Medical record shows Hitler only had one testicle
 A medical document shows that Adolf Hitler only had one testicle, German media said on Saturday, suggesting there is some truth after all to a popular British song that says the dictator had "only got one ball".That's better than a certain modern leader of the free world can claim. There has long been speculation that Hitler was missing one testicle, with rumors circulating that he lost the other one during the Battle of the Somme in the First World War. But a medical record from the time when Hitler was put in prison after the failed Munich beer hall putsch in 1923 shows he suffered from "right-side cryptorchidism" - a condition where a testicle fails to descend into the scrotum - media reports said. Actually, it may have been found. But we can't be sure until after the autopsy when we open 0bean's skull. The doctor's notes were thought to have been missing for years but reappeared at an auction in 2010, at which point they were seized by authorities. "The experienced medical officer immediately recognized the condition!" top-selling newspaper Bild quoted historian Peter Fleischmann, who has studied the record, as saying. Fleischmann could not immediately be reached for comment. Neither could Hitler. Or his missing ball. Posted by: gorb 2015-12-20 |
