LONDON — Adolf Hitler most likely suffered from the genetic condition Kallmann Syndrome that can manifest itself in undescended testicles and a micropenis, researchers and documentary makers said Thursday, following DNA testing of the Nazi dictator’s blood.
The new research also quashes the suggestion that Hitler had Jewish ancestry.
Popular Second World War songs often mocked Hitler’s anatomy but lacked any scientific basis.
The findings by an international team of scientists and historians now appear to confirm longstanding suspicions around his sexual development.
“No one has ever really been able to explain why Hitler was so uncomfortable around women throughout his life, or why he probably never entered into intimate relations with women,” said Alex Kay of the University of Potsdam.
“But now we know that he had Kallmann Syndrome, this could be the answer we’ve been looking for,” he said.
The research findings are featured in a new documentary, “Hitler’s DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator”, due to be broadcast on Saturday.
The testing found a “high likelihood” that Hitler had Kallmann Syndrome and “very high” scores — in the top one percent — for a predisposition to autism, schizophrenia and biopolar disorder, programme makers Blink Films said.
The research team stressed that such conditions, however, could not explain or excuse Hitler’s warmongering or racist policies.
Over 50 million people are estimated to have died in the Second World War, including six million Jews who were systematically murdered.
No Jewish grandfather
The testing was made possible after researchers obtained a sample of Hitler’s blood from a piece of material taken from the sofa on which he shot himself.
Kallmann Syndrome often results in “low testosterone levels, undescended testicles and can result in a micropenis,” Blink Films said.
The DNA results additionally rule out the possibility that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather via his grandmother, who was rumoured to have got pregnant by an employer in whose house she worked.
“Analysis of the DNA debunks this myth by showing that the Y chromosome data matches the DNA of Hitler’s male line relative. If he had Jewish ancestry (through an outside relationship), that match wouldn’t be there,” the production company added.
Geneticist Turi King, known for identifying the remains of medieval king Richard III and who also worked on the project, said Hitler’s genes put him in a category of people who were often sent to the gas chambers by the Nazis.
“Hitler’s policies are completely around eugenics,” said the expert in ancient and forensic DNA at the University of Bath in western England.
“If he had been able to look at his own DNA… he almost certainly would have sent himself,” she said.
The two-part documentary is scheduled to begin on the U.K.’s Channel 4 on Saturday.

Small penis linked ‘Golden State Killer’ to sex assaults
According to a new book written by Sacramento, Calif., district attorney Thien Ho, it was the small penis of Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. that helped cops link him to many crimes

Joseph James DeAngelo, the suspected "Golden State Killer", appears in court for his arraignment on April 27, 2018 in Sacramento, California.
It appears the Golden State Killer was caught because of a very tiny physical feature.
According to a new book written by Sacramento, Calif., district attorney Thien Ho, it was the small penis of Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. that helped cops link him to many crimes.
The book, The People vs. the Golden State Killer, outlines how cops believed DeAngelo, who was arrested on suspicion of crimes around California, might have also been a suspect they named the “East Side Rapist.”
DeAngelo was believed to have killed at least 12, sexually assaulted more than 45 people and burglarized hundreds of homes in California in the 1970s and 1980s. For his crimes, DeAngelo was nicknamed the Golden State Killer.
Ho wrote that victims of the sexual assaults all described the suspect as having a small manhood.
“I need circumstantial evidence corroborating his identity as the EAR (East Side Rapist). I need to confirm the extreme smallness of his penis,” Ho wrote, per Page Six.
Ho noted there was no DNA linking DeAngelo to the cases.
A photo of accused rapist and killer Joseph James DeAngelo is displayed during a news conference on April 25, 2018 in Sacramento, California.
After DeAngelo was arrested, police and a photographer had the task of taking pictures of his genitalia. In the book, Ho wrote that the cameraman kneeled down to do the task, but “grew frustrated after several failed attempts.”
“(One of the cops) threw up his hands in the air in exasperation and barked … ‘There’s nothing there,'” Ho wrote.
Cops described De Angelo’s penis as being “smaller than the circumference of a dime,” and its length is “equal to the tip of your pinky.”
“We had the circumstantial evidence we needed in order to corroborate the testimonies of DeAngelo’s victims,” Ho wrote.
DeAngelo pleaded guilty to 26 crimes in 2020, which include the sexual assaults in the East Area. He was sentenced to multiple consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole.

‘Golden State Killer’ may have only been caught because of his micropenis: ‘There’s nothing there!’
IT’S been a huge week for micro-penises — especially those belonging to psychopaths.
