A DNA test has proven that a 46-year-old Austrian farmer is a direct descendent to Adolf Hitler. In Austria's remote Waldviertel region, there are now believed to be some 39 additional Hitler relatives, with the news of the DNA results.

Unsurprisingly, the farmer told reporters he wished he had never taken the test, and hated knowing he had the blood of the world's "greatest criminal" flowing through his veins. Can't exactly blame the guy.

For years, historians believed Adolf Hitler had no living relatives. Since he never married or had kids, and any Hitler would have changed their name after Germany's surrender in World War II, it was believed the bloodline had ended in the 20th century.

That was until a few years ago, when David Gardner, author of "The Last of the Hitlers," tracked down the family of the late William Stuart-Houston. Born William Patrick Hitler, he was the son of Adolf's half-brother Alois and a British woman.

Like his famous uncle, his life would take quite a few twists and turns.
