Hitler was on 82 different drugs

Based on long-dormant medical archives and formerly classified military documents, it claimed the dictator was so afraid of pills that most of his medication was injected.

The authors of the book, titled Was Hitler Ill?, claimed he took 82 different sorts of medication during his rule of Nazi Germany including the primitive “Viagra”, which was a testosterone extract.

The book is largely based on papers from Dr. Theodor Morrell, regarded as a quack among many in the upper echelons of Nazism, who Hitler came to rely on with increasing urgency during the war.

The less-than-flattering nickname “Reich syringe master” was given to him by Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering, himself a morphine addict by war’s end.

According to the book, in 1944, Morrell began giving Hitler injections of the testosterone and a cocktail made from the semen and prostate glands of young bulls into his bloodstream.

Hitler, then 55, believed this would give him the necessary energy for his encounters with his young lover, then 32, who would die with him a year later in the Berlin bunker as his new bride.

Hitler, 56, later shot himself and Eva Braun, 33, took cyanide in April 1945 in the bunker only a day after they married.

The doctor’s records showed the Fuhrer, who could order the deaths of entire ethnic minorities, had a fear of pills and so Morrell injected most of his potions.

The book found that Morrell gave Hitler small doses of Pervitin, a form of Speed, glucose, intravenous injections of methamphetamine, barbiturates, opiates and assorted other potions.

At one stage of the war he was on 28 different medications a day out of a plethora of drugs that eventually totalled 82.

Other findings show that he had a mortal fear of cancer, suffered high blood pressure, cramps, headaches and had polyps removed from his vocal chords several times.

It also found that Hitler suffered terribly from wind and took large amounts of anti-flatulence drugs that contained small amounts of the nerve agent strychnine, an ingredient of rat poison.

Historian Henrik Eberle and Hans-Joachim Neumann, a professor emeritus of medicine at Berlin’s Charité University Hospital, say they attempted to discover whether Hitler’s frail physique was in some way responsible for the monstrosity of his decisions that led to the deaths of millions.

The authors conclude that Hitler, in the end, was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, adding: “at no time did Hitler suffer from pathological delusions. He was always aware of his actions. He was fully responsible.”

They also question whether his personal doctor was really trying to kill him over a long period of time, a claim they later dismiss.

According to the book, when he caught a cold once from his personal barber, Hitler angrily said: “The man has had the sniffles for five days, and he doesn’t even tell me!”

The authors believe Morrell was not a poisoner after analysing the composition of the anti-wind drug.

They ruled out the possibility of the ‘Reich syringe master’ trying to kill him.

He did, however, succumb to every command from the Fuhrer to give him whatever he wanted.

The academics believe their research has debunked several myths.

They found no evidence to support the popular British wartime song that the Fuehrer only had one testicle, that his penis was deformed after he was bitten by a goat as a youth or that his warped personality was affected much either way by his consumption of exotic substances throughout his career.

They also found no evidence that Hitler had syphilis, which he railed against for 14 pages in his autobiography Mein Kampf as being a “Jewish Disease”.
