In The Media
The family's story and Bridget's memoirs were first published by Michael Unger in the Liverpool Daily Post, 1973.
Beryl Bainbridge's 1978 novel Young Adolf depicts the alleged 1912–13 visit to his Liverpool relatives by a 23-year-old Adolf Hitler. Bainbridge and Phillip Saville also wrote a BBC Play for Today based on her book (and based in part on Unger's work), broadcast in 1979.
Unger also edited Bridget Dowling's memoirs which were first published as The Memoirs of Bridget Hitler in 1979; a completely updated version, titled The Hitlers of Liverpool, was published in 2011.
Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell's 1989 comic book "The New Adventures of Hitler" is likewise based on the Liverpool visit. It sparked controversy in the early 1990s and has not been reprinted.
In October 2005, The History Channel aired a one-hour documentary entitled "Hitler's Family", in which William Patrick Hitler is prominently profiled along with other relatives of Adolf Hitler.
In April 2006, "Little Willy", a play by Mark Kassen examining the life of William Patrick Hitler, opened at the Ohio Theater in New York before moving on to the West End in London.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
