This explains a lot about Hitler. A lot.
2008-11-20
An extraordinary account from a German army medic has finally confirmed what the world long suspected: Hitler only had one testicle. . . . The war tyrantÂ’s medical condition has been mocked for years in a British song.

The lyrics are:
It's time for "Sing Along With Mitch Miller," folks. Follow the bouncing, uh ... ball!
Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but very small,
Himmler is somewhat sim'lar,
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.
Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is on the kitchen wall,
His mother, the dirty b——r,
Chopped it off when he was small.


Until now there has never been complete proof Hitler was monorchic — the medical term for having one testicle. But the document tells how Jambor saw the proof with his own eyes. In the account, he relives the horror of serving as an army medic in World War I. . . .

“For several hours, Johan and his friends picked up injured soldiers. He remembers Hitler.

“They called him the 'Screamer.' He was very noisy. Hitler was screaming ‘help, help.' His abdomen and legs were all in blood. Hitler was injured in the abdomen and lost one testicle. His first question to the doctor was: ‘Will I be able to have children?'"

Hitler’s genitals have long caused controversy. Some historians dismissed the “one ball” song as propaganda. But an alleged Soviet autopsy on Hitler backed it up. Records show Hitler did suffer a groin injury in the Somme.

#10  When was physical evidence a hurdle to Soviet propaganda?

#9  "...an alleged Soviet autopsy on Hitler backed it up"? That must have been interesting... I thought Hitler's body was so burned it was basically unrecognizable, and generally only bone fragments remained.

#7  According to my parents, there was another set of ribald lyrics for the same tune circulating at the Fort Knox armor school in the Korean War, which was supposed to have come from the cavalry originally:

Horse shit, it makes the grass grow green,
Horse shit, it makes the grass grow green . . .

#2  It's sung to the march from the "Bridge on the River Kwai" if you want to try it. The opening scene where they are all whistling, a great musical joke. We used to sing it at High School.
And that is my earworm for today.
