Leo Rudolf Raubal Jr. (2 October 1906 – 18 August 1977) was an Austrian half-nephew of Adolf Hitler who served in the German Luftwaffe during World War II.

[1] According to William Patrick Hitler, Leo did not like his uncle Adolf and blamed the latter for the death of his sister Geli.

[3] He was injured in January 1943 during the Battle of Stalingrad,[4] and Friedrich Paulus asked Hitler for a plane to evacuate Raubal to Germany.

Hitler gave orders to examine the possibility of a prisoner exchange with the Soviets for Stalin's son Yakov Dzhugashvili, who had been captured by the Germans on 16 July 1941.

However, unlike Raubal, William Patrick, who fought with the United States during World War II and even changed his last name to Stuart-Houston, was not on good terms with Adolf Hitler, even publicly denouncing him by 1938.
