The news under the jodhpurs keeps getting worse for Adolf Hitler.

Just two months after a medical report confirmed that Hitler actually did have only one testicle, confirming a 1939 ditty, a new book reveals that the leader of the Third Reich suffered from a condition that left him with a micropenis.

In the book "Hitler's Last Day: Minute by Minute," historians Jonathan Mayo and Emma Craigie say they researched medical records that they claim confirm that the German dictator had a rare genital deformity called penile hypospadias.

In the condition, the urethra opening is located on the under side of the penis.

Hitler had to urinate from a hole at the base of his abnormally small shaft, instead of the tip. It must have made using a urinal a challenge.

The embarrassing details of his genitalia may explain somewhat why Hitler was supposedly afraid of being seen naked. Certainly they will do nothing to curb speculation about his sex life.

Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw said Hitler's love life was "fairly nonexistent," but because he was afraid of catching an infection. But German biographer Heike Gortemaker argues that the fuhrer enjoyed healthy sexual relations with Eva Braun.

Some will say Hitler compensated for his underwhelming manhood by erupting into tantrums and invading Poland, but of course there's no proof that his mid-life crises had anything to do with his anatomy.

Still, he rode in a Mercedes and kept a Porsche (automotive pioneer Ferdinand Porsche) on the payroll.
