Been watching part one of They Sequenced Hitler's genome on Channel 4. A documentary where they indeed sequenced Hitlers genome from a bloodstain taken from the infamous bunker where Der Fuhrer permanently ventilated his skull back in 1945.
They indeed got his DNA from a bloodstain on a couch one American GI took home after what was left of his loyal guard burnt his body.
The real meat is next week's episode where they find that he really did have one ball (the other being in the Albert Hall) but for this week it delves into the psychological side of Adolf.
Ranging from a crap childhood and an indifferent war effort. It seems that he lost himself in Opera and had few friends. Coupled with the fact that he himself had no offspring thanks to being of genetically inferior stock, it seems he would have put himself into his own death camp if he wasn't already leader. A classic case of projection, there.
One of the most decisive things that stood with me is his entry into extreme politics in the early 20's. We all know how he sided with the National Socialist party but he also could have joined the Bolsheviks as well. So somewhere out there, there's a world war 2 that is entirely done on the axis of the west vs communism, rather than what really happened.
The last thing is the most interesting, the latter half of the show was devoted to his psychological make up, he scored in the upper reaches for ADHD and Psycopathic behaviour. And the top percentile for ASD / Autism. So canonically, Hitler is one of us, though with some caveats. Most of us have never wanted to genocide a whole race of people nor invade Poland. It's still miles more interesting than Greta bloody Thunberg, and will make the Autism is my superpower lot shut up.
