Der Fuehrerweiblichmachenplan! Or, Mein Fuehrer, nicht be a girly man.
You can't make this shit up!
As I have said before in this space, we are awash in baloney. Fake history is much more common than the real thing, much more. So while acknowledging that I am giving this garbage much more attention than it deserves, let's take a closer look.
I have several points: Why would changing Hitler's sex necessarily change his political position? There is a rather large presupposition here. History is full of female heads of state who acted rurthlessly, and these were real women, not estrogenized men. Army records confirm that Hitler had only one testicle; he was effeminate; and his best friends early on in his political career were all gay. Some of his army mates tell stories of discovering Hitler and his "whore," a man named Schmiedl (or something like that), inflagrante delecto, as they say. This new business of turning him into a woman follows upon the theory that he already pretty much was one in his low-testosterone state.
The story claims that they had British spies close to Hitler who could have put the estrogen in his food. First, it wasn't until the end of the war that the Western Allies had any interest in killing Hitler. They sat out the war in Europe for years to give the Nazis a chance to topple the Bolsheviks. It was only after Stalingrad that the Western Allies condescended to engage the enemy on D-Day.
Second, if they had people so close and they wanted to neutralize him, they could certainly have come up with something better than this nonsense. Nobody is going to jeopardize an agent who is that close to the subject that they could poison him repeatedly with a plan as likely to fail as this one. There is the risk of detection and the subsequent loss of a highly infiltrated mole; and if the poisoner does manage to execute the plan, there's no guarantee that it would have the desired effect. There is zero chance that this was ever seriously contemplated.
I could go on but why bother...
