New DNA Tests Show That Hitler Most Likely Had A Micro-Penis And Only One Nut

Since he served in the First World War and was mocked by his fellow soldiers, rumours have circulated about Adolf Hitler's sexual abnormalities.
Now, fresh research conducted by an international team of scientists and historians is said to finally shed light on what exactly was wrong with the Nazi leader.
After analysing a strand of his DNA, they say there is a high likelihood he suffered from some form of Kallman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that prevents a person from starting or fully completing puberty.
Contrary to another myth, however, they also found that the German dictator had no Jewish ancestry.
The findings include the discovery that a gene named PROK2, which is related to the development of sexual organs, was depleted for Hitler.
Its absence is associated with lower-than-normal testosterone levels and can result in a micropenis, which is typically just a few centimetres long.
Professor Turi King, who is the lead geneticist on the research and previously identified the remains of King Richard III, told Sky News: "If you'd told me a few years ago I'd be talking about Hitler's genitals, I would never would have believed it."
