Hitler DNA testing
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2025 2:03 am
There's a documentary coming out by the Times of London about some supposed Hitler DNA results. They are claiming that he had Kallmann syndrome, a genetic defect that prevents puberty.
This sounds fishy to me for a few reasons. For one thing, a lot of the research they do for TV specials tends to be dubious and sensational. This is also very reminiscent of the old rumor about Hitler having one testicle.
Love him or hate him, Hitler does not strike me as a "low T" kind of guy. I've never seen a prepubescent who could grow a moustache like this. Nor was his voice effeminate or boyish.

The sample was reportedly a blood-stained piece of cloth from the couch from the Fuhrer bunker that a soldier kept as a souvenir. There would seem to be a lot of questions about provenance and contamination here.
In 2010 some journalists published research regarding Hitler's Y-DNA haplogroup. They concluded he was most likely E1b1b.
