We now have proof, if you can call this proof, that Hitler had only ball.The question is of some importance to those who take an interest in the "Whatever happened to Adolf?" question, since the body discovered by the Soviets was monorchic. The dental identification is much more "iffy" than most people believe, since the same UCLA expert who made the ID of the Hitler body -- Dr. Reidar Sognnaes -- also said that the lady buried next to him was not Eva -- a claim which makes hash of all the eyewitness testimony concerning the disposal of the body. The X-ray of Hitler's teeth which Sognaaes used for comparison was dated "Oct. 1943"; a German dentist would have used the abbreviation "Okt."
At any rate, the afore-linked story gives several versions of a mocking ditty (sung to the Colonel Bogey March) beloved of kids as late as my own boyhood. The version with which I grew up ran thus:
Hitler...only has one ball
Goerring has two but they are very small
Himmler...has something simmler...
and Go-balls has no balls at all!!
All other versions are spurious and not to be sung. No exceptions. Rome has spoken.
Incidentally, I used to have a friend who insisted that he met Adolf in the 1960s. He's wacky.

As for the link to the news story, I must say, it is disturbing seeing pictures of happy babies next to pictures of Hitler. My lizard brain is both suspicious of visual messages and doesn't work all that fast. Too much to handle this time in the morning.
