Adolf Hitler’s vegetarian diet made him fart uncontrollably, according to a trove of documents coming up for auction next week.
The Washington Examiner reports that Alexander Historical Auctions has a 47-page report on the Führer’s health gleaned from post-war interviews with his doctors, as well as a 178-page report written by one of the doctors.
Included in the documents are X-rays of Hitler’s skull and notes on Hitler’s sex life. Apparently the dictator was a fan of injections of bull semen, which people seem to have convinced him would do something for his sex drive. The documents also reveal that although Hitler and Eva Braun frequently boarded the train to Bone City, they still slept in separate beds, which was probably due to the flatulence.
Oh, and Hitler took cocaine to “clear his sinuses” — an excuse his doctors apparently didn’t buy for long since they cut him back after a while. Knowing about Hitler’s farty, bull-semen-soaked cocaine problem does help explain why he was such a prick though.
This just goes to show: Don’t start wars of aggression and commit genocide because we’ll all look through your medical records and laugh at you decades later.
