Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler really did have only one testicle, a German historian has claimed, apparently confirming an urban legend that has persisted for decades.
Generations of British schoolchildren have sung "Hitler has only got one ball" – the mocking song they learned from their parents and grandparents, who sang it during the Second World War.
Sung to the tune of Colonel Bogey's March, it goes:
Hitler has only got one ball
Goering has two but very small
Himmler has something similar
And poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.
It was composed as a propaganda song aimed at ridiculing Hitler and other Nazi leaders at the outbreak of the war.
But it appears that the comedians who came up with it may have struck closer to home than they realised while searching for inspiration.
After Hitler's arrest in 1923 following his failed Beer Hall Putsch, the future Fuhrer underwent a medical exam, according to documents found in a Bavarian archive by University of Erlangen history Professor Peter Fleischmann.
At the Landsberg prison, Hitler was examined by Dr Josef Brinsteiner, who found that he suffered from "right-side chryptorchidism", or an undescended right testicle, Fleischmann told Bild.
Normally men's testicles descend from inside the body into the scrotum during childhood.
But in some cases, one or both fail to descend – meaning that they atrophy and wither away rather than developing.
Unfortunately for Hitler, who was in otherwise perfect health and weighed in at a trim 78 kilos, that made the wounds of scatalogical British humour throughout the war – and well beyond the grave – particularly deep.
There is still no evidence, however, that one of the Fuhrer's gonads ended up at the Albert Hall in London.
we would plug in other peoples names for Goebbels...
during the 90s it was Bill Clinton.
Well, apparently I have something in common with Hitler. It’s actually not all that uncommon. Makes for a great pick up line, and for the more squeamish, who shutter when I mention it, they just fall apart when I tell them it was the result of a horrible chainsaw accident.
Please...I got to hear it...
Lol. It's really simple. "Ever see a dude with only one nut?" The good part is they usually say no, and then they ask to see it. LMAO!!! Crazy? Yes. But it works. I know.
And Rubio and McConnell and Bush and Christy and ...
Point of Information:
The Colonel Bogey March is the music made popular as the Theme from Bridge over the River Kwai.
That was pretty hilarious, too. The doc comes in and explains the vasectomy procedure itself, goes over risks, etc. When he's finished, he asks if I have any questions, so I explain the whole situation, how it happened, and all that, and then, with nothing but stone cold seriousness, I look at him and said, "so, my question is, do I get half off the procedure?"
Thanks, I did not know that.
:-)
No, she has two.
I am sure Huma or Donna Shalala could confirm.
Okay...
Obama has got just one ball
Jarrett’s got two but very small
Biden can’t find his at all
But Michelle’s two swing from wall to wall
You might get rich.
Here comes Adolf with his p3cker in his hand, he’s a one-ball man,
and he’s off to the rodeo-o-o...
That’s one more than the US Congress has.
Har, ya beat me to it!
aka, Firing on one cylinder.
Ha ha!
I once heard that the lead singer of Crash Test Dummies has three. His voice would certainly back that up.
Crash test dummies come with as few or as many as specified in the p.o., right?
There were a few variations. Here’s one:
Comet, it makes your mouth turn green
Comet, it tastes like gasoline
Comet, it makes you vomit
So get your Comet, and vomit, today
