I would dispute your characterization of Hitler's background. His parents were Austrian...is that so far removed from being German? German territory frequently included Austria within its borders.
None of the accurate historical discussions of Hitler's mother claim she was half Jewish. In fact, very little is known about her. The only suggested possibility is that his mother and father were second cousins. One must be very careful about available discussions with respect to Hitler's ancestry...much is heavily influenced by propaganda.

First of all, be very careful using Wikipedia as a source. All sorts of hijinks occur with various editors who have questionable agendas.
Secondly, you linked to an article about Hitler's father, Alois. His mother's name was Klara Polzl. There is some conjecture that Klara and Alois might have been second cousins, but this is debated.
