The Channel 4 documentary ‘Hitler’s DNA: A Dictator’s Blueprint’ revealed that Adolf Hitler suffered from Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that disrupts genital development and reduces the production of testosterone. The discovery, made from an analysis of the dictator’s blood trail, could explain his notorious distaste for women and his lack of children with Eva Braun. New research also refutes suggestions that Hitler had Jewish ancestry.

According to the National Library of Medicine, Kallmann syndrome is a congenital hypogonadism caused by decreased levels of hypogonadotropic hormones, which can lead to incomplete or delayed puberty and infertility. The organization says the diagnosis is usually made before the child has started puberty.
The disease was first reported in modern times in 1944. The disease is a rare genetic disease linked to the X chromosome that affects approximately 1 in 48,000 people and is said to be “four times more prevalent in men than women.”
Researchers interviewed for the documentary say all these factors reinforce old theories about Hitler’s powerlessness, which were also satirized in a popular World War II song that poked fun at Hitler’s “lack of sexual vitality.”
-No one could explain why Hitler was so uncomfortable with women throughout his life, said Alex Kaye, a historian at the University of Potsdam, one of the interviewees on the program.

The genetic research was made possible thanks to a blood sample taken from the couch where Hitler died in 1945 and kept by an American officer. The material was analyzed by forensic genetics expert Professor Tuli King of the University of Bath, who sequenced the dictator’s complete genome.

In addition to Kallmann syndrome, the DNA showed a high propensity for ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. These genetic disorders may have influenced his paranoid and antisocial behavior.
— Hitler has very high scores for schizophrenia and antisocial behavior, says geneticist Ditte Demotis of Denmark’s Aarhus University. — It is a rare and dangerous mixture.
Psychiatrist Michael Fitzgerald classified the case as a case of “criminal autistic psychosis,” but he says the combination helps us understand parts of the mind of one of history’s greatest mass murderers.
Hitler kept his health and intimate life absolutely secret, cultivating the image of a man who “devoted his full strength to the Fatherland.” Eighty years after his death, the dictator’s DNA is beginning to reveal the truth behind the man who changed the course of humanity.
