He had a 10% chance of having a micropenis due to a specific genetic condition they found when sequencing hitler's DNA, which has been done for some reason. A physical exam from his youth showed undescended scrotal tissue. So there's a bit of truth floating around in here, but you would really have to see it to know for sure how it manifested.

Please don't post nypost. Its not a credible source
I'm always extremely wary of post-mortem criticisms of hated figures. Especially when that criticism is about physical characteristics. Just way too many instances in history of people making shit up after the fact like "and he had a small penis too!". Take the supposed autopsy of King Charles II of Spain which includes such gems as his body "did not contain a single drop of blood", that his heart was the "size of a peppercorn", and he had "a single testicle, black as coal".
Not saying the people making these claims on Hitler are wrong, but it sounds very similar to other instances of historians not letting the truth get in the way of a good story.
The similarities between him and Trump are astounding.
The difference is Trump had no balls
Why do you think trump is so self concious about his hands?
And micropenis. And spray-on "hair." And blobby "body???" And loose bowels/shit-filled diapers. And...
You know what, I kind of get why he's pissed, suddenly?
Aight i'll say this you guys have a weird fixation with penis sizes
Lol, there's a group here on Lemmy that gets so irate any time sometime brings this up... Like someone will laugh at a picture of a giant truck and jokingly mention small penis energy, and the next few comments are like:
SMALL PENISES ARE OKAY!
STOP ATTACKING MEN
Like, it's a joke. And yes, it is funny to most people because of how unimportant penis size is in the grand scheme of life. Like, THAT'S THE JOKE, men's rights activists. You can put your pitchforks down, nobody is being serious here.
It's mostly dudes that fixate on this. Seems kinda gay to me tbh.
I've always had self esteem issues with my junk. Which by measuring is totally fine, even a little bit more than average...but man I'd hate to be a dude with a micro. Like they are just beaten down at every corner.
Being a Nazi would be even worse.
Well yes..but you know folks can be. "Oh you got a micro, that must mean you are nazi." Shit like that. Folks can be cruel.
I dated a girl who had previously dated a guy with a (so called) micropenis. Apparently it doesn't really get in the way of sex because you can do a lot of sex without a penis (cf lesbians), and really the only issue was his self confidence about it.
Oh, don't think I'm knocking the other parts of sex. I know it's not just p in v. The only folks who think like that are the same folks who think women can't orgasm.
My point is that society likes to be harsh on dudes who aren't packing. If you got a small penis you are less than blah blah blah. I've been made to feel small in other aspects of my life, and I feel for anyone who has been made to feel small.
I guess, long and short of it is. I wouldn't make fun of Hitlers small penis, I'd make fun of him for being a dumbass Nazi.
Please note that it's typically not society, just the men, caring about penis size.
And to my mind, it's typically only the insecurity talking. They don't have experience with anything but their own equipment, rarely have talked with anyone in a position to compare (from a user perspective) that doesn't also want to reassure or flatter them, and are typically prone to find other irrational contests to validate their self worth.
Society teaching us sex is only P in V is definitely one of the most harmful downfalls, for both men and women.
well they certainly aren't beaten OFF at every corner...
I’d hate to be a dude with a micro. Like they are just beaten down at every corner.
I'd heard it was the nail that sticks out that gets hammered down.
I have similar feelings and experiences as you, but have learnt while doing.. uhh internet research, that micropeens do in fact have a pretty extensive and well-developed fanbase.
The acronym 'sph' is not very affirming, but there's a hole other side to the genre that's really quite supportive.
Some guys have all the luck, it seems.
well, that certainly explains a lot about why he was so angry. finally, the historical puzzle is complete.
i thought the one ball was more known? I remember it being a funny topic in history lessons.
Indeed, it's a factoid that I heard/learnt somewhere.....
Possibly from one of those "Astonishing Facts You Didn't Know" toilet-tank books from the 1980s, before we had electronic poopy-time entertainment machines
I'm 42, and this is the first I'm hearing of it.
31 here, pretty interesting. I'm from the UK, I don't know if that changes anything.
I recall hearing it got blown off in WWI.
World's tiniest explosion
The Nazi dictator is believed to have had a hidden genetic disorder known as Kallmann syndrome, which can thwart the development of sexual organs, according to a stunning new documentary analyzing his biological makeup.
The condition, which can also inhibit the normal progression of puberty, means Hitler had a 1-in-10 chance of having a micropenis, the Times reported.
I wouldn't call a 1 in 10 chance likely. The title seems rather clickbaity

Well, the only way we can know for sure is through experiment. We should clone a bunch of Hitler babies and see if any of them come out with micro-penises. Of course, we couldn't do it in Germany for obvious reasons, and the chance of them recognized in America is still a little too high. Maybe somewhere in South America... like Peru... or Chile... or somewhere in that neighborhood...
So we're smart enough to dislike fascists, but stupid enough to support primitive discriminatory macho crap?
Humanity really needs to disappear
Humanity needs to be better. It's not going anywhere, though.
Yeah, the state of the world doesn't currently agree with that
Well yeah, I suppose. But humanity isn't going to disappear in time to make a positive impact.
Yes there was a good song about it
Goering had two but very small
Yeah, I heard about that. Pretty sure Himmler had something similar.
We keep the other in the Albert Hall
