““It became impossible for me to sit still one minute more,” Hitler recalled. “Again everything went black before my eyes; I tottered and groped my way back to the dormitory, threw myself on my bunk, and dug my burning head into my blankets and pillow.” The shock of defeat had blinded him again. A Berlin psychiatrist who treated Hitler, Dr. Edmund Forster, concluded that his blindness had returned because the patient was “a psychopath with hysterical symptoms.””
