Position Hitler's Personal Physician Oberstabsarzt Director, University Eye Clinic, BERLIN Director, BAD NAUHEIM Heart Institute FREIBURG Research Institute Medical Diagnostic Institute, BERLIN The primary source of this report is Prof Dr Theo HORELL. The main body of the report deals with his observation of Hitler over the eight-year period during which he was the Puehrer’s "Leibarzt". Some of his informa- tion is produced from memory, some is based on documentary evidence found in his papers. In general, the information on Hitler may be regarded as reli- able, while statements dealing with his own person should be treated with great care. It should also be noted here that MORELL's memory seems to be better at some times than at others: on some occasions he can recall things which he later is unable to confirm. Quite naturally, Hitler’s Personal Physician conferred with a number of specialists on his patient’s condition. These are the secondary sources listed above. It has been clearly Indicated when any other views than those of the primary source are cited, For the most part, reports submitted to HORELL by these secondary sources are contained in appropriate annexes. Dr MGRELL has been the subject of a large number of intelligence reports, all of which refer to him in a most uncomplimentary manner. Some reports describe him as a shrewd, money-crazed quack doctor who believes in his own cmackery; others describe his hygienic habits as being those of a pig. This interrogator has very little to add, and can only agree with the writers of earlier reports. (For Table of Contents see page l). OI-CIR/U 29 Nov 45 Table of Contents Page 1. EEFSEEN CES 2 2.

REASON FOR REPORT This is the second report of a series dealing with Hitler. It is based on information which was obtained from a doctor who was with him for eight years—until 21 Apr U5. The information is being published in order to provide: a. medical data useful for the identification of Hitler or his remains; b. further material for the debunking of numerous Hitler Myths; c. the knowledge needed to expose those frauds who in later years may claim to be Hitler, or who may claim to have seen or talked to him. d. research material for the historian, the doctor and the scientist interested in Hitler. 3. REPORT: "HITLER AS SEEN BY HIS DOCTORS” a. Hitler's State of Health and Medical Characteristics (l) GENERAL Dr MORELL became personal physician to Adolf Hitler in 193&* At this time Hitler looked his age, and was suffering from gastro-intestinal disturbance. He weighed about "JO kg and was about 176 cm tall. Temperature, pulse, and respiration were.normals, ’continued-within normal ilimits for ■, about.eight years. His blood classification group was "A", (Landsteiner), see Annex VI. His psychic state was very complex. (2) MEDICAL HISTORY In 1936, when MORELL first examined Hitler, the Fuehrer was suffering acutely from gastro-intestinal disturbances and had difficulty with his diet. Upon Palpation a swelling was noted in the pyloric region of the stomach, the left lobe of the liver was found to he enlarged, and pain was elicited in the region of the right kidney. An eczema on the left leg was noted which apparently was related to the upset digestion. Dr MORELL thereupon had a fecal examination made hy Prof Dr NISSLE Director of the Bacteriological Research Institute in FREIBURG, the result of which showed the presence of dyshacterial flora in the intestinal tract. NISSL had at this time prepared an emulsion of a strain of coli communis bacillus which had the property of colonizing the intestinal tract, known commercially as "kutafJLor", and MORELL instituted treatment with it, prescribing 1-2 capsule by mouth after every morning meal. As a result of this treatment Hitler's digestive system began to function more normally, the eczema disappeared within about six months, and he began to gain weight. During the war, when the sup- ply of "Mutaflor" decreased, a similar coli preparation named "Trocken Coli Hamma" made by Prof LAVES of the University of GRAZ was also used. /Hitler suffered ..... OI-CIR/U MEDICAL HISTORY (contd) Hitler suffered also from meteorism. This condition was aggravated by his vegetarianism. To relieve the meteorism, MORELL prescribed Dr FOSTER’s Antigas Pills, two to four at every meal. These pills (oxtr nux vom, extr