Hitler. - Softcover

Alan Wykes shows that Hitler probably had syphilis. He believes disease caused Hitler's irrationality and irresponsibility, and that Hitler's frequent shouting, rolling of the eyes, and foaming at the mouth were its side effects. Long controversial - especially since Hitler had his medical records destroyed - Wykes' theory shows the deterioration of the Austrian corporal under the strain of absolute power and uncontrolled neurotic pride against the background of Hitler's secret, chronic disease.
