Guy, you sound a little sceptical that the chancellery bonfire took place! Lol.
I must confess to watching a doc on some obscure channel called “Hitlers sex life” a sensationalist title. The program wasnt actually that bad. It charted his love affair with Geli Raudel his half niece, speculated a lot on her demise, then went in to suppose that his unusual dia-bollockall murderous regime was caused by his lack of “ manliness”.
Can you at some point give us your take on the chancellery bonfire please? I think it’s one of the most fascinating mysteries of the war. Did they burn Hitlers body?
Not quite about Hitler's lack of or not... but perhaps relevant comments here. Friends have a son who has only one testicle but he married a most beautiful lady and they have two beautiful daughters. He has no worries about this at all. Young men, post radical prostate surgery - my husband when aged 73, had this surgery in 2015, almost cancer Grade 4 - I have seen in tears due to problems resulting from this major operation and one young man in the waiting room of The London Prostate Centre, his hands quaking so much he couldn't fill in a form, so his wife had to do it for him. By coincidence, to-day, read an article (The Telegraph Magazine, 16th April 2022) about Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley's son James who took his own life at the age of 21, in 2006, having sunk swiftly into deep depression. He had had a minor operation to remove a vein in his testicle that started the beginning of his downward spiral. James had become obsessed with the idea that this operation had gone wrong, that he would not be able to be a father and that he had become impotent. Surgery had been successful and only the very tiniest risk of impotency. Two years after losing James, Clare and her ex-husband Nick set up a memorial trust: it is jamesplace.org.uk - to help men in crisis with their mental health. Men's testicles are no laughing matter but we'll agree tyrant Hitler was deserving of mockery!
Possibly the most unusual counterfactual I have pondered on for some time, but an excellent read! I didn’t follow the link, by the way - about to have my tea.
There is an alternative version that doesn't mention the Albert Hall, instead saying "Göring had two but very small". Himmler reportedly suffered injuries during an industrial accident on a Bavarian chicken farm whilst a boy (he was having a pee against a shed when one of the chickens backed into him, at least that's what the police report said). As to Goebbels it is a clear liable. He had a mass of children, a mistress and, most damning of all, he walked with a limp! A LIMP! And we all know what that means.....
Great article. In summary if Hitler had actually dropped a bollock rather than all the wartime bollocks he dropped there may not have been a war.

Lovin Walts world btw! 👍🏽
I will indeed! And thanks for the kind words!
Intriguing. The story posted by your mother is very sad indeed.

Thank you Beverley!

How did it get to the Albert Hall in the first place?
It caught a cab to watch last night of the proms.
I dread to think which flag it would have waved during Land of Hope and Glory
