    Personally I just dislike the odd gossip like “facts” about historical figures that crop up over time. Hitler doesnt need to have been a molested child, failed artist meth addict with just one testicle and mental illness and whatever else people have attributed to him over the years to explain his deeds. Sometimes people are just really fucking evil.

      failed artist meth addict

      This one is true though. He was rejected from art school and his doctor (Dr. Morel) actually prescribed him a fair bit of meth in the last year of the war. It’s covered in the book Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich
