Speaking to Bild, the
Namibian politician firmly distanced himself from any association with Nazi ideology, saying he had “nothing to do” with it.
In earlier comments to
BBC News, he explained how he was named: “My father gave me this
name Hitler, he didn't understand what the name Adolf Hitler stood for.… When I was young, it was just a normal name.”
He added that he only realised its historical weight later in life.
Despite his steady political career, Uunona’s rise to global attention came because of his name — identical to that of the German dictator responsible for one of history’s darkest chapters.
