A letter from William Patrick Hitler, he would change his last name following World War II, to U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has been making the rounds this afternoon. This is mostly because in the letter William Patrick Hitler is practically begging the U.S. President to allow him to enlist and go fight against his Uncle Adolf, yes that Hitler - the Third Reich's infamous Führer.
