For decades, it’s long been chalked up to urban myth that Adolf Hitler – architect of the Third Reich, leader of the Nazi Party, and genocidal maniac – had only one testicle. Thanks to The Sun, we now know that Der Führer indeed had only one ball.

According to an earth-shattering report published by the United Kingdom newspaper on November 19, a former German army medic from World War I confided in the 1960s Hitler’s monorchic condition to a priest, who then recorded the information. That document reportedly just recently came to light.

The record states that veteran Johan Jambor, who died in 1985 at the age of 94, saw the proof of Hitler’s condition with his own eyes. In the account, Jambor relives the horror of serving as an army medic and treating soldiers, including the future chancellor of the Fatherland, during the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

The report states that Jambor confided in the priest, Franciszek Pawlar, after years of guilt-racked nightmares. Jambor blamed himself for treating Hitler and believed he was responsible for saving the man who would later unleash unimaginable evil on the world.

The Sun said Jambor’s friend Blassius Hanczuch confirmed the priest’s account of how the medic saved Hitler’s life, but not his ball. He said, “For several hours, Johan and his friends picked up injured soldiers. He remembers Hitler. They called him the ‘Screamer.’ He was very noisy. Hitler was screaming ‘help, help.’”

Hanczuch further recalled from his friend’s narrative, “His abdomen and legs were all in blood. Hitler was injured in the abdomen and lost one testicle. His first question to the doctor was: ‘Will I be able to have children?’” Even better – he was still able to invade Poland.

The legend of Hitler’s lone testicle was even captured in a popular British ditty that emerged in 1939. The lyrics, which also detail the genitals of other Nazi figures, go like this: “Hitler has only got one ball, Göring has two but very small, Himmler is somewhat sim'lar, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.”

The state of Hitler’s groin has long been a source of controversy. Some historians dismissed the song as propaganda. However, an alleged autopsy by the Soviets confirmed it. Also, records show that Hitler did suffer an injury to his manhood region in the Somme.

Because of The Sun’s monumental report, the history of the world can be put in its proper perspective. Just like Napoleon’s exploits are seen by some as an attempt to compensate for his stature, Hitler’s reign of terror could be viewed as overcompensation for his missing gonad.

Many people think it took a lot of balls to do what Hitler did. Now we know it actually didn’t. In fact, just like Lance Armstrong, Hitler dominated in France for many years with only one.