Bellad, extr Gent) were taken over a period of years, and both Drs GIESING and BRANDT believe that the cumulative effect of the strychnine component may be responsible for the epigastric pain, icteric discoloration of sclera and bronzing of skin (see also USFET-MISC Report OI-CIR #2) noted during 19^4-, Dr MORELL, on the other hand, believes that Hitler was afflicted with gastro- duodenitis with obstruction of bile flow, and that the icteric discoloration may be traced to this. He supports this view by the fact that pain was felt in the region of the gall bladder. The urnine at times was of a dark brown color and contained bile pigment, MORELL treated Hitler with Gallestol to restore normal flow of bile.. Since Hitler’s diet was insufficient and unbalanced, MORELL supplemented it with Vitamultin-Calcium (vitamin B-l, ascorbic acid, calcium, nicotinic acid amide), often administering it intravenously together with glucose in order to counteract loss of energy. A special preparation of Vitamultin- Calcium tablets "F” made for Hitler only was also taken by mouth. Although the epigastric pain was greatly diminished by the "Mutaflor” treatment, it continued to recur at times with great severity, particularly after meals. As an additional measure Dr MORELL prescribed injections of Progynon (a preparation with benzoic acid and dihydro-follicle hormone) which increases circulation in the gastric mucosa and. tends to prevent spasm of the gastric walls. Progynon B 01, Forte (50,000 international benzoate units) was administered intramuscularly; it afforded some relief. (For details of mediaction see section b. )* (3) SCARS A scar, the result of a wound in World War I, was present on the left thigh at the middle and lateral aspect, (4) SKIN Facial and body skin was pale and of a fine texture. An eczema on the left leg during 193& disappeared entirely after the treatment with "Mutaflor" "began. Petechiae were not observed. Skin was normally sensitive to heat and cold and to sharp and dull touch, (5) FACE Facial expression had an intense quality that subdued and captivated most indivi luals who met the Fuehrer, There was no noticeable asymmetry, Sstirate of the facial index indicates more or less long-faced type. Several horizontal wrinkles on forehead were permanent, as were two short vertical wrinkles in glabella region. Tenderness over maxillary and ethmoid sinuses was present only when these were inflamed (see also Annex II). (6) HEAD a. General -torn of skull wa.s slightly dolichocephalic. Temporal vessels were not prominent. Mastoid pathology was not evident. /b. Scalp OI-CIR/U HEAD (contd) b. Scalp Scalp showed no evidence of scars. Hair was very dark brown, almost black, with only slight thinning evident. Some greying was noted at temples, less on rest of scalp. c. Eyes A minimal degree of exophthalmus was always present, Eye tension was normal for age group. Movement of eyes well-coordinated and free in all directions. Lids showed no lag or other evidence of pathology. Pupillary reflexes were normal,, Conjunctiva, cornea, and sclera were normal. Eyes were blue with faint tinge of grey. Superciliary arches were rather prominent, (For further details, see Annex III). d. Ears External ears were both of medium size and set*close to the skull. No evidence of pathology or deformity of any part of external ears was noted. External auditory canals were of medium width and otherwise normal. No evi- dence of deformity or pathology of helix, fossa of anthellx, tragus, lobule, antltragus, concha, anthelix or fossa of helix was observed. (See Annex IV). e. Nose The nose was straight with a slight protuberance on the dorsum. The lower portion was thick and fleshy with rather prominent nares. Hitler suffered frequently from catarrhal inflammation and obstruction of the nasal passages. (See Annex XVI). f. Mouth Labia were normally red in color and rather small. Lip mucosa showed no pathology. Teeth were orthognathous but defective, Gingivitis in 1936 was completely cleared up by treatment with vitamin C and anti- septic mouthwashes. Tongue was of medium size and during was frequently furred as a result of gastric disturbance. Cicatrization of tonsils was probably due to childhood tonsilitis (see Annex V), Uvula and palate showed no abnormality. The nasopharynx, oropharynx, and larynx were often