A handwritten postcard from Hitler to a comrade has revealed that that he had lied about going to the dentist.
The postcard claims that the former Chancellor of Germany had 19 teeth extracted, but he hated the dentist and it is known he had just 15 teeth out in his entire lifetime, the Daily Express reported.
The card, which was written to a fellow soldier called Karl Lanzhammer in France, is currently owned by a collector in Munich and has been authenticated by a history professor.
It is dated December 21 1916 and has a picture of Berlin's Landwehr Canal on the front and bears the stamp of the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment.
