Little-known facts: Hitler's descendants and the end of the Hitler bloodline

While Adolf Hitler himself never had any children of his own, at least none that have been officially confirmed, both his half-sister Angela Hitler and half-brother Alois Hitler had children.

Of Angela's descendants, only her two grandsons are still alive today. They are Peter Raubal (born 1931) and Heiner Hochegger (born 1945). Both have never had children and at this point are unlikely to.

Of Alois's descendants, only three grandsons are alive today. Originally living under anonymous names in Long Island, they have since been identified as Alexander (born 1949), Louis (born 1951), and Brian (born 1965) Stuart-Houston.

In the book The Last of the Hitlers, David Gardner claims that the Stuart-Houston brothers told him that they have a pact never to have children, so that the Hitler bloodline will die out. Alexander has since refuted this claim. 

However, none of the brothers have ever had children, making the possibility that they have a secret informal pact still possible. Even in the absence of an official pact, it is likely at this point that none of them will have children. I can't resist pointing out the obvious irony that the bloodline of the most infamous eugenics advocate in history is in all likelihood going to disappear within the next 30-40 years.
