Adolf Hitler believed he possessed

superhuman

qualities in public he claimed he'd

never been ill in his life Hitler was a

complete

hypochondriac but in private he was

hiding a t able secret he had to keep

covered up for his entire life as a

member of the master Aran race there was

a strong bias against congenital

Problems by the time the most

destructive War of the 20th century

turned against his

aggressor he could no longer hide the

illness that was attacking his

body he drools he can't keep his arms St

now what they were picking up was of

course the escalation of his

Parkinson's and Hitler's drug fuel

Madness was taking its toll he had

become a drug addict Hitler just

degenerated and became this raving sick

Guy this is the truth behind the

propaganda and lies about the 20th

Century's most hated man in reality hit

became a human

[Applause]

[Applause]

wreck Adolf Hitler has been described as

a grotesque figure Hollow chested with

thin and spindly legs now narrow

shoulders flabby flesh and brown rotten

teeth a drug addict insane and

delusionality but Adolf Hitler claimed

to be one of the hardest men Germany had

seen for

decades equipped with the greatest

authority of any German

[Music]

leader and the Reich propaganda Ministry

went to great length to promote this

myth signant of this will to power a

leader who worked tirelessly for his

people a non-smoker and a

vegetarian as with many aspects of

Hitler's public life his sex life his

family life his Public Image was an

invention H Hitler meaning healthy

Hitler sound of body sound of mind

was a well-worked propaganda message to

promote the power of the

furer it was an important part of the

cult that the party created around

Hitler to portray

him as basically a health Saint he was

always shown and presented as an

abstinent person people knew that the

fura doesn't drink alcohol he doesn't

eat meat he walks with his dog every day

he's in the Clear Mountain

Air Hitler's glorified public Persona

bed his deep narcissism and many

ailments he complained of skin

irritations stomach problems and

explosive

flatu according to US military medical

reports Hitler regularly took over 80 2

medications while in

power when Hitler's physician Dr

Theodore Morel suggested he write up his

medical history drug adal Hitler said

he'd never been ill so there was nothing

to write

about by the time the end came Hitler no

longer had a clear understanding of what

was happening to

him as a terminal illness ravaged his

failing

body his drug adle brain didn't seem to

be able to grasp the enormity of what he

and his Nazi party had inflicted on the

world on April the 30th

1945 as Allied Forces converged on

German

cities in a bunker under the chancellory

in Berlin

Hitler took his own

life Days Later fragments of Hitler's

body were recovered by the Red

Army since Hitler's death vast resources

have been poured into the forensic

examination of what remains of

Hitler can forensic examination of

remnants of Hitler's skull medical notes

and personal accounts help EXP exp laain

the evil of Adolf

Hitler in

2017 Russian authorities permitted a

team of researchers to examine what was

left of Hitler Hitler's teeth indicated

cyanide poisoning and confirmed he was

on a vegetarian

diet Hitler was 56 when he died and he

had only five of his own teeth

left over the years historians and

researchers have analyzed Hitler's

mental

health an examination of Hitler's

physical health relies on accounts from

his inner circle his Physicians as well

as the fragments of his burnt

body apart from the discovery of rotten

teeth Hitler may have been predestined

for poor

health Hitler's ancestral Homeland was

in lower

Austria in this isolated region

intermarriage was common between peasant

farmers and their

families Hitler's parents were second

cousins so he came from a pool of

genetic stock that may have been

weakened by Cent centuries of

inbreeding certainly that may have

played out in his mother Clara's

life her first three children did not

survive past

infancy so there was great relief when

on April the 20th

1889 newborn Adolf

survived Clara doed on Adolf and they

formed a very close

Bond but as a boy he was prone to

Violent outbursts and considered a lazy

child a teacher at Hitler's secondary

school was not impressed by the young

student recalling him as willful and

arrogant unwilling to listen to advice

and demanding his fellow pupils give him

their unqualified

subservience I think this was

characteristic of Hitler from a very

early age and it exemplified the fact

that he was totally

self-centered totally obsessive

incapable of having any opinion that he

did that disagreed with him and he

simply reacted in

kind at home Adolf Hitler's father Alois

an alcoholic Customs official was

abusive and

violent he would explode into a rage and

attack his

son and at times his wife

Clara Hitler learned to be silent

through the

beatings once telling his mother that he

didn't say a word even though he was

whipped 32

times so if you look at the household

Hitler grew up in it's really a classic

model of a dysfunctional house first of

all he had a doubting mother and

secondly he had a distant rigid and

punitive father so you've got the same

kind of scenario there that you have

with many serial killers they have an

over bonded relationship with their

mother and a much more distant

relationship with their

father on the 3rd of January 1903 Al

Hitler died of a heart attack over his

mourning pint when Hitler was just 14

years

old four years later Hitler's mother

Clara died after a long and painful

battle with breast cancer Hitler was

shattered he'd idolized his mother and

struggled to cope with her

death his mother gets cancer when he's

17 and he's absolutely Ely devastated

Edward BL the Jewish family doctor said

he'd never seen anyone as devastated at

a funeral as he saw Hitler there when

his mother

died with both parents gone Hitler

joined his childhood friend AUST

kubichek in

Vienna Hitler's dream was to be an

artist he applied to the Academy of Fine

Arts

but was rejected

twice the knockbacks devastated

Hitler with very little money and living

in a men's hosel kubich observed

Hitler's mental health

[Music]

