But Hitler himself is believed to have some BLACK AFRICAN blood...

This from BLACK DUTCH

Schwarzer Deutsch or Black Germans, found along the Danube River in Austria and Germany, in the Black Forest and, to a lesser extent, along the Rhine River, have dark hair and eyes, unlike the fairer people both north and south of them. Their descendants in America may be called either Black Dutch or Black German.

The origin of their dark coloration is ancient, from the Roman army in the third and fourth centuries, C.E. The Roman army of this time period was mostly made up of German mercenary soldiers, but along the German border, the Romans preferred to station non-Germans. The army on the Danube was mostly drawn from Garamante soldiers. The Garamante (called Tubu now) were Black Africans from the central Sahara. Now the Tubu live in northern Chad, eastern Niger and southern Libya. They are not usually found north of Marzuk in Fezzan or Kufra in Cyrenaica now, but in Roman times they ranged north to the central coast of Libya and to Ghadames in southern Tunisia. As well as Garamante, there were some Iranic people stationed on this frontier, especially Sarmatians (called Ossets now) and Scythians (Ashkenazi in the Bible) from southern Russia and the Ukraine. These African and Iranic soldiers left many descendants who tend to have black, heavy hair and dark eyes even yet.

Beethoven and Hitler are two famous examples of this group. It is interesting to imagine Hitler's reaction to someone telling him he probably got his heavy, black hair from Black African ancestry...

That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Hitler was blond at birth, and had blue eyes. He was about as African as Pat Boone.

So in the battle scene at the beginning of the movie "Gladiator" the Roman Army should have been black?

Silly me, I always thought the black swedes and Irish got the dark looks from the invading Spanish, not black romans.
Where were all the black germans during the Berlin olympics
why were they not cheering visably for Jim Thorpe. Revisionist history is confusing.

Beethoven had blond hair and Hitler had blue eyes.
