The claim that Adolf Hitler was Rizal's progeny must be based on the following facts: 

* Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 (that means he could have been conceived sometime in August, 1888) , in the little village of Braunau, near the German-Austrian border. 

* He was born an Austrian and remained one until the 1930's. 

* The name of Hitler's mother was Klara Polzl. 

* At one time she was a maid, in Vienna. 

* Hitler always considered the town of Linz, in Austria, as his hometown (in his Political Testament he referred to "my home-town of Linz on the Danube."). 

* Hitler's oldest brother, Gustav, born on May 17, 1885, and his sister Ida, born in 1886, both died before he was born. 

* Bavaria was considered the "cradle" of Nazism. 

* The Nazis made Japan one of the Axis powers. At one point they were trying to prove that the Japanese were Aryans to make them members of the "master race." 

Now combine the above information with the following culled from the life of Rizal: 

* On February 1, 1886, he left Paris for Germany. He went to Heidelberg, Wilhlmsfeld, Munich (in Bavaria), all somewhat near the German-Austrian border; on August 9, 1886 he left for Leipzig ("visiting various German cities along the way," one book says), arriving there on August 14. In October he went to Dresden and then to Berlin. 

* In Berlin he finished Noli Me Tangere. One of the book's characters is named Maria Clara. 

* On May 11, 1887, Rizal began his Grand Tour of Europe. He went to Dresden, Teschen (now Decin in the former Czechoslovakia), Prague, and then Brunn (where he lost a diamond stickpin), and Vienna (where he got back his stickpin, which was found by a maid in the hotel he stayed in in Brunn) in Austria . 

* On May 24, 1887, he left Vienna by riverboat to see sights on the Danube River (on the boat he saw paper napkins for the first time). His voyage ended at Linz. 

* From Linz he went to Munich (where Hitler attempted a putsch in 1923) and Nuremberg...
