I think that's an easy one: Hitler is dead and, as far as I know, never had any direct descendants or relatives that could object on valid reasons.

Hitler's (half?) nephew served in the US Navy during WW2. ~~I don't think William has any remaining kin though.~~ Looks like William has four children, 3 of whom may still be alive. None of those 4 have had any children of their own.

A niece or nephew isn't a direct descendant

Why should doing experiments on ones bodily components be an opt-out situation?

Whether it be an opt-out or -in situation is beyond the topic of this question, but neither are applicable here.
