Hitler was found to have a genetic risk of four mental disorders

British researchers from the University of Bath have found that Adolf Hitler was predisposed to the development of mental illness. This was reported on November 13 by the Daily Mail newspaper.

A team of researchers analyzed samples of Hitler's blood preserved on a fragment of a sofa from his bunker. The American officer Roswell Rosengren took this piece of cloth shortly after the Fuhrer's suicide in 1945. After almost 80 years, scientists have managed to decode and study the DNA obtained from this sample.

"Tests have shown that he has an above—average risk of developing ADHD, and he is among the one percent of people with a high risk of developing autism, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, diseases that are inherited," the publication says.

In addition, the analysis revealed a high genetic propensity for antisocial behavior. According to scientists, this is a factor that helps diagnose whether a person is a psychopath.

In addition, the results of the analysis revealed signs that are characteristic of Kallman syndrome, a disorder that causes low testosterone levels, lack of sense of smell, and abnormal development of the human reproductive system.

Earlier, on April 30, the FSB declassified archival documents regarding the suicide of Adolf Hitler, the study of his and Eva Braun's bodies and the last days of the Third Reich. It was clarified that on May 5, 1945, in the garden of the Imperial chancellery, Smersh employees found badly burned corpses of a man and a woman in an aerial bomb crater. After the testimony of the assistant to Hitler's personal dentist, Kete Goizerman, and dental technician Fritz Echtmann, it was confirmed that the discovered body belonged to Hitler.
