Campbell's nine children also have Nazi-related names, including Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honzlynn Jeannie Campbell.

The self-proclaimed Nazi is no stranger to media attention. He made national headlines for asking a bakery to make a "Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler Campbell" cake for his sons third birthday in 2008.

He made headlines again in 2013 for losing custody of the children, and in 2015 for a domestic dispute allegation.

Most recently, Campbell was featured in a documentary called "Meet The Hitlers," where he discusses his affinity for the dictator.
