【衝撃】ヒトラーのキンタマは1つだった!! 刑務所のカルテで、片玉伝説が史実だと判明!

2015.12.23

誰にでも、他人に知られたくないことがある。それはかつてナチス・ドイツ(第三帝国)の全権を掌握し、優生思想を唱えてユダヤ人をはじめとする多くの人々を死に追いやった総統、アドルフ・ヒトラーも同じだったようだ。なんと、生前のヒトラーがひた隠してきた自身の身体的特徴が、過去の記録から事実であることが確認されたという。

生前のヒトラーが決して明かすことのなかった体の秘密――それはズバリ、「片玉」だということ! そう、彼は睾丸を1つしか持っていなかったのだ。いや、正確には2つあったのだが、右の睾丸が停留精巣(潜伏精巣)の状態だった。

■総統も悩んでいた(?)停留精巣とは

停留精巣とは、睾丸が陰嚢の中に入っていない状態を指す。通常、胎児の睾丸は腹腔内に存在し、それが生まれる頃までに下降して陰嚢内に収まる。しかし、何らかの原因により下降が途中で止まってしまうと停留精巣となり、生後も腹腔内に留まり続けることになる。

発生頻度は男児100人のうち3人程度とされ、現代では2歳頃までに手術を行うことが推奨されている。もしも停留精巣を放置すると、睾丸の発育が妨げられて次第に萎縮、将来はガン化する可能性もあるとされる、なかなか厄介な症状だ。

■都市伝説と化していた「ヒトラー片玉説」

さて、ヒトラーが「片玉」であることは、実は第二次世界大戦中から各国でウワサされており、イギリス軍兵士の間では「ヒトラーのキンタマは1つ(Hitler has only got one ball)」という歌が流行ったほどだ。

なお、1945年のヒトラーの自殺後、旧ソ連が遺体を解剖した結果「片玉」であることが確認されたとの報告も存在するが、そもそもヒトラーの遺体はすぐに焼却処分された説が有力だ。また、アメリカに亡命したヒトラーお抱えのユダヤ系医師、エドゥアルド・ブロッホはインタビューで「ヒトラーの睾丸にはまったく異常はなかった」と答えていることもあり、長らく真実は闇の中、つまり都市伝説と化していたのがこの「ヒトラー片玉説」なのである。

■刑務所のカルテにバッチリ書かれてた!

それが、なぜ今になって本当であることが判明したのか? 真実を突き止めたのは、ドイツのフリードリヒ・アレクサンダー大学で歴史学の教壇に立つペーター・フライシュマン教授だ。

地元紙「Die Welt」が今月18日に伝えたところによると、フライシュマン教授は今回、生前のヒトラーが一時期投獄されていたランツベルク刑務所の資料の中から、1923年のカルテを発見。そこに当時、刑務所の医師だったジョセフ・ブリンステイナーがヒトラーの全身を検査した記録が残されていたのだ。カルテには、ヒトラーの右の睾丸が腹部にあり、陰嚢に入っていないことが明確に記述されていた。

ちなみに、ヒトラーは1923年11月に「ミュンヘン一揆」というクーデターを起こしたが失敗、逮捕されてほかのナチス党員とともにランツベルク刑務所に収監された。要塞禁錮5年の判決を受けたが、実際には8カ月で釈放されている。そして、ナチズムの聖典である『わが闘争』は、この時に執筆されたものである。つまりこれと同時期に、片玉であることがバッチリ文書として記録されていたというわけだ。

さて、今さらヒトラーが本当に片玉だったことが判明しても、歴史は何も変わらない。しかしフライシュマン教授は、「生涯を通して、ヒトラーになぜ子どもがいなかったのかを説明する助けになるかもしれない」と、今後の研究に向けての期待も語っているようだ。ヒトラーの人となりや生涯、そしてコンプレックスについて知ることは、狂気の再来を防ぐという意味でも重要なのかもしれない。

Hitler Only Had 1 Testicle: According To 1923 Medical Records, The Fuhrer Suffered From Cryptorchidism

Adolf Hitler's medical records from a 1923 examination by a prison doctor revealed that the dictator was suffering from a condition known as cryptorchidism, which left him with one undescended testicle. Although the condition would not have affected his health or sex life, it may explain why he never had any children.

