Had fillings made from gold torn from the mouths of Jews in concentration camps, claims a new book

The theory is based on a newly discovered document that shows Hitler's dentist had about 11lbs of dental gold from the concentration camps at his disposal for the treatment of senior Nazis.

10 gold fillings

Co-author Henrik Eberle, a historian who has written several successful books on the Nazi leader, said dentist Hugo Blaschke had put 10 fillings in Hitler's mouth in 1944.

"The most likely place the gold came from is from the supply Blaschke had from the concentration camps," Dr Eberle told the Daily Telegraph.

"Most of this came from Jews. Gold from other sources was very hard to find in Germany and that is why I believe that Hitler's fillings came from Jewish victims of the Nazis."

It is well established that the Nazis removed gold teeth and fillings from their concentration camp victims.

The new document is a 1941 letter from one of Blaschke's underlings to the office of SS commander Heinrich Himmler. It states that Blaschke had 50 kilograms of dental gold enough to last for years.

Nazi dentist

Blaschke was also the personal dentist to Luftwaffe commander Hermann Gu00f6ring and other senior Nazis.

The new book, titled Was Hitler Ill?, and co-authored by Hans-Joachim Neumann, a professor of medicine at Berlin's Charite University, also dismisses popular rumours about Hitler: that he may have had Jewish ancestry, that he was beaten by his father, and that he had a long term drug addiction.

Gold Rush

Once all the victims inside a gas chamber had been killed, the hydrogen cyanide gas was then pumped out, the bodies were removed and gold fillings in their teeth were extracted with pliers by dentist prisoners.

The work was done by the Sonderkommando prisoners, Jews who hoped to buy themselves a few extra months of life.

When they had finished with the bodies, the SS conducted spot checks to make sure all the gold had been removed from the victims' mouths.

If a check revealed that gold had been missed, the prisoner responsible was thrown into the furnace alive as punishment.
