Hitler's terrible table manners

This made me laugh - I don't know why:

Adolf Hitler's terrible table manners: Nazi leader stuffed himself on cake and constantly broke wind! - Bild.de

Adolf Hitler had a terrible problem with wind made worse by his habit of constantly stuffing himself with cake, new papers have revealed.

The leader's other bad manners included biting his nails.

A high-ranking Nazi officer - who shared a bunker with Hitler - revealed the Fuhrer's disgusting eating habits to a British agent when he was taken prisoner during the Second World War.

The agent's dossier, dating from May 1945, is inscribed with the words: "This summary must be destroyed within 48 hours."

But it was found in a house in South West England recently after a clean up.

The officer said that it was the Fuhrer's passion for "prodigious amounts" of cake that was "responsible for a slight digestive disorder and the addition of a bay window to his already not too fortunate figure".

Hitler's lack of manners was also recorded, 'The Sun' revealed: “Hitler eats rapidly, mechanically. For him food is merely an indispensable means of subsistence. At the table and in his speech he shows many facets of rather uncouth behaviour.

"He abstractedly bites his fingernails, he runs his index finger back and forth under his nose, and his table manners are little short of shocking."

The POW defended rumours that the Nazi leader was gay: "The rumours about his homosexuality and other abnormal obsessions were rumours and nothing more.

"If there was any such streak in him, it was a touch of passive masochism in his relationship with women."

Hitler often returned to his private rooms with women he was interested in after eating - but he was said to be "shy" around the fairer sex.

The document which suggests Hitler broke wind, found more than 60 years after it was written, will be put up for auction in Ludlow, England on March 5. Auctioneer Richard West-Brookes thinks that the "highly important document" will fetch more than ₤1,000, or €1,130.

You'd have gas too if you did all this ... don't think it was just the cake !!!

For example, to combat recurrences of the volcanic stomach problems, Morell plied him with a remedy called “Dr. Köster’s Anti-gas pills,” which contained significant amounts of strychnine – and Hitler often took as many as 16 of the little black pills a day. The sallow skin, glaucous eyes and attention lapses noted by observers later in the war are consistent with strychnine poisoning; another ingredient in the pills, antropine, causes mood wings from euphoria to violent anger. Even more peculiar were the injections of amphetamines that Morell administered every morning before breakfast from 1941, which may have exacerbated the erratic behavior, inflexibility, paranoia and indecision that Hitler began to display increasingly as the war ground on. And there was a barrage of other supplements -- vitamins, testosterone, liver extracts, laxatives, sedatives, glucose and opiates, all intended to combat the dictator’s real or imagined ailments. After the war, U.S. intelligence officers discovered that Morell was pumping Hitler with 28 different drugs, including eye-drops that contained 10 percent cocaine (up to 10 treatment a day), a concoction made from human placenta and “potency pills” made from ground bull’s testicles. But despite the barrage of medicines, Morell’s diaries (which were recovered from Germany and are kept in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.) make clear that the bouts of “agonizing flatulence” remained a regular occurrence.
