A Channel 4 documentary, “Hitler’s DNA: The Dictator’s Blueprint,” revealed that Adolf Hitler suffered from Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that stunts the development of the sexual organs and reduces testosterone production. This discovery, made by analyzing traces of the dictator’s blood, could explain his extreme discomfort with women and the absence of children from Eva Braun. The new research also refutes the suggestion that Hitler had Jewish ancestry.

According to the National Library of Medicine, Kallmann syndrome is a congenital form of hypogonadism caused by low levels of hypogonadal hormones, which can lead to incomplete or delayed puberty and infertility. Depending on the entity, the diagnosis is generally made when the child has not yet begun puberty.
The condition was first described in modern times in 1944. It is a rare genetic disease, linked to the
Researchers interviewed for the documentary say all of these factors reinforce long-standing theories about Hitler’s impotence, even parodied in a popular World War II song that mocked his “lack of sexuality.”
“No one has ever been able to explain why Hitler felt so uncomfortable around women throughout his life,” says historian Alex Kaye, from the University of Potsdam, one of those interviewed on the programme.

The genetic study was made possible thanks to a blood sample taken from the sofa where Hitler died in 1945, and preserved by an American officer. The material was analyzed by Professor Tory King, from the University of Bath, a specialist in forensic genetics, who sequenced the dictator’s entire genome.

In addition to Kallmann’s syndrome, his DNA showed a high predisposition to ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia — genetic conditions that may have influenced his paranoid and antisocial behavior.
– Geneticist Dette Demontis, of Aarhus University in Denmark, said that Hitler had a very high score for schizophrenia and antisocial behavior. – It is a rare and dangerous mixture.
Psychiatrist Michael Fitzgerald classified the case as one of “criminal autistic psychopathy,” a combination that, he said, helps to understand part of the mind of one of the greatest genocides in history.
Hitler kept his health and intimate life completely secret, cultivating the image of a man “completely loyal to his country.” Now, eight decades after his death, the dictator’s DNA begins to reveal the truth behind the character who changed the course of humanity.