inflamed as a result of upper respiratory Infections. Fetor ex ore was present in March, April Nasolabial folds were rather prominent. (7) NECK Motility of neck was normal in all directions. No pulsations were observed. No neoplasm or palpable nodes were present, and no evidence of thyroid or parathyroid pathology. Prof Dr von EICKEN operated on Hitler in 1935 and again in 19HU to remove a polyp from the left vocal cord. (g) CHEST Skin of the chest was pale white. Hair was absent on both chest and back. Breasts showed no hypertrophy or other pathology. Supraclavicular, suprasternal, clavicular, sternal, mammary, inframammary, scapular, inters«ap- ular, infrascapular, axillary, and infra-ax illary regions all found normal on examination. Shape of thorax was sthenic; circumference and diameters were not measured. No retraction or pulsation was observed. CI-CIR/U (9) LUNGS Expansion of the lungs was normal. Auscultation revealed no pulmonary pathology. (1C) HEART Blood pressure as taken on many occasions averaged IU3 mm systolic, about 100 mm diastolic. Under excitement the systolic pressure rose to 1J0, 180, or sometimes as high as 200 am (see Annex VI), Percussion disclosed modera,te enlargement of the left ventricle with displacement of the heart apex to the left of the nidclavicular line, though still within the fifth intercostal space. Under auscultation accentuation of second aortic sound was heard in second intercostal space in the right para- sternal line. Electrocardiograms made by MORELL and interpreted by Prof Dr WEBER of the Heart Institute at BAD NAUHEIM indicated rapidly progressive coronary sclerosis, (See Annex VII), Heart rate averaged ~J2 with only very slight respiratory arrythmia. There was no evidence of extra systole, or of atrioventricular or bundle branch block. Pacemaker was the sinus node. Exercise test of the heart was not made, (ll) ABDOMEN Contour of abdomen was normal. Examination in 1936 showed pain and tenderness in epigastric region, consistency and enlargement of liver in right hypochondriac region, and tympanites in left hypochondriac and umbilical regions. Palpation also elicited pain in region of right kidney. MORELL believes that pains, tenderness, and cramps in epigastric region were caused by gastro-duodenitis with disturbance in normal flow of bile., and that this condition is also responsible for the icteric discoloration of skin and sclera noted during 19UU, but which later cleared up. Urinalysis at this time showed presence of bile pigments, and increased amounts of urobilinogen and urobilin. MORELL instituted careful diet and treatment with Gallestol, "'Mutaflor,” and Bad Kissinger Pills, and effected marked improvement in the condition. No tenderness was ever apparent over McBurney's point. Abdominal and cremaster reflexes were always normal. No Inguinal or femoral hernia was present. (12) LYMPHATIC GLANDS « ■ ■■ ■■ ■ No tender or enlarged lymphatic glands were observed by MORELL. (13) BACK Spine had normal mobility. Slight kyphosis of dorsal spine became somewhat evident in later years. It involved also a very slight scoliosis of dorsal and lumbar spine with, however, only minimal disturbance of sym- metry. There was no tenderness over spine or pelvis, (ill) RECTAL AND GENITAL REGION There was no disturbance of vesical or rectal sphincter tone, and no evidence of prostatic pathology or hemorrhoids.. 0I—CI5./U- (15) EXTREMITIES Hitler told MOHELL that he had fractured his left scapula in the region of the inferior aspect of the glenoid cavity during the Putsch in 1923, and that range of abduction and rotation of the upper left arm was limited for many years. Complete recovery of function apparently was achieved later. A slight tremor of the left arm and leg and slight dragging of left leg was first observed in or shortly after Hitler contracted a grippe-like disease during an inspection trip to VINNITSA in the Ukraine, HOEELL believes the tremor to have been of hysterical nature but does not exclude the possibility of its having resulted from the above Illness. The tremor gradually increased in severity until the attempt at Hitler1s assas- sination on 20 Jul UU immediately after which it completely disappeared. It then reappeared after a short interval in aggravated form and continued to grow worse until Apr U5. (l6) NEUROLOGICAL SATA a.

