For Potsdam historian Alex J. Kay, the newly discovered genetic sexual disorder of Adolf Hitler would explain the dictator’s “unusual and almost absolute dedication” to politics.
Based on the sequencing of Hitler’s DNA, it will be released on Saturday Channel 4 from the United Kingdom a documentary titled “Hitler’s DNA: The blueprint of a dictator” (Hitler’s DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator). It will show the conclusions reached by the team led by the renowned geneticist. Purle (famous for identifying the remains of Richard III).
According to the UK Timesthe study offers a shocking insight into Hitler’s sexual development, an analysis of his ancestry, and questions about his neuropsychological and psychological state.
Among the topics analyzed about the Nazi dictator is that of an alleged sexual condition that he would have kept hidden throughout his life.
The research, which according to the British media cited above will be published in a scientific journal, Hitler had the Kallman syndromea genetic disorder that hinders the normal development of puberty and sexual organs.
This information is complemented by a study of Hitler from 1923 discovered in 2015 that revealed that the Nazi leader had a “undescended testicle”a genetic condition that would also have affected his testosterone levels.
A study of Hitler from 1923 discovered in 2015 revealed that the Nazi leader had an “undescended testicle.”«Other senior Nazi officials had wives, children and even extramarital affairs. Hitler is the only one of the entire Nazi leadership who did not. Therefore, I believe that only under his leadership could the Nazi movement have come to power,» Kay concludes.
King, for his part, clarified that “genetics does not at all justify what he did,” and added: “He could have had the most boring genome on the planet. But he didn’t have it”.
What is Kallman syndrome?
Kallmann Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the absence or delay of the onset of puberty together with an alteration in the sense of smell (anosmia or hyposmia)indicates the specialized site Medline Plus.
Men usually present undescended testicles (cryptorchidism), a micropenis in childhood, and incomplete sexual characteristics at puberty, reduced libido or infertility; In women it can manifest as amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or insufficient breast development.
The diagnosis is usually supported by hormonal studies (low levels of LH, FSH and sex hormones), smell tests and genetic studies (multiple genes involved have been identified such as ANOS1, FGFR1, PROKR2, PROK2, among others) that explain its clinical and genetic heterogeneity.
The discovery of 2015
In December 2015 a German historian identified some old Hitler medical recordscorresponding to the time when he was imprisoned in the prison of Landsberg Prison after the failed attempt of Beer Hall Putsch of 1923.
The files were written by the prison doctor Josef Steiner Brin and they indicate that Hitler had “right-sided cryptorchidism”that is, an undescended testicle.
These notes had been presumed lost, but reappeared at an auction in Bavaria in 2010, were then confiscated by the regional government, and only after their study was the anomaly publicly reported.
In December 2015, a German historian identified some of Hitler’s old medical records.The diagnosis of cryptocurrency It would explain, according to researchers, why she never had children, since the condition can be associated with lower fertility.
It should be noted that the discovery does not offer a complete assessment of Hitler’s state of health. nor does it explain their political or ideological behavior. Cryptochidism is a medical condition relatively common and does not necessarily imply other psychological or personality traits.
