Scientists finally reveal hidden truth behind Hitler’s 'micropenis'

Along with his reputation as history's most evil dictator, Adolf Hitler was also said to have had a 'micropenis'.

Stories from soldiers who fought during the First World War allege that the Nazi dictator was often bullied by his comrades for the size of his genitals.

A medical examination which took place in 1923 - the findings of which were unearthed in 2015 - also claimed that Hitler suffered from an undescended testicle. This, Nazi Germany historian Alex J Kay previously claimed, could help to explain his 'highly unusual and almost complete devotion to politics'.

As we say, however, attempting to firm up this lost standing accusation, a team of scientists recently dove deep into his remaining DNA - and what they found was astonishing.

Not only were investigators able to confirm that Hitler did obtain a rather minuscule member, but they were able to reveal why.

According to the brains behind the incoming Channel 4 documentary Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator, the Austrian leader secretly suffered from a genetic disorder that likely put a stop to the development of his genitalia.

Apparently, Hitler was a victim of Kallmann syndrome, a condition of the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism group, which prevents a person from fully completing puberty.

Along with reducing a person's sense of smell, the syndrome affects a person's reproductive features.

In men, this can include a lack of testicular development, poorly defined secondary sexual characteristics, undescended testicles, infertility and, in around five-ten percent of cases, a 'micropenis'.

This means Hitler had a 'one in ten chance' of having a micropenis

A sample of bloodstained cloth that an American soldier cut from the sofa upon which Hitler committed suicide in Berlin in 1945 was investigated, confirming the truth behind the allegations.

Though many had initially remained reluctant to carry out the study, Professor Turi King insisted that she and her team wanted to make sure it was done right, telling viewers: "I agonised over it."

She continued: "But it will be done at some point, and we wanted to make sure it’s done in an extremely measured and rigorous fashion. Also, to not do it puts [Hitler] on some sort of pedestal."

"If he [had looked] at his own genetic results, he would almost certainly have sent himself to the gas chambers," she continued, referencing the genocide of European Jews by Nazi leaders during World War II, during which two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population were murdered under Hitler's rule.

Scientists featured in the documentary - which also debunked the rumour that Hitler had Jewish ancestry, and proved he was likely neurodivergent - explained that his small sexual organs would have almost certainly affected his ability to form intimate relationships.

Also featuring in the upcoming production, historian Kay explained: "Other senior Nazis had wives, children, even extramarital affairs. Hitler is the one person among the whole Nazi leadership who doesn’t.

"Therefore, I think that only under Hitler could the Nazi movement have come to power."
