According to a DNA analysis revealed in a British documentary, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler suffered from Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that hinders normal puberty and the development of sexual organs. The study of Hitler's DNA was based on a bloodstained piece of fabric from the sofa where he committed suicide in 1945. This sample was taken by one of the Allied soldiers who inspected Hitler's bunker in Berlin. The geneticist Turi King, who led the research, noted that Hitler was also diagnosed with right-sided cryptorchidism (incomplete descent of one testicle), which matches the 1923 medical records. Experts explain that up to 10% of people with Kallmann syndrome also have a micropenis and low or fluctuating testosterone levels. King emphasized that Hitler had no Jewish ancestry, as was previously speculated, and that genetics does not justify his crimes in any way.