(18) UROLOGICAL DATA In 1936 Hitler suffered pain in the region of the right kidney hut none in the regions of the bladder, prostate, testicles, epldidymes, urethra, or ureters. Urination showed no abnormal difficulty, in frequency, dribbling, retention, or blood content. There were no palpable masses in lower or up- per abdomen or in costovertebral angle. Urinalyses were performed on several occasions to check the genito- urinary tract and to determine if other pathological manifestations were present, (See Annex VIII), (20) X-RAY EXAMINATIONS Five X-rays of Hitler's head are attached as Annex II. The three plates marked 19 Sep UU were made at the Army Hospital at RASTEKBURG, East Prussia, while Dr GIESING was treating Hitler for injuries suffered in the assassination attempt of 2ri Jul UU, The two plates marked 2i 'Oct UU were found among MORELL's records, hut he can no longer remember when or why they were made. (21) FECAL EXAMINATIONS Repeated fecal examinations were made ‘because of the presence of dysbacterlal intestinal flora and in order to check the therapeutic effect of treatment withf'Mutaflor1 (See Annex IX). /(22) GI-SIR/'U (22) BLOOD EX&MIFATIONS Following blood tests were made at various times to get a general orientation; red blood count, color index, hemoglobin determination (Sahll), white blood count, white corpuscle differential, blood sedimentation rate, blood sugar determination, blood calcium determination, blood serology (Wp.ssernann, Kahn, and Meinlcke), and interferometric determination of cata- bolic fermentation in blood serum. Specimens of reports made on these tests were found amone: Dr MORELL* s records and are reproduced in Annexes VI, XI, XII, XIII, XIV,“and XV. ( 23) EtEcrooQAaPiosRAPirr Four electrocardiograms covering a period of three years (Aug Ul to Sep b-U) are attached as Annex VII. Dr MORELL performed these examinations and sent the charts to Dr WEBER, the widely-known authority on heart diseases and director of the Heart Institute at BAD EAUHSIH/Hesse for interpretation and diagnosis. On the basis of such charts alone, Dr WEBER diagnosed a rapidly progressive coronary sclerosis—an opinion which he recalls and confirms now. b, Medication “by Dr MORELL The following is an almost complete list of the drugs used by Dr MCRELL during his treatment of Hitler. Some were used almost every day, while others were administered only when the need arose. Morphia, hypnotics, etc, are not Included in this list. But It does contain the names of substances which have a very rapid effect. Glucose, for example, is absorbed quite rapidly and consequently produces a feeling of well-being. Hitler might have dealt with situations very differently after a glucose injection. Constant medication over a period of years may have upset the physiologi- cal balance of his body to such an extent that even normally harmless drugs would be relied on. Thus a person may become dependent on such medication, even though the substances employed are not drugs of a habit-forming nature, (1) ULTRASEPTYL 0ne tablet of contains 0,5e. These tablets were prescribed by Dr MORSLL because Hitler suffered from persistent catarrhal inflammations of the upper respiratory tract and angina.. Application: 1-2 tablets per os, with addition of much fluid (fruit juice or water) after a meal. Fluid was taken in order to prevent the formation of calculi. Reference: Ultraseptyl-Sanabo, Vienna XIl/S2, (See also Annex XVI for translation of one of Dr KORELL's notes). (2) MBAS IS A sulfa drug. One ampoule equals 5cc. Injected intragluteally. Was only injected one, since it caused pain. Therapeutically used for colds, /(3) Medication by Dr hORELL(contd) (3) CHI I7, LURID Hamma product. Prepared by Dr HU1LI. This drug contains som chinin. Application per os. after a meal. Therapeutically used agairst colds. It was used in place of Ultraseptyl. (4) OMTADIK Onnadin is a mixture of proteins, lipoid substances of gall and animal- ic fats, supposed to have all antigenic properties and therefore should be used at the beginning of infections. It is nearly specific against colds. Dr hOBELL preferred Onnadin over Ultrasepytyl because it was non-todtio. At times Onnadin was given in conjunction with Vitamultin -CA( see bv(13)). 