Raubal, Leo Rudolf Jr., born 01-10-1906, in Linz, 
the son of Leo Raubal Sr., who died 10-08-1910, age 31 in Linz and his wife Angela Franziska Johanna Raubal, Adolf Hitler’s half-sister.
Raubal Jr. worked in Salzburg as a teacher of chemistry. He visited his mother sporadically while she was living in Berchtesgaden. doing the household for Adolf Hitler
Like his younger cousin Heinz Hitler
son of Alois Hitler, Jr. 
and his second wife Hedwig Heidemann. Alois Hitler Jr. 
had failed as a businessman and had a criminal record for theft and bigamy. His pubs did not survive until he opened one in Berlin in 1934. Hitler gave him the starting capital, and it became a much-loved favorite pub for hardcore Nazis. When his Jewish landlord refused to let him expand the pub, Alois used his connections in the Nazi party to have the man evicted from the country.
But unlike cousin, Leo Raubal was a “favorite nephew of the leader”, and Hitler liked to spend his time with him, however, according to William Patrick Hitler, 
Leo did not like his uncle Adolf and blamed the latter for the death of his sister Geli Raubal. 
This, however, cannot be confirmed, with Leo saying in 1967 that Hitler was “absolutely innocent”, according to historian Werner Maser.
Before the war, Leo became a manager of the Linz Steelworks. In October 1939, he was drafted into the Luftwaffe 
and was a Leutnant in the engineering corps. He looked similar to Adolf Hitler and sometimes served as Hitler’s double during the war.
Leo, a look a like of his uncle Adolf,
was injured in January 1943 during the Battle of Stalingrad, and Friedrich Paulus 
asked Hitler for a plane to evacuate Raubal to Germany. Hitler refused and Raubal was captured by the Soviets on 31-01-1943.
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 16-07-1941. Josef Stalin 
refused to exchange him either for Raubal or for Friedrich Paulus, and said “war is war.”
Hitler had also a far nice Aloisia Veit. 
Aloisia Veit was the main reason Hitler tried to keep his family hidden. She was schizophrenic and had been locked up in various institutions for years. When the Nazi top heard rumors of a mental illness in the Führer’s family, Aloisia entered the so-called euthanasia program, which focused on the disabled and mentally ill. In December 1940, 49-year-old Aloisia was gassed.
