Heinrich Hitler (March 14, 1920 - February 21, 1942), nicknamed "Heinz", was the son of Alois Hitler Jr. and his second wife Hedwig Heidemann and nephew of Adolf Hitler. When the Second World War began, he joined the Wehrmacht and served on the Eastern Front, where he was captured and died in prison in 1942.

Unlike his half brother William Patrick Hitler, Heinz was a Nazi. He attended a Nazi elite military academy, the National Institutes of Education Policy (Napola) in Ballenstedt / Saxony-Anhalt, and aspired to be an officer. Heinz joined the Wehrmacht as a non-commissioned signaling officer with the Artillery Regiment 23 at the Potsdamer Square in 1941, and participated in the invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa. On January 10, 1942, he was captured by Soviet forces and sent to the military prison in Moscow Butyrka, where he died, aged 21, after several weeks of interrogation and torture. Bibliography
