New evidence has emerged to support the controversial claim that Hitler had a son with a French teenager, the French magazine LePoint reported on Friday.

The man, Jean-Marie Loret, claimed to be the Fuhrer's son in 1981, when he published an autobiography called "Your Father's Name Was Hitler." He died four years later aged 67, not being able to prove his family line.

But Loret's Paris lawyer, François Gibault, told the French magazine that a number of photographs and documents can now support the claim.

He also revealed how Loret got to know about his parentage....