deteriorating he would choke over a

catalog of hates railing against

everyone who didn't understand him or

appreciate

him

he felt he was being persecuted and

cheated his friend felt sure that Hitler

was becoming

unbalanced he was certainly shattered

when his mother died and I think he

internalized this into this just

carrying on with this loou

lifestyle and somewhere trying to think

what am I going to do because I don't

think he really had any idea he really

was

drifting and it seems Hitler's physical

health was about to be called into

question

too the first world war was about to

change Europe and the austr Hungarian

Army was calling for

recruits when Hitler reported for his

medical examination he was rejected as

unfit for

combat this might have been the first

first indication that something was

wrong military medical boards are

notorious for being pretty tough they're

not interested in excuses and there

certainly are cases where they've

stamped people with with missing a leg

as fit for combat Duty Hitler was found

unfit for Duty and there was vague talk

or he gave vague talk that it was for

Respiratory reasons now this is nonsense

Hitler never had chest

illness so my theory is the only other

reason they could have knocked him back

was they found the congenital

defects and that's something they didn't

want in their

army apparently the standards in the

German Army were not as high as in the

austr Hungarian military and Hitler was

accepted there

Adolf Hitler enjoyed being a

soldier but his colleagues found him odd

and

peculiar Hitler was a a competent

Soldier he was a bit of a lone wolf we

don't really know exactly what his

officers thought of him occasionally in

private conversations there's evidence

that um there was something about Hitler

that didn't um endear himself to other

people One account from a soldier in his

regiment claimed Hitler would suddenly

jump up and make loud speeches attacking

Jews and

marxists they gave him the nickname

crazy

Adolf but something else made Hitler the

topic of Barrack's gossip Hitler's close

friend

Ernst hangle says that Hitler was the

victim of sexual

bullying old army comrades who saw him

in the Wash House noted that his

genitals were almost freakishly

undeveloped well there were always

rumors about this and it started with

the fact that when he was out say

picnicking with his friends and he'd go

behind a tree to pee he could always see

that he leaked afterwards when a doctor

examined him he would never let them

take his shirt off or examine his

abdomen or pelvic area so that sort of

set up the thought amongst people who

are looking at him there's something

wrong

there and it seems there

was a Soviet pathologist examining

Hitler's burnt remains at the end of

World War II stated that one testicle

couldn't be

found this report was later challenged

by some historians as an attempt by the

Russians to portray Hitler as sexually

deformed but it turns out they may have

been telling the

truth recently discovered documents from

Hitler's time in lburg prison after a

failed attempt to overthrow the

government point in the same direction

like the popular scho boy song it seems

Hitler did only have one

ball he went into lansburg prison after

the baravarian PCH and like any prisoner

he was examined by the prison doctor and

the prison doctor noted his weight his

height all the details said he was

pretty healthy and fit but he was

missing the right T

testical the likely explanation is that

he had what we call spinabifida or culta

it is strongly associated with genital

abnormalities so in Hitler's case he's

got a missing testicle it's called Crypt

orchidism so he had right Crypt

orchidism uh which is a congenital

defect and he's got hypospadius and that

is a hole at the base of your the tip

