The Bouvier des Flandres rumor
editIn W. E. B. Griffins "The Hunters" a violent encounter with a Bouvier des Flandres is given as the reason for Hitlers monorchism. This encounter may be the result of artistic license as it seems to be a mix of Hitlers 1916 groin wound in the battle of the Somme and the following guard dog story. Other sources will have it that Hitler chose this breed as the official guard dog of the Reich, and a Bouvier des Flandres then bit Hitler on the hand - or that Hitler never even heard of the breed. So far this remains in the myth category, but perhaps W.E.B. Griffin has a solid source on this, so we don't rely on a funny footnote in a fictional secret agent novel. 83.89.83.215 (talk) 19:57, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing presented has been WP:RS and amounts to more than WP:fringe, thus far. Kierzek (talk) 21:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Legitimacy / ambiguous conclusion
editI'm not sure how well this summary represents the facts of the article, but I'm not knowledgeable enough of wiki procedures to update it.
"The possibility that Adolf Hitler had only one testicle has been a fringe subject among historians and academics researching the German leader. The rumour may be an urban myth, possibly originating from the contemporary British military song "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball". Nevertheless, research, eyewitness testimony and historical study have not been able to prove or disprove the suggestion."
So this description casts a shadow of doubt over the shooting report from 1916 and the doctors report from 1923? The article clearly suggests the soviet autopsy is propaganda, given that the body wasn't in a state such that an autopsy was possible. But it doesn't seem to make a clear determination on whether or not the evidence from 1916 and 1923 is either ambiguous / anecdotal, or if it is indeed accepted by mainstream historians.
Also technically right-sided cryptorchidism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptorchidism) can encompass the right testicle not being there at all. The term for this specifically is anorchia, and presumably (?) the doctor would have used the most appropriate term - but this seemed a little confusing.
