JAKARTA - Famous as one of the leaders with speeches that can inflame the spirits of his followers, Adolf Hitler was very concerned about his voice, to the point of delaying polyp surgery after the speech.
This is revealed in the letter of the specialist who treated him, treating the voice of the leader, reports the Swiss-based newspaper, which was revealed by one of his descendants.
A relative of one of Hitler's doctors living in the country released a detailed letter revealing the importance of the issue of vote, according to the newspaper NZZ am Sonntag.
Hitler is known to have been treated several times by Carl Otto von Eicken, a German ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist, over the 10 years since 1935, the newspaper said.
Letters from doctors to cousins were discovered by Robert Doepgen, von Eicken's great-grandson, who found them while researching the family archives for a school project. Von Eicken himself died in 1960.
British historian Richard J Evans, a specialist in German history, vouched for the authenticity of the unpublished letters, the newspaper reported.
From the letters it was known, Adolf Hitler was afraid of a serious illness, the newspaper said.
"If something is bad, I really need to know," Hitler told doctors after their first consultation in May 1935, according to the letter.
The paper also said the letters also showed the importance Hitler attached to his voice, which he used in speeches to garner support for his regime.
From the letter it is known, an operation to remove the polyp was postponed until after the speech. Previously, von Eicken suggested to Adolf Hitler, he should rest his voice after surgery.
In his letter, von Eicken never questioned whether he treated a man whose actions caused millions to be killed in the Holocaust and World War Two, the paper said.
The newspaper said that when asked by Russian interrogators after the war why he didn't kill Hitler, von Eicken said: "I am the doctor, not the killer."
To note, Adolf Hitler died by suicide in a bunker in Berlin in 1945, shortly before the end of World War II ended.
