Wah Kent: A symbol of fear for his enemies, Hitler himself was deeply afraid, according to recently published letters.

According to records, the 46-year-old patient Adolf Moller, the owner of a prominent moustache equal to two fingers above his lips, was actually Adolf Hitler. 62-year-old physician Dr. Von Eicken had the opportunity to change the history of the world, but he decided to perform his duties as a physician.

Many books have covered Hitler's health and drug use, but surprisingly the centre of his power, his voice, has been overlooked. His voice became heavy from 1935 due to continuous speeches, which attracted the attention of the public.

 

Hitler was able to give very eloquent and eloquent speeches in the German language. But deep inside, he was deeply afraid that he might lose his precious voice due to throat cancer. Carl Otto Von Eicken was the man who gave him back his voice.

Dr. Carl Otto von Aken's great-grandson, Robert Doepgen, a 21-year-old university student who grew up in Basel, Switzerland, said, "It is a matter of great pride for me that someone from my family made history by treating Hitler.” This was revealed to Robert Dopgen when his grammar teacher mentioned Hitler's personal physician, Theodor Morell.

He decided to research his family and find out what his great-grandfather, Dr. Karl Otto von Eyken, who was one of Hitler's personal physicians, knew about Hitler's cruelty, brutality, and oppressive personality. The question that arose in his mind was whether Dr. Aiken should have done anything outside of his professional duties. Ultimately, we are not only responsible for what we do, but also for what we fail to do.

Von Eken's great-grandson, with the help of his mother, collected all the previously unpublished letters in which the doctor proudly recounted his frequent meetings with Hitler. Dr. Von Aken developed a longer and closer relationship with Hitler than anyone else.

For this purpose, he also put his professional future at stake. He would bend down and examine her throat, but would turn his eyes away from this idol of racial discrimination and pride. Van Aken came from a middle-class family. He received education and training in ear, nose and throat treatment from Keil, Germany. According to Robert Dopgen, Dr. Von Aken saw four political periods in Germany and maintained relations with all four ruling classes.

In the letters, Robert Dope found a summary of the operation's prescriptions and a full account of his family, but he could not find a single word written by Dr. Van Eken about the international situation, the deprivations and sufferings of the people. He was supposed to be an apolitical person.

Robert Dopgen commented that Dr. Van Eken appeared to have completely closed his eyes to the circumstances surrounding him. Maybe that's what he could do. As an Aryan he was very fortunate. This was also his identity in the papers. He was among the victors on all sides.

Dr. Carl von Aiken was appointed to the famous University Hospital of Berlin Charite in 1922. He lived in an expensive apartment on Kurfurstendamm with his wife and 9 children. After that Dahlem moved to a large bungalow near Dahlem and in time he became known internationally as a luminary. In 1928, he also treated Afghan ruler Amanullah for an enlarged throat. What did

As soon as Hitler came to power, his theory of German racial superiority began to circulate in hospitals.

In 1939, he began a program to exterminate the incurable, physically and mentally disabled, mentally ill, and elderly people who were considered a burden on the state treasury under the Euthanasia T4 program, labeled Parasites of the German People. About 25,000 people were secretly massacred under this program. Apart from this, millions of Jews were massacred until the defeat of the Nazi army in 1945.

 

The former president of the German Medical Association, Jorg Dietrich Hoppe, commented on the participation of doctors in the T4 program, saying that such a large number of massacres would not have been possible without the consent of German doctors. He said that doctors were cowards and opportunists and that a large number of them were guilty of silence and acquiescence in the face of oppression and deserved punishment in the truest sense.

According to Robert Dopgen and his mother, Dr. Von Aken joined the Nazi Medical Association very late, on February 20, 1942, so it cannot be said with certainty that he was a racist Hitler sympathizer. . But the papers listed his name as a member of the NSDAP National Socialist German Workers' Party. George Dietrich Hope also mentions the suspension or sudden disappearance of many of his Jewish medical colleagues, and how Darwin's idealised breeding superseded doctors' oaths to be free from prejudice. Raised to serve humanity. Dr. Von Aken served not humanity but the "Führer" but did he have any other choice?

Hitler's assistants and loyal associates, after carefully assessing Dr. Van Aiken's political commitment, allowed him to stab Führer Hitler in the throat with the sharp blade of his medical instrument. In personal letters to his cousin, Dr. von Aiken said that Hitler's vocal cords were first examined on May 15, 1935, when he felt a thorn in his throat when he swallowed. At that time the Führer was convinced that he was seriously ill. "If something is wrong or bad, he needs to know about himself," he told the doctor.

Dr. von Aiken wrote down conversations between himself and Hitler that show how Hitler bowed to his medical advice, and the doctor stayed with him for the next ten years.

Hitler: "When can you start treatment?"

Aiken: "As soon as you order, immediately."

Hitler: “I have a big speech to make. I will postpone it for a few days. "

Dr. Aiken: "After the treatment in these cases, you must give your vocal cords complete rest for a few days."

 

Hitler: "Then you can treat me only after my speech."

It is possible that the doctor exaggerated the conversations between himself and Hitler simply to impress his cousin. But it is a fact that Hitler was very satisfied with Dr. von Ecken's treatment. The Führer was overjoyed after the successful operation on Hitler's vocal cords. He patted the doctor's thigh happily. Dr. von Aiken wrote to his cousin that he treated Hitler until his death after the end of World War II.

After the end of the war, the American intelligence agency asked Dr. Aiken what his opinion was about National Socialism, and he replied: "I saw very terrible attacks on the Jews."

