to trade on the glamour of his surname. He moved to Germany in the hopes that his connection to Uncle Adolf would guarantee him an easy ride in the Third Reich.

He bummed around Berlin and the Führer was not impressed.

In early 1939 William Patrick and his mother, under the aegis of William Randolph Hearst left England and went to the United States on a lecture tour where he had audiences of up to 1,500 a night.

After War between Germany and England broke out the two decided to remain in the United States.

In 1944 American moviegoers were startled to see flash on the screen. "Hitler joins US Navy". It was true, but it was William Patrick they were talking about.

Almost unbelievably, the man who signed William Patrick into the US navy carried the surname Hess. "

Need a list of good hotels in Dublin, Ireland. Help?
Q. I'm planning a trip for 3 people to Dublin for the summer. Staying about a week. Hotel reviews are all iffy at best. One person will say a hotel was the best they ever stayed at, the other will say they it was a dump and near a methadone clinic (I seriously read that).

We don't mind sharing a room. We understand that European hotels rooms are smaller than U.S. ones; we just want a clean room in a safe area. If anyone has been (or lives there) and can recommend one, that would be great. Thanks!

A. I've stayed in some sh!tty hotel rooms in the US that were next to all sorts too.
You get what you pay for.
If you go cheap expect cheap.
Why don't you try the Conrad or the Shelbourne or the Merrion.
Some of Jury's hotels are nice too.
The Gresham is in the middle of O' Connell street and is nice and you will be in Dublin City Centre close to all amenities.
