On a Canadian News Magazine on TV about a couple of decades ago, a German curator of a Hitler Museum claimed that he lost it trying to impress a Jewish girl of means who eventually dumped him rather than loose the family's money. This is after her brothers had beat the living hell out of him, he joined the military to learn how to defend himself and raise his status in life, and in full military uniform tried to show off for her by walking an old fashioned pole fence like a tightrope to make her laugh and ignore another suitor. He slipped and fell, straddling the long pole used to make the fence loosing, or causing an injury that soon after contributed to the loss of his testicle. Mind you I have also in the intervening years have read that this, while for a time believed to be academically true, was vastly altered to act as a justification for why Hitler had such hatred of the Jewish People, but it never mentioned how it was changed from fact. I should also add that this is to the best of my memory and I can have several of the facts surrounding the source of the story wrong, but I am confident on the content of the story told by the curator is as he told it.
