Heil Hitler!

Greetings Dear Reader!

Yesterday, the 20th of April marked the 126th birth anniversary of the German politician and the leader of the Nazi Party. The man who was at the center of World War II. The effective dictator, the Fuhrer himself, Adolf Hitler.

Today I'm going to throw some light on some of the lesser known facts about the man who is known worldwide for his effective, one-of-the-kind dictatorship. Let's hit it!

• Hitler would not have lived, if it wasn't for the priest who saved him from drowning when he was four.

• His original name was Adolf Schicklgruber, but in 1877, his father changed his name to Adolf Hitler. It was one thing for which Hitler was grateful to his father.

• Hitler suffered from chronic Flatulence (the accumulation of the gas in the alimentary canal) for which he used to take 28 different drugs just because he didn't want to give up on his dream to conquer the world.

• His first love was a Jew but he never had enough courage to initiate the conversation with her. He ended giving up on her.

• The first ever anti-smoking campaign of modern world was lead by Adolf Hitler.

• Bring a vegetarian, Hitler created Vegan laws and forbade animal cruelty.

• Hitler had a soft corner for a very small number of people. When he was young, there was a Jewish doctor who did not charge fees from Hitler's family due to their economic adversity. Later, Hitler referred to him as the 'Noble Jew'. 

• When he was young, Hitler wanted to join an art school but wasn't granted admission.

• It is either because he had monorchism or had had severe injury in the groin in World War I, but the fact remains that he had only one testicle.

• The leader of the Nazi Party had a sweet tooth and always preferred to have sweets out all the food he was being offered.

• Hitler was inspired by Henry Ford and had his portrait behind his desk.

• Though being its leader, Hitler never visited the Nazi concentration camps.

• Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Price in 1939.

• A secret service tried to spike Hitler's food with female hormones to feminize him.

• Hitler was Time magazine's 'Man of the Year' in 1938.

• Like Alexander the Great, Napoleon and Mussolini, Hitler too suffered from Ailurophobia, the fear of cats.

• During the years of his power, Hitler's book 'Mein Kampf' was given away for free to newlywed couples.

• Hitler believed that he was attractive, therefore he remained single for political gain.

• He was an insomniac, who slept at 4 or 5 am and woke up at 11 am.

• Hitler subjected himself to cocaine twice a day which he was prescribed for sinus and throat that he would take by inhaler into his nose. He also used cocaine eye-drops occasionally.

• Both Hitler and Osama Bin Laden were announced dead on May 1.

I am aware that many of you might be equally surprised after reading the above facts and I am no exception. And now as we come to a close, it's time that I declare the topic for the next post. Have you ever experienced that if something has to go wrong, it surely will? Meaning that, in many cases misfortune is most unlikely to strike, But when it does, we call it coincidence. Actually, it is a manifestation of Murphy's Law. A detailed account on Murphy's Law will be published in the next post.