 

Hitler was well aware of the power of his voice which he used early in his political journey to rally the masses. He reached the heights of greatness thanks to his voice. Aberdeen history professor Thomas Weber observed Hitler's rapid rise to power from a young age. Thomas Weber said that Hitler was an actor. Although he was insecure from within, he used to grace the stage and gather people around him, maintaining confidence with his voice. People used to come from far and wide to hear his address.

Addressing the public directly to achieve political goals is a nobler and more productive practice than writing high-profile texts. Hitler himself wrote in his provocative book Mein Kampf (My Struggle), "I believe that every great movement in the world owes as much to a great orator as to a good writer."

Dr. Anja busse says that voice is a reflection of personality. Accordingly, Hitler's voice was piercing and warning. In front of public gatherings, he used to shout from the throat instead of the centre of his body.

 

It is no wonder that his rich voice captivated the masses. He would signal his message to the public at the end of his short sentences with the ups and downs of his voice. The intensity of his heart-wrenching words was felt by all, and his scowl was authentic. He would have succeeded in instilling a certain emotion in the people. That is why he never wanted to lose his voice. He always had Dr. Van Aken with him. On July 20, 1944, when Hitler was assassinated by a bomb, the sound of the explosion ruptured his eardrums. Even on this occasion, Dr. Van Eken was called to treat him. He wrote to his cousin on January 5, 1945 that he had treated Hitler for physical and mental ailments.

Hitler had a great fear of dying prematurely, so he was always surrounded by many medical experts. Hitler openly admits that he has full confidence in his ENT Dr. Aiken that only he can save him.

On November 22, 1944, his vocal cord was removed. A month later, Dr. von Ecken arrived to meet Hitler at his headquarters "Eagle's Nest". He was pleasantly surprised to see how much better he was physically. Von Ecken detailed in the letter that Hitler walks in the fresh air and now sleeps better. He used to talk about Hitler in an affectionate way as if he were talking about a child. At the end of the letter, he expressed his happiness and wrote that he is now fully recovered.

 

30In April 1945, Hitler committed suicide and when his cremated body was seized to confirm his death, his teeth were presented to his ENT Dr. von Eyken to confirm that they were indeed teeth. It was Hitler's. But he suggested that the matter be referred to Hitler's old personal dentist. Thus ended Van Aken's years-old relationship with Hitler.

After the end of World War II, American and Russian interrogators asked Dr. Ivan Aiken if he had the opportunity to eliminate Hitler, but why didn't he do it? In response to this question, Dr. Von Eken said, "I was his physician, not the murderer." Even after that, whenever the subject of Hitler was discussed, his answer was always the same.

Van Eken's great-grandson, Robert Doepgen, compiled a summary of the lives of his ancestors. He repeatedly asked himself the same question, "What would have happened if Dr. von Ecken had not removed Hitler's gland polyp and cut the entire oesophagus with his surgical blade?" Ultimately, there are only a few people who change the history of the world.” But it was not that simple.

That's what Robert Dopjan asked his relatives at one of his family gatherings, but everyone remained silent. He didn't even want to mention the old war stories lest the fun of the ceremony be soured. This staff of doctors also remained silent in response to the question, thanks to which Hitler was able to walk again.

British historian Richard Evan has also confirmed the authenticity of Dr. Van Evan's letters. He said that these facts are known. It is a fact that Hitler had two vocal cord operations due to overwork. These letters confirm that Hitler was suffering from a terrible throat cancer scare. Before this, the German Kaiser Friedrich Schweim (Friedrich III) had died of throat cancer in 1888.

This was sitting in some corner of Hitler's mind. After his first throat operation in 1935, when he learned that he was not suffering from cancer, he breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, Dr. Von Aken did not mention the rash on Hitler's left hand in his letters. After 1944, he rarely spoke in public. In the last period, his voice could hardly be used to support his power. He would usually begin his speech quietly and gradually increase the intensity of emotion in his voice. In his famous speeches at the party congress in 1934, he only ranted and ranted.

Hitler had a strong emotional impact on his audience. This was the era when radio was very important. But public speaking was more important and effective. At that time, Hitler was able to address more than forty thousand people per day. In the months of June and July of 1932, he gave speeches two to three times a day.

It is also interesting that after 1930, he started openly expressing his intention to dominate the world. Swiss historian Jorg Fisch says that Hitler wanted to rule the whole world with a sense of racial superiority through his speeches. After January 1933, he continued to express the same views. He knew that his speeches were listened to with rapt attention even outside Germany.

One hundred years ago today, the world recognized Hitler's art of speech. His style was completely different from others. High-ranking Nazi Party officials such as Julius Streicher simply shouted, while Hitler knew when to raise and lower his voice and when to pause and accelerate during a speech.

Dr. Van Aken was not a political figure. He was merely an educated man, while Hitler was the star of an elected democratic government and the wielder of absolute power. In the streets of Germany, people used to greet each other by saying 'Heil Hitler'. Hitler was ahead of all people. People were ready to give their lives for it. Dr. Van Aken also had great respect for him.

It was a source of pride for him that he was chosen to treat Hitler. How strange that a man who cared so much about Hitler's voice but never had ears to hear that the world called him a butcher.

It is also worth noting that most of the medical experts and physicians were enthusiastic National Socialists. Some people from every school of thought and every walk of life in Germany were the worst enemies of the Jews. Dr. Van Aken was one of them.