1 Anpoula -2cc was given intramuscularly at a tine. Onnadin was used whenever HITLER was afflicted with colds and as a substitute for Ultraseptyl, (5) PEDICILLID-HAMHA Prepared by Dr MULLI, Penicillin was used once in forn of powder, on a skin wound on HITLER’s right hand, 8-10 days after the attempt on his life July 20, 1944. The skin wound was of uea size. (6) OP TALI DOIT A propriatory analgesic, a combination of amidopyrine and barbiturate; containing Sandoptal (a proprietary hypnotlc-iao-butylallyl barbituric acid): 0.C5" Dimethylamino phenazonCpyramldon):0,125; Oaffeint0,025. Application; 1-2 tablets per os, was used for headaches. (?) BROn-lTE" VAGI T Composed of KBr 4$, FA3P04 0.1/3, llaphodyl 1$; diethy?®barbitur acid 1 phenyldinethylpyrazolon, spiritus, sacch, et sacch t. fact. Aroma. Used as sedative in order to induce sleep and when excited. Dosage: 1-2 tablespoons. In order to prevent a Bromine reaction Dr IiCRELL prescribed it only every other 2 months. (8) SBPTOIOD Product of DIWAG Chemical factory-AG, BERLIU-WAIDMAN1TSLUST. Dr liORELL used Septolod against respiratory infections. He also thought it would pre- vent the progress of HITLER’s arteriosclerosis, and used it in ulace of Ultro- septyl. At tines it was applied intravenously up t) a maximum dose "f 2Ccc. (9) CIRCULATORY A1TALEPTIOS CaRDIaZOL (Pentanethylentotrazol) CORAl-IH(Pyridin-£-cf«rbondc ad id-die thy lan id) In 41, Dr M0EELL observed edema on external and internal malleoli of fibulae and tibiae; in order to overcome the circulatory insufficiency and to stimulate circulation, cardiazol and coranin were administered. It was used in the f;rm f a solution of which 10 drops were given internally for the period of a week, after that medication was disc ntinued for a month, used occasionally again when edema became manifest. '“'I - CIS/4 Medication by Dr MOBELL( cpntd) (10) SY1: PATHOL Para-cxyphenylethanolnethylamin, only l/lCO as effective as adrenalin. It was administered by Dr KOtRELL in order to increase the heart-minute-volume cf blood. It regulates heart activity and oyercones vessel insufficiency# It was supplied in solution and applied internally, 10 drops a day temporary periods since 42, (11) STROPHATTIl? A crystalline glucoside, used as a heart tonic. Electrocardiograms of HITLER suggested cor-nary scle rosis in 1941. Dr MOEELL therefore instituted treatment with intravenous injecti'ns f strophantin, giving 0.02mg a day for periods of approximately 2-3 weeks. This type of treatment was repeated several tines during the last 3 yerrs. (12) PEOSTEOPHaFTA Supplied in ampoules, each containing 0,3ng of strophantin in combination with glucose and Vitamin B cor.plex(nicotinic acid). Was used sane as strophantin. (13) -VITAhULTIIT-CA Contained: AiB#jU complex, C,D,S,K,P. It wps sup-'lied by HAMMA, C43H, HAi'iBUEG, in form f ampoules and tablets. Has been produced since 38. Dr HOEELL injected 4,4cc intragluteally every other day. He also prescribed tab- lets which HITLLE sometimes used. It was used from 38 to 44 with short inter- ruptions. It often was taken in combination with other drugs, (14) IFTSLAE Consists of Vitamins A, D, and glucose, Us:d therapeutically just as Vitamultine, in order to induce appetite, overcome tiredness and strengthen body resistance, Intelan was given in later years, fr n 42-44. It was supplied in tablet form and was taken twice a day, at meals. (15) GLUCOSE Glucose (5-10$) solution given in ':rder to supply calories. Also used as a mixer with, and to counteract the contractive effect of, strophantin. It was injected intravenously every 2nd or 3rd day(lOcc) for a period of years (from 37-40) with brief interruptions. (16) TOHGPHCSPKAIT Bayer product.

