Berlin bunker mate says Hitler faced Parkinsons disease and heart disease
Chicago AP reports Adolf Hitler likely died from heart disease and Parkinson’s before he killed himself in 1945. Dr. Ernst Gunther Schenck, present at Hitler’s last consultation, says Hitler showed advanced illness and was not a drug addict, though he used many injections. Schenck’s analysis relies on Morell’s medical records and contrasts with earlier claims of toxic amphetamine reactions.
