Geli’s death date is listed as 1931. Even as late as 1930, if she gave birth to Hitler’s baby (a girl, adopted name Herlind), Herlind could easily have had a daughter (Angela) who is listed as having been born in 1954. A rising political star, Hitler having any child, let alone an illegitimate one (and born of incest - if it would have been considered as such) may have been a huge liability. If, because of that, the baby was taken from Geli or, as was often the case in those days, the mother simply told her baby had died, Geli may have lapsed into depression (perhaps compounded by hormonal post-partum depression) and then taken her own life. Baby Girl Hitler could have been adopted by the Kasners and named, Herlind.
I forgot to add the source of the facial photo of Angela Merkel's mother, Herlind Kasner, shown in the 3-person comparison photo with Geli and Hitler. It was taken from a photo of Angela Merkel standing with her parents in Time Magazine's 2015 Person of the Year expose on Merkel.

>>655592 From Wikipedia: "Horst Kasner was born Horst Kaźmierczak in 1926, the son of a policeman in the Pankow suburb of Berlin, where he was brought up. His father Ludwig Kaźmierczak (born 1896 in Posen, German Empire - died 1959 in Berlin) was born out of wedlock to Anna Kazmierczak and Ludwik Wojciechowski, ethnic Poles and citizens of the German Empire from the Poznań area.[1] Ludwig was mobilised into the German army in 1915.”
Is it possible that Hilter served with Horst Kasner's father, Ludwig, during WWI and/or they were POWs together in Landsberg Prison? If so, Hitler may stayed in touch with Ludwig - or simply met him for the first time while Horst while he was growing up in Berlin. If Hitler had a baby with someone (my best guess is Geli), and knew Horst and his young wife, Herlinde (nee Jentzsch), he may have asked them to adopt the newborn. (Geli would have been told the baby died, after which Geli lapsed into severe depression and took her own life.) The Kasners named the baby girl, Herlind, after the adoptive mother to more firmly cement the fiction that she was their natural child.
>>656239 I just realized that Landsberg Prison is not for POWs but, rather, for criminal incarceration. From Wikipedia. "In 1924 Adolf Hitler spent 264 days incarcerated in Landsberg after being convicted of treason following the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich the previous year." Ludwig may have been imprisoned at Landsberg at the same time, for the same reasons, along with other Kampfbund leaders. That would explain why Ludwig's son, Horst (Angela's adoptive? father), was an active member of the HItler Youth (per Q crumb.)