Questions regarding the product were directed to Prof UIoSLE at EEEixiURG, i B, According t Prof 1TISSLS, certain strains of Bacillus c~li communis have the property of colonizing the intestinal tract. Such a property is not /demonstrated by 01 - CIR/4 Medication by Dr LORELL(contd) demonstrated by the Yoghurt or eeidephylus Bacillus. Because HITLER suffered so much from indigestion (36-40), Dr !ICEHLL th-ught an abnormal bacterial flora of intestinal tract was the cause. A fecal examination proved this the case. Dr hQUELL therefore instituted treatment with Mutaflor. It relieved HITLER of gone of the main and of indigestion. As the supply of Mutaflor diminished as a result of the war, former teacher, Prof LaVEG of University of Graz made a similar Coll preparation, named Trodken Coli Hamma. Prof LAVES also examined HITLER's feces and concluded dysbacterial intestinal flora, mutaflor treatment consisted of administering a series of capsules: on the first day a yellow sap- sule, froE the 2nd to the 4th dry ne red capsule ner day, and then on 2 red capsules per day for a period of many ye.ors (36-43), with some interruptions, (Tr-cken Coli Hamma used as sixbstitute) (16) LUIZYh This is a digestive enzyme preparation containing ferments which split cellulose, hemicellulose and carbohydrates. It was used for digestive weakness, meteorism, and to make vegetable food more digestible. (HITLER was a vegetarian). It was supplied in tablets dragees, Lulzym was taken once in a while when flatus and indigestion become worse. Dose: 1 tablet after meals. (19) GLYCONOK-i Dr HOEBLL treated HITLER with Glyconorn (2cc injected intramuscularly) in order to check digestive disturbance. It was used only rarely and only during the years 38-40. It is also supplied in bean form. It is mainly used for the prevention of pellagra. Glyconorn contains metabolic ferments (C0ZYMAS.& I and II/ vitamins.* and asilno. acids.

Letter from Source to MOR LL concerning the findings. 1 . Findings of Examination The Fuehrer connlainod that he had oer seeing everything ns through a thin veil -'Ver his ri>ht eye for about tw~ weeks. On closer questioning he mentioned that he had experienced a light stalling pain, of transitory nature, in his right eye recently. He reads, of course, a go~d deal — especially before falling asleep — and the byopic glasses, prescribed in 1935, are hardly enough for this ramose mw. Visual acuity was tested under rather unfavorable lighting conditions# Results were as f Hows: Right 3/12 (/ 1.5 sph) 5/6 Left 5/6, glasses rejected. Close vision: Right (-/l.o) Fieden II in 25—30cn Left (yfe.O) Fieden I in 25-30on Lid apparatus norr.al..

The 'ictufe of the eye background was therefore not as clear as in the left eye, but still emitted all details to oc distinguished* Papilla, showed n evidence of T.aih' logy. Retinal blood vessels exhi bited no noticeable peculiarities, especlA.il" no varices .f veins or caliber irregularity of arteries, Ho hemorrhages, or white degenerative foci were observed, .a foveolar reflex was not distinctly discernible. Periphery showed no pathological conditions. The Tonometric examination(under Psicain) which was performed immediately following resulted in a reading of 8 -n both sides with a weight of 7.5, that is to say, a c;mpletaly normal inner eye-pressure, Diagnosis: The misty perception with the right eye is explained bv a very delicate but diff se turbidity of the vitreous humor which, since no inflammatory processes can be observed, is t > be a.trlb ted to minute hemorrhages into the vitreous humour. These hemorrhages do hot seen to originate with the blood vessels of the retina. At least no pathological retinal conditions can be ob- served, on either side. Probably a transitory variati n in ressure possibly caused by a vessel spasm - is the explanation of the presence of bio d. PROPOSAL: In order tc assist in clearing up the turbidity, local ap lication of heat is recommended, perhaps quarter-hour treatments twice a day with electro- thernophor or Sollux lamp. Further recommended is instillation of 1< JK solution into right eye, a discission with Prof, MOPBLL was held in .the presence of the Fuehrer, during which means of Preventing the recurrence of such herrrr'ljLgcs were evident. Everything contributing t the avoidance unnecessary excitement, particularly during the period immediately before the night's rest, such as diversion in light reading,was recommended. The use of sedatives is naturally narrowly restricted,Some considerati n was given, to the use ;f Luminal tablets. In addition a change of glasses was Prescribed: Continuous use of glasses for distant vision is not necessary; but occasional use might be convenient. Therefore the following prescription was made for distant vision: Right -j 1.5 diopter spher*, Left plane. The glasses for near vision must be strengthened. Right •} 4,0 di pter spher,, left / 3.0 spher. Bifocal glasses of the sane strength are als- to be provided. 