A Underused WI: Hitler and his Twin

Most Hitler WIs focus on his death but this is the total oposite WI. What if Hitler had a twin, a male twin?
 
On the other hand, what if it's like an American film and the twins complement each other? Hitler #1 is a stunning speaker, politician et cetera, while Hitler #2 is an economic/military genius who gets to set actual policy?
 
For starting having 2 surviving sons instead of 1 would make Alois Hitler less willing to press hard his heir(s) into following his steps. He wanted Adolf to be a customs agent like him, and became something desperate when Adolf (his "last chance") turned to be a bad student that disliked that job, and at the same time developed some stupid love for art. Alois ended being an abusive father that hit his sons and wife, and Adolf grew hating him and all what he represented. A pair of twins could/would change that, and the result would be an Adolf with a different personality.

At the same time, being two would make the Hitlers more popular in school. Each would have his brother as a base to start his relations with the other children. This was a problem for Hitler in OTL, as his family moved from a town to another very frequently. Both could help each other in the studies and make the couple more successful too (Hitler was pretty bad outside Geography, IIRC) and in turn Alois would be more proud of them, even if none was willing to follow his steps. With some aceptable marks, none of the Hitlers would be so angered with the teacher's pet, Ludwig Wittgenstein. You know, that rich jew kid that was promoted two grades because of his extraordinary marks, and that became one of the most prominent philosophers of the 20th century. Little Adolf was in the same school at Linz (perhaps even in the same classroom for a while) and hated him in OTL.

Hitler could even decide to not go to Vienna after his father's death, or to not join the Arts School if he went. Which would have evident ramifications in his future character. Etc.
 
IF it doesn´t change his complete outlook on life...
I didn't postulate that one way or another. There is probobly much to say about growing up with twins but I don't know that much, neither from personal expirience or from science.
