In both 2008 and 2015, news media reported widely on supposed new evidence proving that Hitler had lost a testicle in WWI. But this claim goes back many decades. Was this ever supported by evidence, or does this all trace back to a bawdy barrack-room ditty to raise morale? NSFW

Stirrups may not have revolutionised Western European cavalry warfare, or by extension society, but did they end up having a significant impact on steppe societies?
