    Edit: I see, you saw the couch thing. You probably mean that we don’t know where it was for those 80 years.

    Edit 2:

    Work had already been done in this area. In 2008, a Belgian journalist called Jean-Paul Mulders had debunked a story about a potential Hitler descendant. In doing so, Mulders found a relative of Hitler who shared a common paternal ancestor: a straight line of male ancestry meant that their Y chromosome would be identical.

    When this sample was compared with the blood from the Rosengren swatch, the match was perfect. With no risk of cross-contamination, it had to be Hitler’s DNA. The 80-year-old sample is as degraded as it should be and this type of Y chromosome is rare, making the chances of a mistake all the more remote.
