"I feel good about it," he said. "Now all I need is my kids back."

Accusations of domestic abuse
The self-proclaimed Nazi gained infamy in 2008 when a supermarket refused to decorate a cake with "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler" for the third birthday of his son Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Shortly after the story broke, young Adolf and his two siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, named after SS commander Heinrich Himmler, were moved into state care. Heinrich Hons was born later and seized by authorities within days. Hitler's daughter Eva Braun, from a different mother and named after the Nazi leader's girlfriend, was also taken into state care.
Authorities cited domestic abuse rather than poor name choice for their decision. He was later sentenced to jail for domestic violence.
Hitler once turned up to family court in a Nazi uniform when trying to regain custody of his children, saying a good judge would see what was in the inside rather than what was on the outside.
"Prisoners get to see their children, murderers get to see their children. What's so horrible about being a Nazi?" Hitler was quoted as saying by the "New York Post."
"I just want to be a dad. I just want to prove I'm a good father, because I am ... So what if I'm a Nazi, who cares?"
