It was Hitlers father who used "Hitler" instead of Hiedler" as last name first.

#3 I like how they call it facts, yet this one is even described as a wild guess.
Calcimo
Isn't the fact here that nobody even bothered to check the distress signals?
antman2988
I checked the first four and they're true. The first you can find on several major news sites.
Syralight
Number 3 has no evidence at all.
antman2988
The one about the four men is on several small sites and it's quite interesting to read. Oh the Washington post wrote an article.
antman2988
The one about the trees is true. The CheChem tree grows next to the tree with its antidote.
antman2988
The one about Amelia Earhart is true. 57 of the signals received were credible as being sent from her plane. Were ignored.
antman2988
Idk if anyone else wants to check the others. And I was able to find these on sites other than Wikipedia. Just FYI.

Adolf Hitler did NOT misspell his grandfather's last name. His father's birth name was Alois Schicklgruber. Alois' father's last name 1/3

was Hiedler (it's not certain exactly who his father was, BUT his last name was Hiedler). Alois changed his last name to Hitler in 1877. 2/3

It's not certain who changed the spelling and why, but it sure as fuck wasn't the unborn Adolf. 3/3

High school is the hardest time in every gay dictator's life.

That's Dr. Gay Hitler to you.

Back then it was fine being Gay.

Wasn't Hitler's real last name Schickelgruber?
perey
Why was he only named Gary Mathias after attending the game, and what was he named before?
throwiewayay
Yar, these always seem so damn sloppy and less trustworthy than a shortened link.
TacoCatte42
Some of these are sort of true but Amelia Earhart "likely" crashed into the ocean and drowned. Anything else is just a conspiracy theory.

And even if she had a radio, there was no way it had the reach to get to anyplace populated.

Lack of evidence.

I thought there was a pretty popular theory that she was downed over the Solomon Islands and held by the Japanese?

Because they're crazy.

Draevan13
The Hitler/Hiedler one. His father changed the family name from "Schicklgruber" to "Hitler" before Adolf was born. It was never "Hiedler".
cinsoniTe
Not true. It was "Hiedler" but got changed by Hitler himself because of its sharper sound.
Draevan13
Only info I can find says he was christened Adolphus Hitler, but his father Alois sometimes spelled his own name Hitler, Hütler, or Hiedler

It doesn't say she committed murder. It says she was convicted of murder. Would hardly be the first time this has happened.

I'm shocked that she was framed by police. Idk anything about the bank robbery part tho.

Hardly a saint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assata_Shakur#Criminal_charges_and_dispositions
IAmDrBanner
But it is true that she is unlikely to have shot the guy in Turnpike.
amp99
Fact she was indicted 10 times & convicted once (in 'questionable' circumstances) says more about American 'justice' system than her, IMHO.
amp99
View it in the context of the time. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton#1969_raid_and_death
Asteroidrules
In her autobiography she continues to deny her involvement in the murder, but openly admits to being involved in numerous terrorist acts.

Can you give some examples, please? I haven't read her autobiography.

The part about his family in Circleville is true. I'm from that area (Lancaster), it was settled by German Lutherans & the Hitler's >

Never know, maybe his unborn spirit traveled back in time and visited the father in a dream. I mean babies are bad at spelling D:

According to the article on Wikipedia it's extremely hard, since they've never come to a conclusion about it...

4. Although the car was stuck in a snow drift, it was in perfect working order, and the 5 men should have had little difficulty pushing it

What's also weird is that two of them weren't actually diagnosed as being handicapped. And they both served in the military.

I'm sure if it's true that the Abe Lincoln speech must have been a great speech, but those reporters literally only had one job.

People of yesteryear seem to have been more easily shaken/shocked. Even as recently as the Exorcist movie premiere w/the fainting & puking.

The greatest event happened 5000 years ago but no one was there to tell the tale so we don’t know what happened

If it makes you feel any better, none of them are employed as reporters any longer.

I always imagined that the speech was really bad or maybe really honest and out of respect the reporters decided not to share it.

If it was so enthralling, how did no one remember it? At least take your notes once he's done. Unless Abe used magic alien hypnosis.

You know, I've considered it but, as I said, there is little information about it. It's on the first page of Google, but I think that's it.

I agree. Is there a local museum or historical society that is willing to help? Maybe try reaching out.