end of your penis which makes you

leak Hitler's secret was now out but of

course it lay there almost like a a

non-smoking gun until the discovery of

the lansburg medical

records could such a deformity go some

way in explaining Hitler's brutal

regime American psychoanalyst Dr Henry

Murray believed

so during the war Murray was involved in

a covert us operation to understand

Hitler's

psychology he concluded that Hitler

dealt with his insecurities about his

genitals by exhibiting brute strength

ruthless domination and military

conquest in the World At

Large this can have considerable effects

on someone and certainly Hitler's case

he never was seen in a bathing costume

he'd never let a doctor examine his

abdomen or take off his shirt and it's

highly likely it would affect his

attitude to

intimacy the contrast between Hitler and

the Allied Leaders could not have been

more Stark Winston Churchill loves

swimming and despite Franklin D

Roosevelt's severe disability he too was

far less body conscious than paranoid

Adolf

[Music]

Hitler but the biggest issue is in

Hitler's racial attitudes as a member of

the master Arian race there was a strong

bias against congenital problems because

that was carried by socalled others Jews

gypsies thieves homosexuals so this was

a strong contradiction to what he was

putting out publicly and must have led

to a lot of ducking and weaving on his

part L Corporal Hitler was injured twice

in

combat at the Battle of the s in

1916 when a shell exploded wounding his

left

thigh and 2 years later in a British

mustard gas

attack he was sent to to a military

hospital but while he was recovering

Germany

surrendered Hitler was

broken later he would write of that day

with Despair and anger and ask whether

it had all been in vain so a gang of

wretched criminals could lay hands on

the

Fatherland Hitler was shattered and this

started his

train of thought that led to what am I

going to do now that the war is over and

how do we get revenge for our unfair

loss I think Hitler believed that it had

all been for nothing that they that

Germany had been stabbed in the back by

those on the home front the civilians

the marxists the Jews that didn't

understand what fighting at the front

was like what that sacrifice meant and

he aimed to put that

right his outrage at Germany's defeat

along with his anti-semitic

anti-communist beliefs found a home in

the beer Halls of Munich where far-right

members of the German Workers Party

gathered the Germans felt that they had

lost a war they had um lost economic

power presti

and territory they wanted greater

economic strength not to be Reliant upon

American Loans they wanted greater job

security and they wanted the prestige

that they felt was owing to

Germany by

1921 Hitler was chairman of the newly

formed Nazi party a party that saw the

German race as Superior to all others

it was a rapid rise to power and a

demonstration of Hitler's early

commanding

Authority Hitler became leader of the

Nazi party through the force of his

personality I think Hitler was

supercharged by it it gave him a reason

for being that perhaps he hadn't had up

until that

point by 19 1930 with Hitler's leader

the Nazi party was the second largest

political party in

Germany and Hitler's brilliant oratory

skills were drawing huge

crowds he was called a born natural

orator who began slowly and then all at

once seemed to take

fire as he railed against all the evils

he saw or is the ruin of Germany

particularly the

Jews ey Witnesses commented on how in

person away from the public stage he was

a peculiarly insignificant and vacant

figure Dorothy Thompson the head of the

Berlin Bureau at the New York Post was

definitely not impressed when she met

Hitler in

1931 she called him

formless almost

faceless he is the very prototype of the

little

[Music]

