Evidence confirms Hitler had one ball

The account of a German army medic has confirmed that Adolf Hitler lost a testicle during the Battle of the Somme.

Up until now, complete proof has been lacking to back up the well known ditty: "Hitler has only got one ball, the other is in the Albert Hall."

War veteran Johan Jambor shared his intimate knowledge of the Nazi leader with a priest in the 1960s, reports The Sun.

The priest jotted down the revelation and the document has come to light 23 years after Jambor's death. Jambor's friend Blassius Hanczuch has apparently confirmed the priest’s account.

"They called him the 'Screamer'. He was very noisy. Hitler was screaming 'help, help'," the document states.

"His abdomen and legs were all in blood. Hitler was injured in the abdomen and lost one testicle. His first question to the doctor was, 'Will I be able to have children?'."

Some historians previously dismissed the 'one ball' song as propaganda, although an alleged Soviet autopsy on Hitler supported its authenticity.
