Adolf Hitler is making headlines once again as new claims about his stunted sexuality and possible meth addiction have come to the fore.
According to The Telegraph (UK), novelist Martin Amis spoke Saturday at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, where he introduced his new Holocaust novel, "The Zone of Interest," and posited that historians have not yet fully understood Hitler because they hadn't delved deep enough into the nature of his sexual expression.
"No-one understands Hitler. No-one understands what he was up to. And I don't want to be reductive here or simplistic or frivolous, but I'm convinced that one of the reasons why we don't recognize Hitler is that he's sexually a void," he said to the gathered crowd.
"I would hazard this is how it went with Hitler and [his wife] Eva: ... I imagine Eva would stand a good distance away and lift her skirt and then there would be some sort of soggy climax on Hitler’s part and that would be that."
Amis' theory, a disturbingly detailed one, was apparently not gleaned from any particular form of original or breakthrough research, but was born of inductive reasoning.
"There are no real clues about his sexuality — except that he wouldn’t take his clothes off, even for his physician and he was almost fanatical about cleanliness, which suggests to me asexuality," Amis announced.
"With Stalin or Mao there is clear pattern of seigniorial behavior — of having a big appetite — but with Hitler there is absolutely nothing . . . Can you consider Hitler’s tender foreplay, a considerate and energetic lover? No, you can’t begin to imagine that."

The Daily Mail claimed to have gotten hold of a "47-page wartime dossier compiled by American Military Intelligence" showing that Hitler took a form of methamphetamine at least twice during WWII.
An American collector who discovered the dossier, Bill Panagopoulos, said that Hitler's doctor, Theodor Morell, gave the furor Pervitin, a pill containing meth. Hitler apparently took the pill before his famous meeting with Italian leader Benito Mussolini in the summer of 1943, which launched him into a two-hour rant.
Later, in the end days of the war, Hitler purportedly had nine injections of a drug called Vitamultin, which also contained methamphetamine, during his final days in the bunker.