Rumors of Hitler’s intimate health issue have lingered since the second World War, but these were famously denied by Hitler’s childhood doctor, Dr. Eduard Bloch, who told American interrogators in 1943 that Hitler’s genitals were “completely normal,” The Telegraph reported. However, recently Professor Peter Fleischmann of Erlangen-Nuremberg University, a German historian, claims to have found indisputable proof that the rumors are true and the once leader of the Third Reich did indeed have only one functional testicle, The German newspaper Die Welt reported.

Before his rise to power in early 1933, Hitler took part in a failed military coup known as Munich Beer Hall Putsch. Here, Hitler and the Nazi party unsuccessfully attempted to gain control of the German government. Following the defeat, Hitler and other Nazi leaders were sent to Landsberg prison. Here, Hitler was sentenced to five years but served only eight months. During his incarnation, as was protocol, Hitler was given a full-body examination by a prison doctor. It was here, according to Fleischmann, that doctors discovered that Hitler’s right testicle still remained inside of his body.

“The testicle was probably stunted,” Fleischman said, as reported by The Telegraph.

What Is Cryptorchidism?

The condition is known as cryptorchidism and occurs in around 1 to 2 percent of male baby boys, The Boston Children’s Hospital reported. Normally, when a baby boy develops in his mother’s womb, the testicles form inside of the abdomen and drop into the scrotum right before birth. However, in boys with cryptorchidism either one or both testicles fail to drop following birth. Some undescended testicles will fall into the correct position within the first few months of a baby’s life, but those which do not may need a surgical intervention.

If the condition is not dealt with, the sperm inside the testicles may be impaired due to sperm’s need to be stored at a slightly cooler temperature. Although Hitler was known to have suffered from impotence in his life, the undescended testicle would not have been the cause of this. Other than decreased fertility, the condition is not known to be associated with any other serious health concerns, although a 2012 report did find that boys born with undescended testicles had a higher chance of developing testicular cancer.

Adolf Hitler really did have only one ball, according to new medical report

Long-lost medical documents from Hitler's examination by a prison doctor when he was jailed after the failed Munich beer hall putsch reveal he had an undescended testicle, confirming the old song

It appears the notorious Second World War song may have been right all along. New evidence has emerged that Adolf Hitler may have suffered from an undescended testicle.
Ever since British soldiers started singing it to the tune of Colonel Bogey, debate has raged over whether there is any truth to the assertion that Hitler was missing a vital appendage.
Now a German historian claims to have discovered incontrovertible proof, in the form of medical records.
In 1923, Hitler was examined by a prison doctor after his arrest following the failure of his first attempt to seize power in the Munich Beer Hall Putsch.
The records of that examination clearly show that Hitler had an undescended testicle on the right side, according to Prof Peter Fleischmann of Erlangen-Nuremberg University.
• Spanish dictator Franco 'only had one testicle'
On November 12, 1923, Hitler had to undergo the indignity of a medical examination on his arrival at Landsberg prison.

The records of that examination were long thought lost, until they surfaced at an auction in 2010. They were promptly confiscated by the Bavarian government and have only now been properly studied.
Dr Josef Steiner Brin, the prison’s medical officer’s notes record “Adolf Hitler, artist, recently writer” as “healthy and strong” but suffering from “right-side cryptorchidism”.

Cryptorchidism is when the testicle fails to descend properly.
“The testicle was probably stunted,” Prof Fleischman said.
The new findings appear to contradict claims that Hitler lost a testicle to a shrapnel injury in the First World War.
In an account that was only discovered in 2008, Franciszek Pawlar, a Polish priest and amateur historian, claimed a German army medic who treated Hitler after the incident told him about the injury. They also appear to contradict the account of Hitler’s childhood doctor, Eduard Bloch, who told American interrogators in 1943 the Fuhrer’s genitals were “completely normal”.
In very rare cases, cryptorchidism can develop later in life.
A practising Jew, Dr Bloch stayed in Austria under Hitler’s personal protection until 1940, when he emigrated to the US.
The Soviet autopsy carried out on Hitler’s remains in the Fuhrerbunker after the fall of Berlin found that one testicle was completely missing — although, curiously, it recorded the left testicle as absent.
If Hitler did have an undescended testicle, it could explain why he had no children, as it is often linked to reduced fertility.
It would not necessarily have affected the Fuhrer’s sex life, as there is not generally a link to impotence.
The popular song emerged in 1939 and is thought to have been written by a publicist for the British Council, which was tasked with helping build propaganda that would damage the Nazis.
The commonly-recalled version is an adaptation of the original, which ran: "Goring has only got one ball, Hitler's [are] so very small, Himmler's so very similar, And Goebbels has no balls at all."