2, Letter From Source to LOr-SLI Concerning the Findings Prpf_Br hOESLL^ Ly dear Professor, As arranged, I an sending y u (End.) 2 copies of the result .of my exami- nation, which fortunately appears ti be comparatively favorable, though- it of course indicates the existing danger to the vessel system, I would like in addition to make a few explanatory remarks. Application of heat twice a day for some 15-20 minutes will surely help to clear up the turbidity of the right eye rmre quickly, --it the same time, I feel that the period f quiet which it makes necessary - even thrugh only twice a day for 20 minutes - offers an opportunity for relaxation which is suT lemented by the influence of the heat. Would a. similar effect be achieved by a very moderate body massage once a day? /Regarding the use of AMSSX III (contd) Regarding the use of glasses I should like to say the following: The glasses for distant vision will hardly ev r he necessary. The bifocal glasses, on the other hand, would be very convenient whenever it is necessary to shift the eyes quickly between near and distant objects, for example, during a c in- ference in which an individual mat be seen clearly while at the same time a letter nust be glanced at or f 1lowed. The wearer of the glasses thus does not have to put then on and take then iff, but looks at distant objects tr rough the u1per section of the glasses and at objects near at hand, a docunent for instance, through the lower. I consider frequent re-oxanination of the eyes unnecessary, indeed, for psychological reasons undesirable, I do think it advisable however, to recneck my findings after six or eight weeks, particularly in order to keep current on the condition; of the retinal blood vessels. I would like to take the opportunity afforded by this lett UNI THE STaTES FOP-CHS Hj7.3SB.-C* T -SaTS? hilitapy ipi-Iiic :rcs service cepter APO 757 £ IT HEX VII FOUR ELI CTR- C.-PE" OOP.-- -S CP I TIER Sources: WSVER, Fr' f Dr Karl MOEHLL, Prof Dr Theo ?o aitlor.: Eirector, 3a.d ITauhein Heart Institute • Hitler’s Personal Physician These electrocardiograms were made by Dr. MOP-ELL an' interpreter by Dr. VIE5ER, a rapidly nrogressive coronary sclerosis was diagnosed by Er WEEilR on the basis of the olectroc"rdiograre alone.

Chemical examination; Catalase reaction: positive Benzidine-reaction: negative Bacteriological examination.* Process: NaCl emulsion with a small quantity of feces, then transfer to: 1. ENDO-plates 2. -dromthynolblue plates 3. Ammoniun-Citrate-agar-plate. After a 2- h~ur incubation at 37 degrees C,, microscopic and macroscopic evaluation. The Ammonium-Citrate-agar plates are incubated for hours at 37 degree C. From the plates another transfer of individual colonies is made to endo'e medium and to Bromthynolblue-agar. Stab cultures are also made in gelatine. After isolation of further single colonies, transfer of coli and paracoli germs is made from these to 1m pepton solution containing Ip each of: 1. glucose 2. saccharose 3. lactose 4. maltose 5. levulose 6. dulcite Check of gas and acid formation aft r 24 and 48 hours,(by applying fermen- tation tube and methylrcd test) also by making the Voges-Proskauer reaction.

CONCLUSION! Examination of the submitted stool specimen reveals a generally normal picture. Presence of Paracoli bacteria could n-t be demonstrated, though the coli bacteria show a slight decline in fernentive activity which is plainly due to the acid reaction of the specimen. Examination of individual bacteria of the aerogenes and aerobacter group shows no pathological deviation. Summary: Practically speaking, result of examination is normal. /•/(illegible) 3.

The process followed involves the use of an interferometer to determine to what degree each of the glandular secretions in Hitler’s blood serum was affected by catabolic fermentation. "Normal" destruction f glandular « secretions by fermentation is obtained from a table which has bc-en set up to provide an indication as to the sufficiency of concentration. The determination is made by preliminary calibration of the interferometer with fresh serum in both chambers: units of drum reading are used to ex-press the amount of deviation between the two beans* Then the serum in one chamber off the instrument is substituted for an equivalent amount of serum which has been incubated for 24 hours at 37r C, after the addition of a predetermined amount of standardized glandular extract (Organognos'to )• Then the two beams of the interferometer are again brought into phase. The amount of change necessary to accomplish this, again expressed in units of drum reading, indir- cates the degree to which the particular glandular secretion involved has been affected by catabolic fermentation in the blood of the patient. The operation is repeated for each glandular secretion to be investigated. Graphical representation of the findings ap’«aring on the following report have not been included because of the difficulties of reproduction. MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC INSTITUTE DR. A.
