The Nazi leader lost a testicle during the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the doctor claimed.
The medical condition, for which there has never been conclusive proof, was mocked in the Second World War ditty which begins: "Hitler has only got one ball, the other is in the Albert Hall."
The disclosure is made in a document noting a conversation in the 1960s between German war doctor Johan Jambor and his priest, Franciszek Pawlar, according to The Sun. The priest's document has come to light 23 years after Jambor's death.
Although it was known Hitler suffered a groin injury in the Somme, evidence that he was 'monorchic' - the medical word for the condition - has evaded historians
End Excerpt:
The song referenced in the article is the Colonel Bogey March, the words of which aren't very flattering to Nazi leaders. Interestingly, the Colonel Bogey March is something you have probably whistled, never imagining it had words. Olivier whistled it in Bridge on the River Kwai, half of the Brat Pack whistled it in the Breakfast Club, it is a catchy little tune.
