"Kallmann syndrome: The dictator's rare disorder According to DNA sequencing, Hitler suffered from Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that leads to lower production of sex hormones. This prevents or significantly delays puberty, in addition to causing low testosterone levels, an underdeveloped sense of smell (anosmia), undescended testicles, and a higher probability of a micropenis or other genital abnormalities. British soldiers mocked Hitler's physical deficiencies as early as 1939 with the satirical song "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball,""
"Hitler's personal physician Theodor Morell is also known to have regularly administered testosterone injections to the German dictator from 1944 onwards which could also support the Kallmann syndrome theory. According to the documentary, set for release later this month, Hitler's DNA also shows an above-average likelihood that he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a high likelihood of autistic behavior and schizophrenia, and a tendency toward antisocial behavior. There are verifiable sources and observations from contemporary witnesses that point to Hitler's "mental instability.""
DNA sequencing indicates Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder causing low sex hormone production, delayed puberty, low testosterone, anosmia, undescended testicles, and higher probability of genital abnormalities. Landsberg Prison medical records from 1924 document right-sided cryptorchidism consistent with that diagnosis. Personal physician Theodor Morell administered testosterone injections from 1944 onward, which could support hypogonadism. Genetic findings also suggest above-average likelihoods of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic behavior, schizophrenia, and antisocial tendencies. Inferring complex behavioral and psychiatric traits solely from partial DNA evidence remains highly questionable and biologically uncertain.
