ill Hitler Stayed Here

Beelitz Heilstätten

Terrifying derelict military hospital once housed a recuperating Hitler.


During the first world war it served as a field hospital that treated the earliest casualties of such new weapons as machine guns and mustard gas. During this time it also treated a young soldier by the name of Adolf Hitler, who had been blinded by a British gas attack and wounded in the leg at the Battle of the Somme (This earned him the Iron Cross).

I have seen other accounts of Hitler's recuperation which indicate that he was hospitalized at Pasewalk, Pomerania.  Were there more than one hospital involved?  I have searched for a field hospital in Pasewalk, without success.

Hitler was 1918 in a reserve hospital in Pasewalk. He had suffered a slight mustard gas poisoning towards the end of the First World War and was temporarily blind. In Pasewalk he was treated by a psychiatrist (Marinepsychiater Professor Edmund Forster, died 1933) with hypnosis.

The historian Bernhard Horstmann put forward the thesis that this treatment had a lasting effect on Hitler's personality. The cure of blindness was for him a "world-changing event"; since then he has been chosen. In addition, the psychiatrist did not shut down the hypnosis professionally, so that Hitler had been under posthypnotic influence all his life.

It is believed that Forster was driven into suicide by the National Socialists in 1933, because he had as a witness insider knowledge about Hitler, which should be suppressed.

The knowledge of Hitler's stay in Pasewalk was explosiv. The former Chancellor Kurt Ferdinand Friedrich Hermann von Schleicher and Major General of the Reichswehr Ferdinand von Bredow procured Hitler's military medical record in the late 1920s. In the course of the "Röhm Putsch" in late June / early July 1934 both were liquidated. It is conceivable that traces should be blurred here.

The reserve hospital is no longer existent and is said to have been located here in Pasewalk (unconfirmed).
