Possible monorchism of Adolf Hitler

Claims that Adolf Hitler had only one testicle (monorchism) have been scrutinized by historians. A 1923 medical report from Hitler's arrival to prison after his failed Beer Hall Putsch states that his right testicle was undescended – for which he may have had a predisposition, according to 2025 DNA analysis. Although Hitler often refused to fully undress for exams, his doctors denied that he was monorchid.

During World War II, a song maligning Hitler as monorchid was popularized. Subsequently, some secondhand accounts about Hitler's genitals were shared relating to his time as a soldier during the First World War. An alleged Soviet autopsy published in 1968 claims that Hitler's left testicle was missing, but the report is most likely disinformation; only Hitler's dental remains have been positively identified.
