It seems that Hitler was, in fact, more like Göring, or Himmler. From the Times:

In May 1945, Allied soldiers wandered through Adolf Hitler’s Führerbunker in grim fascination, but one of them spotted a macabre opportunity.

Colonel Roswell P Rosengren of the US army, one of General Eisenhower’s press officers, fixed his eye on the sofa where the Nazi dictator had taken his own life.

He cut a piece of the blood-stained cloth and carried it home.

Eighty years on, that grisly memento has allowed scientists to do something extraordinary: they have sequenced Hitler’s DNA.

And…

The research is due to be published in a scientific journal, but the key finding is this: Hitler had Kallmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that hinders the normal progression of puberty and the development of sexual organs.

Apparently Kallmann syndrome typically leads to a lack of testicle development in men.
