Medical Records Reveal That The Song 'Hitler Has Only Got One Ball' Was Right
There was one body part that Germany's Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler did have, and that was functioning---just one testicle, says a recent historical discovery.
"The testicle was probably stunted," Prof. Fleischman of Erlangen-Nuremberg University in Germany said, according to the Mirror. He also believed that Hitler might have suffered from an undescended testicle.
In 1923, he had been examined by Dr. Josef Brinsteiner, and when he served a jail sentence, his "right-side cryptorchidism" was revealed after his failed "Beer Hall Putsch".
Like everything else Hitlerian, it was a condition that happened when "one or both testicles" failed to drop when he was a child, said the Daily Mail.
And like other things related to him, his medical records too got lost for decades. However, they later were found during an auction in 2010, after which they were stored in Munich archive by Bavarian state authorities.
In an old wartime song, Colonel Bogey had suggested that Hitler had just one testicle, as the original lyrics enumerated:
"Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but very small,
Himmler has something sim'lar,
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all!"
For a long time, the song was thought to be just a mockery of his condition, a way propagandists had of being sarcastic of him, according to Breitbart. Yet, his medical record now gives testimony for his condition.
The song was right, after all!
