I Was Hitler's Doctor
New York: Biltmore Publishing Co. Inc., (1943). Hardcover with Dust Jacket. 8vo. Pp. xxiv, 25-322. Bound in full green cloth with black lettering stamped on spine. Fore-edge untrimmed. Very slight age-toning to leaves. In the illustrated dust jacket, which is defective: large chip on rear panel, rear flap nearly detached, old cello tape repairs on verso. Dust jacket is now enclosed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. Near Fine / Poor. Item #6211 The dust jacket designed by Irving Politzer captures the sensational-exploitative nature of the psychoanalytic study of Hitler's worldview, with special focus on his sexual inclinations.
A propaganda piece, published at the height of WWII, intended to belittle Hitler and warn the world of his Caesar-complex. Includes frank accounts of his sex life, peccadilloes, experiences with impotence and syphilis, his attraction to Jewish prostitutes, etc. We are uncertain whether the book addresses Hitler's purported monorchism, memorialized in the WWII British military song, "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball."
