French plumber announces he's Hitler's grandson

Hitler was a gentle lover. That's the word from Philippe Loret, a retired French plumber who claims to be the Nazi leader's only grandson thanks to a "tipsy evening" between Loret's grandmother and a then 28-year-old Hitler. Loret said he was 16 when his father told him about the hateful, mustached side of his family tree, but although he's kept his genealogy quiet until now, Loret is "strangely unperturbed" by his heritage, says The Daily Mail. "What Hitler did to the Jews was wrong," he says. "But some of the things Hitler did were admirable....He built the country up with roads and highways." And obviously that's what everyone remembers about your alleged grandfather, Philippe. The highways.
