First, off i'm not saying that Hitler had any Jewish ancestry, even though its been rumored that he did(many claims were debunked). However, lets say he did, and it was found out during the height of his power, how do you think that would affect him, the nazi party, and the holocaust, amongst other things? Just wondering.
 
First it would have to get past Dr Goebbels, which would never happen. But proposing it somehow spread through other means, blimey, the whole of Nazi Germany would just implode.

It will be discredited as propoganda by some fringe movement. no one will buy it seriusly, and besides, who will publish it? you dont have internet, people still get all their news from radio and newspapers, which are controled by the government.

Well, its not like things couldn't be spread around back then. For example, Hitler's childhood doctor(who was Jewish) could've found records and made that announcement via radio interview. Or anti-nazi crusades could've gone undercover. There's always ways to find out.
 
I read someplace that someone did DNA testing using some living relatives of his and learned that there was indeed Jewish ancestery present, from North Africa I believe.

IMO nothing important wouldn't happened. Nobody wouldn't believe it. And Goebbels could easily describe it as another foreign communist conspiracy against Germany.
 
This could only happen in Austria before the German takeover. Following the attempted Nazi Coup the Austrian Government could have ordered their intelligence agency (and they would have had one) to look into Hitlers background. If they had found a Jewish conection then it would have been publicised to errode suport for the Nazis in Austria. Without sealing the border to an impossible degree and confiscating all German radios then word would reach the ordinary German at which point Hitlers position in the Nazi Party would be very vulnerable and someone like Himler may try to over throw him.

A thousand times this. (except without double negations:p)
