Not as far as we know. There are many, many books on Hitler’s sex life, and it’s a very dark area. He had a girlfriend after Geli died, of course, Eva Braun. But he was married to the German people. He got that from Karl Lueger. Karl Lueger never married because the women adored him.
Not on Hitler, but I know the IQ of all those at Nuremberg, because actually a Jewish psychologist, actually he performed IQ tests, not EQ tests. Wendy and I have often discussed this. EQ is far more important than IQ. Empathy. He obviously had no empathy whatsoever. I would imagine he was actually quite clever intellectually.
It’s a complicated story. There’ve been documentaries on it. There are books on it.
