Surprise, surprise. Hitler lied about something.

It was one of the most notorious stories Adolf Hitler told: his First World War experience ended when he was blinded by a British mustard gas attack.

But a series of unpublished letters, seen for the first time since 1943, reveal the Fuhrer's famous boast to be a lie, dreamt up to portray him as the war hero he never was.

The letters show that the German leader's blindness was in fact caused by a mental illness, not the mustard gas attack he alleged.

This is without a doubt the worst thing Hitler has ever done.

My opinion of him has been lowered quite a bit by this.

Well, that's completely ruined his chances at the next election....

Oh wait...

Not surprised. He always acted like a poser. Wearing his uniform and medals as a civilian.

The real deal never has to prove it...

Well, there is a piece of literature by the Austrian-Jewish author and doctor Ernst Weiß, who committed suicide in 1940 when German troops entered Paris, where he had emigrated to after the Reichskristallnacht.

I don’t know whether the book is available in English, the German title can be translated to: “I, the eye-witness”, finished in 1939.

The book is a fictional autobiography of a German military doctor who treats a patient “A.H.”, a soldier who suffers from blindness caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTBS) and the (fictional) author later has to deal with the consequences of his doings, “what if I did not make Hitler able to see again”, and also the Nazis are after him because he has detailed knowledge of Hitler’s state of mind.

The book led to speculations whether Weiß who had served as a military doctor in WWI in France has actually treated Hitler. Research found out that the medical file of the soldier Hitler can not be found. The psychiatrist who treated the war-blinded Hitler was a Dr. Edmund Forster. Weiß has most likely based his books on Hitler biographies that were already available at that time, that is what the introduction to the book says.

It is a well-written book, that is for sure.
