Adolf Hitler was the personification of evil. As the dictator of Nazi Germany, he ordered the Holocaust and helped start World War II, which led to the death of over 70 million people worldwide.

Hitler’s love life was the reflection of his politics — full of suffering, manipulation, and death.

Hitler’s probable homosexuality

In his early adult life, Adolf Hitler practiced homosexual relationships. Most of his personal bodyguards and chauffeurs were gay. One of the reasons why he was never promoted during World War I was his sexual orientation.

Among his lovers was Rudolf Hess, who was nicknamed “Fraulein Anna” and “Black Emma.” Hitler and Hess began a relationship in 1924.

Another of Hitler’s lover was his chauffeur, Julius Schreck. When Schreck suddenly died n 1936 because of meningitis, Hitler supposedly cried for two days. Schreck received a state funeral and Hitler himself delivered the eulogy.

The Nazi opponents used the widespread homosexuality among the Nazi leaders to smear their public image.

The Nazi party was called “The Brotherhood of Poofs.”

Hitler was always mindful of his public image, thus he acted to suppress the rumors'. He used the Night of the Long Knives, a purge against his political opponents in 1934, to murder a lot of homosexuals. Among the victims was Ernst Röhm, the leader of SA, and a potential rival to Hitler, who was openly gay.

After the purge, Hitler cultivated an image of a straight man. His subordinates began systematic persecution and murder of homosexuals. Over 100,000 men were arrested as homosexuals.

It is worthy to note that Hitler’s sexual orientation will forever remain a matter of speculation. Since he closely guarded his private life, there is not enough evidence to either prove or deny his homosexuality.

Did Hitler really have only one testicle?

The anti-Nazi propaganda claimed that Hitler had only one testicle. The reason being it didn’t drop during his childhood, he lost it during World War I, or a goat bit it off.

A World War II British song “Hitler Has Only Got One Ball” was popular among the Allied soldiers. One of the versions of the song went like this:

Hitler has only got one ball
Göring has two but very small
Himmler is rather sim’lar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all

In reality, there is no medical evidence to back up or disapprove this claim. Medical documents revealed uncomfortable information about Hitler’s health such as chronic farting. However, the medical files didn’t prove Hitler had only one testicle.

Did Hitler really suffer from syphilis?

Hitler ranted about syphilis in his best seller book Mein Kampf, yet he never had syphilis.

Many speculated that his terrible physical and mental state at the end of the war resulted from syphilis. In reality, Hitler’s limping and tremor were a consequence of drug abuse and Parkinson's disease.

Claims that Hitler suffered from neurosyphilis are not supported by his medical history. For most of his life, Hitler’s mind was sharp and he was fully conscious of his decisions. His appealing decisions were not a consequence of syphilis, but of his dysfunctional personality, for which the term “psychopath” seems inadequate.

Hitler’s super-young mistresses were suicidal

Obviously, being Hitler’s mistress was lethal. Hitler had possessive and violent personality which made his partners suffer.

He also was a coprophiliac — someone who gets turned on by poo. He asked his mistresses to stand over him and defecate on him. Besides, they had to kick him to get him aroused.

His mistresses were usually teenagers. Most of them were around twenty years younger than him. All tried to commit suicide while being in relationship with Hitler.

The three mistresses which were usually linked to Hitler were Geli Raubal, Eva Braun, and Mimi Reiter.

Geli Raubal — Hitler’s niece and alleged mistress

Angela “Geli” Raubal (1908-1931) was Hitler’s half-niece. Hitler was nineteen years her senior. He was also her legal guardian. In 1925, her mother became Hitler’s housekeeper and from then on Geli was in close contact with Hitler.

Geli desperately wanted to escape her demonic uncle. She fell in love with Hitler’s chauffer, Emil Maurice. The couple planned to run away together. Yet Emil’s brother told Hitler about their plan. Hitler responded by firing Emil and tightened his control over Geli.

In 1929, Gel moved into Hitler’s apartment in Munich. Political opponents spread rumors' that Hitler and Geli had sex.

“When I visited Berlin in 1931, the family was in trouble.… Everyone knew that Hitler and she had long been intimate and that she had been expecting a child — a fact that enraged Hitler.”
— Hitler’s nephew William Stuart-Houston about Geli Raubal

On 18 September 1931, Geli shot herself with the Hitler’s Walter pistol after Hitler refused to allow her to move to Vienna. Her death was deemed suicide, although no suicide note was found. Some historians speculate Hitler killed her.

Fourteen years later, on 30 April 1945, Hitler committed suicide by the same pistol Geli had shot herself.

Eva Braun — Hitler’s forty-hour wife

Eva Braun (1912-1945) was twenty-three years younger than Hitler. They met through Hitler’s official photographer Heinrich Hoffmann in 1929. She was seventeen. The couple began dating two years later, after the suicide of Hitler’s niece, Geli Raubal.

Hitler neglected Eva, so she tried to get his attention by committing suicide. She tried twice. In 1932, she shot herself in the chest with her father’s pistol. In 1935, she overdosed herself with sleeping pills.

Her “tactic” worked. Hitler eventually brought her to live with him at his Berghof residence in Obersalzberg, Germany. According to some historians the couple did have sex.

“If only he knew what goings-on that sofa has seen.”
— Eva Braun about Neville Chamberlain sitting on Hitler’s sofa

Shortly before both of them committed suicide, Hitler married Eva. As it happened, Eva Braun was Hitler’s wife for forty hours.

The German people were unaware of the Hitler’s liaison with Eva Braun. They believed she was his personal secretary.

Mimi Reiter — Hitler’s underage mistress

Sixteen-year-old Maria “Mimi” Reiter (1909-1992) met Hitler in 1926, when she worked in a shop in Obersalzberg, Germany. Hitler made sexual advances towards her, despite Mimi being only sixteen years old.

The two of them began dating. In 1928, when Hitler broke the liaison, Mimi tried to hang herself. Her brother-in-law found her just in time to cut the rope.

In 1931, Mimi visited Hitler in Münich and they had an one-night stand. After the war, she later stated:

“I let everything happen. I had never been so happy as I was that night.”
— Mimi Reiter

Hitler wanted to take her as his mistress since he was unhappy with Eva Braun. Yet Mimi wanted to get married with Hitler, which he refused. She stopped seeing Hitler and married SS officer Georg Kubish in 1936.

Hitler took a primitive form of “Viagra”

In 1944, Adolf Hitler asked his personal physician Theodor Morell for help with his libido.

Morell, who was considered a quack by the Nazi elite, injected him with testosterone. He also injected Hitler with a special mixture comprising the semen and prostate glands of young bulls.

Hitler, then fifty-five, and his mistress Eva, then thirty-two, hoped the treatment would increase his failing libido.

Conclusion

It’s a pity Hitler was not capable to live a life full of love either with a woman or with a man (if he was gay). After all, we do all the things in life to get love or to compensate for the lack of love.

Perhaps a genuine love would soften him and he wouldn’t choose the evil path. However, this is only a speculation. The same sort of speculation as all the theories about the Hitler’s sexual orientation, organs, and relationships.

Reality, supported with sinister evidence, is that Hitler fanatically focused on the destruction. The sadistic dictator only brought pain, suffering, and sadness to humankind. He was the definition of pure evil.
