Excerpts

Starting in the early 1930s, Adolf Hitler began experiencing episodes of sharp, cramping pain in his right upper abdomen. The pain appeared shortly after meals, and when it did, Hitler would usually leave the room. Sometimes he returned `after the spasm had passed', as Albert Speer described it, and sometimes he did not return at all. `After every meal the pain begins!'
