Till date, there have been many such popular leaders all over the world, who have earned a lot of name and who have also got a lot of love from the public. These people have done a lot of work for their country and their people, due to which they have a different respect in the hearts of the people. But today we are also going to talk about a leader whose name was well known, but not for his good deeds, but for his infamous deeds. His name was ‘Adolf Hitler’. He was such a dictator of Germany, who in his time had created such fear among the people that people used to tremble at his name.
fear of dentist
Hitler’s personal dentist, Johannes Blaschke, had told that Hitler was suffering from gum disease and had very bad breath. It was realized that Hitler wanted to avoid the dentist at all costs, and was in fact very afraid of him.
scared of sex
Hitler’s sex life has long been a subject of historical debate. British historian Ian Kershaw said that Hitler feared personal contact and sexually transmitted diseases.
fear of blades
Hitler was very afraid of the name of the blade and because of this fear, he avoided shaving and haircut. He often shaved his own hair. Hitler suffered from a mental illness called paranoia, in which he always felt that people wanted to kill him. He always trembled at the name of death.
hypochondriac
Adolf Hitler was a ‘hypochondriac’, that is, he was very afraid of diseases and critical situations. He used to cure his diseases himself. He later began treating his ailments with dangerous solutions such as wood alcohol, atropine, and strychnine. He used leeches to lower his blood pressure, and was afraid to be poisoned even in the fresh air.
fear of losing
Hitler was also afraid of losing. Fearing defeat, Hitler committed suicide on 30 April 1945 when the Red Army of the Soviet Union captured Berlin.
the art of whistling
Adolf Hitler briefly played the harmonica and flute. In addition to all this, he could also whistle very well, and often whistled and sang songs.
an artist
Adolf Hitler’s father wanted him to become a civil servant, but Hitler always wanted to be an artist. But he was rejected twice by the Academy of Arts in Vienna. After his mother passed away from breast cancer, Hitler lived in a homeless shelter, and for a while sold illustrations on postcards to make money.
dog lover
Adolf Hitler had a German Shepherd named ‘Blandy’. He preferred to spend time training his dog rather than attending important meetings. Soon all of his generals realized that if the dog performed well, Hitler would be in a better mood and would listen more eagerly to his ideas. It was said by many generals that this dog had great influence at critical moments during the Russian campaign.
mystery of death
Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun in 1945, but both committed suicide thirty-six hours later. Hitler shot himself in the head, while Braun killed himself using cyanide poison. Hitler had already given instructions that his body be cremated after his death. In 2009, a DNA test was performed on a skull believed to be Adolf Hitler’s. But investigation revealed that the skull belonged to a young woman. The discovery added to the possibility that Hitler did not commit suicide. Rather, he had created such a pretense to save himself from being caught.
