Thread: Medical record shows Hitler only had one testicle

BERLIN (Reuters) - 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".

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.

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.

Medical record shows Hitler only had one testicle: media

So it's possible then that the other is in the Albert Hall?

Poor old Goebbels!

cryptorchidism - a condition where a testicle fails to descend into the scrotum

So he probably had two, but one hadn't descended into the scrotum.

What on earth was you Googling to come up with this bit of news ??

he might have won if he had two...

Attacking the Soviet Union took stupidity, not balls.

Nah, if he hadn't launched Barbarossa, then Stalin would have attacked him!

I have three....

Serious question. Why would this be of any interest to anybody?

Well you took time to respond

As a Dr you understand that many under achievers gave themselves bogus titles Fuherer, Stormbarnfurrier,Obergroperlether etc

I hardly think Schicklgruber or Bonaparte could be described as underachievers. I think your standards may be excessively high.

And Lo Hitler and napoleon reached the Pearly Gates and were sent into the woghouse to burn in Hell.

Two scousers arrived next and St peter asked

I mistakenly thought medical records were private info

One testicle - Hitler may have been hungry.