man Hitler everything in public was a

the most crude way of saying I am

powerful I am big I am the Ultimate

Weapon as a human being I think a good

way of understanding it is ex

substantially inside Hitler there was

nothing he was only something when he

projected out particularly with the

speeches so take him away from that and

he just about

collapsed the Nazi propaganda machine

wasn't relying on Hitler's looks and

physical bearing to promote the fura

instead the Reich Advanced Hitler as a

leader who worked tirelessly for his

country clean living healthy vegetarian

who avoided all stimulants like alcohol

nicotine and

coffee but privately Hitler was

suffering from a number of

ailments firstly Hitler was a complete

hypochondriac there's no question about

that when he became

Chancellor he developed all these minor

problems skin rashes bowel problems

remember he was the great F of

History uh

headaches those sort of things a lot of

this came from what you could call

stress probably his diet this kind of

thing no treatments seemed to give

Hitler any

relief but all that changed in

1936 when he met Dr Theodore Morel the

man who would put Hitler on a path to

certain

destruction Hitler and Morel for the

first time met in Munich in 1936 they

had a mutual friend his name is Hoffman

he was Hitler's

photographer Hitler told Morel that he

has been suffering from pain in his

stomach that his doctors couldn't cure

him and then Morel offered uh an

unorthodox uh way of treating

him

according to Morel Hitler's stomach

issues were caused by a complete

exhaustion of the intestinal

system he prescribed a treatment of

vitamins and probiotics and Hitler

immediately felt

better that was the start of Hitler and

Dr morell's relationship and it would

last until a few days before Hitler's

suicide 9 years later

Hitler now swears by Morel he will not

go anywhere do anything without Morel

what Hitler didn't know is that Morel

amidst other things gave him a yogurt

preparation with the organisms taken

from the bowel of a Bulgarian

peasant if Hitler knew that he would

have gone crazy so this is the basis on

which Morel formed his relationship ship

with

Hitler Morel really was a

quack Dr Morel became indispensable to

Hitler and by

1937 he was appointed one of Hitler's

personal

Physicians although he was a trained

doctor Hitler's generals were suspicious

of

morale Hitler's main physician Carl

Brandt feared Hitler was in danger of

being poisoned by morel's prescribed

cocktail of hormones and

vitamins but Hitler wouldn't hear a word

against the man who was making him feel

better he said he had the greatest

confidence in Morel and would follow his

prescriptions to the

letter Morel gave Hitler these daily

injections he slept late he slept late

till 11: a.m. it was normal for him to

wake up roll up the sleeve of his

pajamas and get his first injection from

Morel then he thought he's ready for the

day these injections contained mostly of

vitamins in the first four to five years

of uh the treatments so an early you

could say psychological dependency

developed uh he thought if Morel is

close to me I'm fine and this is

actually how it was in the

beginning Hitler's Inner Circle was

unnerved by morel's power over their

leader General Hein Garian called Morel

a fat unappetizing

Quack and Herman ging disparagingly

referred to Morel as the Reich syringe

Master by

1943 with the tide of war tring against

him Hitler's Health was

declining as well as stomach cramp

the fura also suffered from headaches

double vision dizziness and

tenus Hitler's secretary Trudy yunger

reported that Hitler had become very

dependent on

morale she claimed the doctor would turn

up in person every day to administer his

usual medical working

injection and these started to contain

some very alarming

substances Morel was giving over 90

different

medications uh about a dozen of them

were heavy drugs Hitler's Favorite Drug

uh was O codal which is a euphoric

making

opioid um that is on the market still

today as oxycodone it actually created

the opioid crisis in America and in

other countries and Hitler was getting

this oxycodone this oal intervenience ly

in very high dosages so the effect was

extremely strong it's a much stronger

effect

than your everyday junkie has when uh he

or she injects heroin for

example it's no wonder Hitler's

unassailable faith in his physician

prevailed but Dr Morel was testing

dozens of unknown drugs on Hitler

including extractions from the

intestines of male animals and

amphetamines Hitler's girlfriend Ava

Brown also took advantage of Dr morell's

endless supply of

drugs Morell told Hitler's personal

secretary Christa schredder he was

giving him hormone injections from

Bull's testicles claiming that should

pep him

up with so many drugs in his system

Hitler's failing libido was obviously a

problem Hitler's Armament Minister

Albert Spear questioned Dr morel's

methods and influence on the

furer he commented that the injections

had to be given more and more

frequently Hitler was under Dr morel's

spell and completely convinced of his

personal Physician's genius and forbade

any criticism of the man

what spear was describing was a classic

relationship between a junkie and his

