Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la OSS aprobó sobornar a un jardinero de la huerta de la residencia alpina de Hitler para introducir estrógeno en sus zanahorias, de manera de feminizarlo y volverlo menos agresivo. “La esperanza era que se le cayera el bigote y su voz se volviera de soprano”, según Stanley Lovell, jefe de investigación de la OSS. El estrógeno es insípido y de efecto lento, por lo que no sería detectado por catadores. “Como sobrevivió, solo puedo suponer que el jardinero tomó nuestro dinero y arrojó las jeringas y los medicamentos al matorral más cercano”.

My favorite attack on Adolf Hitler was a glandular approach. America’s top diagnosticians and gland experts agreed with me that he was definitely close to the male-female line. His poor emotional control, his violent passions, his selection of companions like Röhm, all led me to feel that a push to the female side might do wonders. The hope was that his moustache would fall off and his voice become soprano.

Hitler was a vegetarian. At Berchtesgaden, the vegetable garden that supplied his melodramatic Eagle’s Nest on the rocky peak had to have gardeners. A plan to get an O.S.S. man there, or an anti-Nazi workman, was approved. I supplied female sex hormones and, just for variety’s sake, now and then a carbamate or other quietus medication, all to be injected into der Führer’s carrots, beets or whatever went up to his larder.

Since he survived, I can only assume that the gardener took our money and threw the syringes and medications into the nearest thicket. Either that or Hitler had a big turnover in his “tasters”.
