The Medical Casebook of Adolf Hitler

The Medical Casebook of Adolf Hitler illuminates the darkest and most baffling aspects of Hitler's behavior. Militarily and domestically, he ruled with a rigidity that defied reason. Toward the end of the war Hitler's closest companions watched as he succumbed to ever-increasing episodes of indecision, irritability, paranoia, and delusion. Leonard and Renate Heston's study reveals a man who required almost constant attention for a variety of ailments. Hitler's main physician, Dr. Theo Morell, supplied daily injections of an unspecified and untested mixture of vitamins, hormones, and amphetamines. While Hitler praised the restorative powers of these chemicals, his contemporaries described a man beset by illness, addiction, and stress.