dealer there's no doubt that throughout

his time in office Hitler had B of great

sickness um maybe of depression and so

he became increasingly Reliant upon

Morel his advice and his drugs and it

was a bit of a vicious

circle

by

1943 Dr Morel was giving the furer the

addictive drug ucad dool as well as

high-grade cocaine injecting him several

times a

day it's incredible to realize that

Hitler was making decisions every day

that directly affected the lives of tens

of thousands of his own

soldiers all while he was constantly

high on

drugs Hitler became a human wreck uh

from 1943 on because all those medicines

that Morel gave him

uh late in the war started to show their

side effects so he started trembling his

skin was yellow he was losing his train

of thought um he was not fit anymore at

all well turn Hitler into a drug addict

or was he simply powerless to resist the

fur's drug adle

demands British

intelligence actually stopped their plan

to assassinate Hitler they realized that

actually Morel is doing their job anyone

high on drugs is not that much in

contact with reality and and if you are

the leader in a war you have to be very

much in contact with reality you can

live in a dream world this ultimately

has to lead to terrible decisions so

they were quite happy with the

degenerating Hitler still in

power Hitler began showing signs of a

serious medical

condition his left hand would often

Shake Dr Theodore Morel noticed this

peculiarity in 1941 and diagnosed it as

a stress related condition Hitler

appeared perfectly healthy to people

around him and of course the German

public but from

1942 it became very obvious to people to

Gobles uh to Garian and other people

have all listed comments that suddenly

he's a very old man he looks overwhelmed

he

shuffles uh he drools he can't keep his

arms to

[Music]

his deteriorating Health was a secret

Hitler could no longer hide he was

suffering from Parkinson's

disease a degenerative neurological

disorder with no

cure now what they were picking up was

of course the escalation of his

Parkinson's and that explains a couple

of other things about his

behavior in the past he'd always been

meticulously neat as the Parkinson's

went on you could see he had food sort

of dripp dripping down on the front of

his shirt and it got to the stage that

he couldn't sit down in a chair he

needed pushed Underneath

Him did Hitler's Parkinson's disease

affect his decision-making abilities and

influence the outcomes of the war

neurologists suggest as much questioning

the Reckless choices Hitler made as his

Parkinson's disease took hold the

Russians settled upon a strategy that

was to pay off handsomely for them

realizing like Hitler's steadfast

refusal to allow Von palus to surrender

at Stalingrad in the face of

overwhelming odds in January

1943 followed blindly and in so doing

stretched their supply lines to the

snapping point

or his 1944 failure to defend Normandy

or consider tactical Retreats on the

Eastern Front condemning millions of his

own troops to

death it's also likely his worsening

drug habit left him unable to make

clear-headed

decisions so Hitler really used very

strong drugs uh in regular intervals his

drug intake

became completely mad you could say

because he was using cocaine which is a

strong

upper and then getting uh oxycodone

which as an opioid is always kind of a

downer so he had this what in Street

language is called speedball

effect by the 20th of July

1944 the tide of War had turned against

Germany

and a plot to assassinate the dictator

was

underway at a meeting inside Hitler's

Wolf's slay headquarters in Poland Nazi

Officer leftenant Colonel Claus Von

Stenberg placed a briefcase with a bomb

underneath the conference table close to

the

fura when it exploded the table leg

protected Hitler from the worst of the

blast four people were killed and 13

injured Morel rushed to the scene of the

bombing to attend to Hitler and began

removing splinters of glass and wood

from his

body Hitler was scheduled to meet with

musalini later that evening and

convinced the doctor to give him

something to get him

through his injuries would have been

very

painful but Morel dosed him up on one of

the strongest opioids ucol and Hitler

was ready to meet the Italian leader

well musolini got out of the train at

the wolf's Slayer was obviously informed

that there had been an assassination

attempt Hitler was standing at the

platform uh high on the opioid so he

didn't feel any pain and musolini said

this is a

miracle you are superum you can already

greet me and have meetings with me even

though you you you've nearly been killed

a few hours

ago we know that there were at least 42

assassination attempts on Hitler between

the 1930s and the end of the war Hitler

knew about many of the assassination

attempts the fact that he survived them

reinforced his view that he was uh sort

of a Superman that had been you know

chosen to lead Germany in this you know

struggle for survival and that nothing

could do him in and that and that these

merely confirmed his

greatness Hitler was very lucky to

survive this attempt on his life but his

delusion that he was protected by some

higher power along with his accelerating

drug use was taking its

[Music]

