Talk:Maria Schicklgruber

Untitled

She was a housekeeper in the Baron Rothschild's home in Vienna, and he is the likely father of Alois Hitler. Matthew A.J.י.B. 08:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Rothschild nonsense

WP:UNDUE states:

" Articles that compare views should not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views, and will generally not include tiny-minority views at all. For example, the article on the Earth does not mention modern support for the Flat Earth concept, a view of a distinct minority."

The previous version of the Article incorrectly stated that historians discuss four possible fathers for Alois Hitler. While the Frankenberger version is at least discussed (and dismissed), no serious historian takes the Rothschild idea seriously. Accordingly, I have deleted it from the article.--Goodmorningworld (talk) 15:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

For the sceptical: see Talk:Alois Hitler for an exhaustive discussion, with numerous citations, of why the Rothschild idea is a fringe, tiny-minority view.--Goodmorningworld (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Just because something is "fringe" doesn't mean it's nonsense. I can see why the political correctors want to erase the link between Hitler and the Rosthchilds from history however. Fortunately Wikipedia doesn't really have much credibility for politically sensitive subjects 86.134.99.30 (talk) 05:41, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

In popular culture

Not sure it's really worth putting in the article itself, but in a recent episode of the Simpsons, Mr Burns last middle name is Schicklgruber. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.73.70 (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Schekelgruber

This sounds more like an adaptation of shekel grabber, since Hitler stole so much from the Jews. Flimperdoodle (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Fake photos

It is unlikely that a person who died in 1847 (aged 51) was photographed using the daguerreotype, unless she was rich, famous or lucky.

Photographed using some earlier process (earlier than the daguerreotype)? Very unlikely.

And we can rule out her being daguerreotyped when she was under the age of 40 because the daguerreotype was not commercialized yet.

Plus, it looks like modern clothing in the top image. Periwinklewrinkles (talk) 03:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Unsupported claim: "the paternal grandmother of Winston Churchill"

Sounds like trolling. The article also says Alois was her only son (Churchill's father?). There is no reference whatsoever, only this statement in the article's opening sentence. And this opening sentence links "Winston Churchill" to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Benito_Mussolini. What a mess. 2804:30C:A18:8600:40DD:3BE8:1070:A6CB (talk) 13:27, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
