New Scientific Study of Hitler's DNA Revealed Secrets of the Dictator's Personal Life

This is reported by TUT.AZ with reference to aif.ru.

Scientist from the University of Potsdam in Germany Alex Key presented sensational results of Adolf Hitler's genetic material analysis in the documentary "Hitler's DNA: The Dictator's Plan" on British Channel4. The research revealed the presence of a gene associated with genital deformities and serious mental disorders.

"No one could ever explain why Hitler felt so uncomfortable around women throughout his life, or why he probably never had intimate relationships with women. But now we know that he had Kallmann syndrome, this could be the answer we've been looking for," said Key.

The discovery sheds light on the absence of children in Hitler's union with Eva Braun, the expert emphasized.

"10% of people with this type of mutation may have a small penis - a 'micropenis'. A much more common feature is that the testicles typically don't descend to the scrotum," explained Professor of Medicine from the University of Turku in Finland Jorma Toppari.

Despite the destruction of the dictator's body after his death, scientists were able to study his genetic material thanks to an unexpected find. American soldier Roswell Rosengren, without knowing it, preserved Hitler's DNA by taking a piece of blood-stained fabric from his couch as a souvenir.

Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark confirmed the authenticity of the sample by comparing it with the DNA of the Nazi leader's relatives.

The analysis also showed that Hitler belonged to a rare group - just 1% of the world's population - with a predisposition to autism and bipolar disorder. Notably, his third cousin, Aloisia Veit, spent a long time in a psychiatric hospital in Vienna.