tall 150,000 Allied troops stormed the

beaches of Normandy

overwhelming the German

Army 6 months later the Red Army

encountered their first horrific

evidence of the true nature of Nazi

excesses when liberating aitz

concentration

camp at the same time the Americans

launched operation Cobra a surprise

offensive and a key milestone in the

liberation of France France and

Germany despite these heavy military

losses Hitler was obsessed with seeking

revenge for the attempted

assassination Adolf Hitler who had

survived a bomb planted by one of his

own officers in his paranoid State he

told his generals that he would

exterminate this nest of vipers once and

for

all and he did it is estimated that

almost 5,000 Germans were executed after

the July assassination attempt on

Hitler's

life the officers behind the plot were

hung with piano wire from meat

hooks their executions were filmed and

later shown to senior members of the

Nazis and the Armed

Forces

at the Nazi military briefings that

followed this Mass

execution Hitler was chirpy and

optimistic it appeared he still believed

Germany would be

victorious but it seems it may have been

the regular injections of opioids

methamphetamin and cocaine that were

giving Hitler a delusional confidence in

the face of certain

defeat after the assassination attempt

Hitler's uh drug use

skyrocketed um he used um euphoric

making opioids every other day to boost

um his morale he used cocaine a lot over

50 times uh from early August till

September

1944 so after the assassination attempt

there's no more sober day for the

so-called furer and a new ally came to

the aid of the Soviet forces by the

spring of

1945 the Red Army was closing in on

Berlin a

grayhair 55-year-old Hitler moved into

the Fuda bunker in

January and he insisted Morel come with

him the bunker was quite small actually

the only people that had bedrooms in the

bunker were Hitler and Morel so their

relationship was was still very intimate

but that changed over the course of

those bunker months and um this probably

changed because Morel didn't have the

drugs

anymore the British had bombed the

Pharmaceutical Plant responsible for

making ucad dool and it was getting

harder had no opiates no cocaine and no

methamphetamin there's a a note in

morel's Diary where where he writes that

two of his helpers are driving on

motorcycles through bombed out Berlin

from Pharmacy to Pharmacy trying to find

the drugs for Hitler but even the

pharmacies didn't have drugs

anymore Hitler would have been sick and

suffering severe drug

withdrawals he had become an a drug

addict and had no and didn't have the

drugs anymore that he needed that was a

very real physical problem which led to

you know terrible withdrawal symptoms

Hitler just degenerated and became this

raving sick guy who was just you know UN

in pain uh all the time and just uh not

functioning at all anymore a few days

before Hitler died he told Morel to

leave the bunker one mistake a dealer

should never make is to

make his uh client dependent on a

substance and suddenly not be able to

supply the substance anymore Hitler

fired Morel in late April uh 1945 he

said to Morel uh get out of the bunker I

don't want to see you anymore uh you've

been turning me into an addict so Hitler

seemed to have realized by then what was

H what had been happening to

him on the 20th of April Morel left the

bunker taking one of the last PLS out of

a completely destroyed

[Music]

Berlin the head of the German state was

a spent

force and we can see in those weeks uh

in the bunker how he

self-destructs he becomes um very

aggressive against everyone around him

and he also starts destroying himself uh

by uh becoming self-abusive picking his

own skin with

tweezers he just becomes a very unhappy

unhealthy horrible person maybe that's

the true Hitler that he always was now

it really comes

out on the 28th of April

1945 Hitler married AA Brown in the

bunker 2 Days Later later AA took her

own life by swallowing a cyanide pill

and Hitler was right beside

her he wanted to make sure he was

successful in his own

death he swallowed a cyanide capsule and

then shot himself in the

head it was the final predictable Act of

a twisted mind Hitler was the greatest

narcissist in history history death

comes as a part of every act that he

plans I will kill people who get in my

way and I will eventually kill myself to

show the world what they've lost it's

another indication of his absolute

self-belief the world must come to me

otherwise I

go

75 years after his death Hitler's health

is still

scrutinized fragments of his charred

body have been studied and restudied by

scientists hopeful they might find a

Gateway into understanding the

destructive force of

Hitler Pathologists using pioneering

profiling techniques have tried to

understand Hitler's

intensity genetic ists have looked into

Hitler's Heritage for Clues to his

perversity doctors have poured over

Hitler's medical records some shed light

on his health but are not a window into

his

[Music]

mind we may never have the tools to

understand Hitler's evil but what Hitler

does confirm is that evil can exist in

humankind
