London - A postcard sent during the First World War by Adolf Hitler after a visit to the dentist – in which he claimed to have had 19 teeth removed – has turned up in Munich.
“You can’t imagine how nice I looked,” he wrote to a friend called Karl Lanzhammer. “Now I’m better.”
The card – which has been authenticated – is dated December 21, 1916 and features a picture of Berlin’s Landwehr Canal.
Hitler suffered numerous problems with his teeth. He was known to hate the dentist. Research has proved he had 15 teeth removed in his lifetime, but not all at the same time. - Daily Mail
