Handwritten proof that Adolf Hitler was lying through his teeth #CarryGobySeanKellz #FutureGroupNG via @i_amreginaldjr

A POSTCARD sent by Adolf Hitler during the First World War, in which he claimed he had just had 19 teeth extracted, has been discovered.

The future Nazi leader, then a ­German army private, wrote to a ­comrade: “You can’t imagine how nice I looked. Now I’m better.”

Hitler’s friend was a fellow soldier called Karl Lanzhammer, who was stationed in France.

The card, owned by a collector in Munich, has been authenticated by history professor Ludwig Eiber.

The postcard is written in his handwriting and signed by him

It is dated December 21 1916. On the front is a picture of Berlin’s Landwehr Canal and the card bears the stamp of the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment, Hitler’s unit at the time.

“The postcard is written in his handwriting and signed by him,” said Professor Eiber, of Augsburg. “There is no doubt that it is genuine.”

Hitler is known to have been in Munich at the time the card was sent, recovering from a wound. He was hit in the thigh by a grenade splinter during fighting on the Western Front.

 

He tells the pal: “Would that I could be back with you. Unfortunately there is no chance of me coming back to the Front, at least not right now.”

Hitler probably lied on the card. He hated the dentist and it is known he had 15 teeth out in his entire lifetime.

Another card he sent to Lanzhammer, who was later killed while training to be a pilot, was found in 2012.
