"Mocked for Having Only One Testicle"—Hitler’s DNA Analysis Reveals the Truth

[The Financial News] New research suggests that Adolf Hitler, the former dictator of Germany, may have suffered from the rare genetic disorder known as Kallmann syndrome. Led by a team of British researchers, the analysis of Hitler’s DNA points to sexual development issues and a heightened risk of several mental illnesses. These findings are set to be featured in an upcoming documentary.
According to international media including Agence France-Presse (AFP) on the 13th (local time), an international research team led by Turi King, director of the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath, is set to announce that Hitler likely suffered from Kallmann syndrome, a condition marked by a deficiency of hormones necessary for sexual development. The findings will be presented in the Channel 4 documentary "Hitler’s DNA," airing on the 15th in the UK.
Although Hitler’s body was incinerated shortly after his suicide, it is reported that Roswell Rosengren, a U.S. Army colonel, secured a bloodstained piece of cloth from the sofa in the bunker where Hitler died. This cloth provided the key DNA sample for the analysis.
During World War II (WWII), a song mocking Hitler’s masculinity—claiming he had only one testicle—became popular among Allied forces. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting this claim.
Alex Kay, a professor of history at the University of Potsdam and an expert on Nazi Germany, noted, "The reason Hitler was uncomfortable around women and unable to form close relationships has long been a mystery," adding, "Kallmann syndrome could be the answer we have been seeking."
Kallmann syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by dysfunction in the organs that produce gonadotropins. It is characterized by abnormal genital development, low testosterone levels, loss of smell, and irregular secondary sexual characteristics.
According to the documentary’s production team, the research indicates that not only was Hitler highly likely to have suffered from Kallmann syndrome, but he also ranked in the top 1% for genetic risk factors associated with autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
There are also numerous testimonies that Hitler was extremely reluctant to undress in front of others and did not engage in physical relationships with the women he lived with.
Additionally, the medical records of his personal physician, Theodor Morell, indicate that Hitler regularly received testosterone injections. The research team believes these treatments were likely intended to address symptoms of Kallmann syndrome.
However, the researchers emphasized that Hitler’s genetic traits cannot explain or justify his militarism or racist policies.
There were past rumors that Hitler’s grandmother became pregnant by her Jewish employer, implying Hitler had Jewish ancestry. However, DNA analysis showed that his Y chromosome data matched that of his paternal lineage.
Professor Turi King pointed out that Hitler’s physical and psychological instability stood in stark contrast to the eugenics ideology he espoused. She added, "If Hitler had seen his own genetic results, he would almost certainly have sent himself to the gas chamber under his own eugenics laws."
