Puh-Lease! What are you, some kind of “Doctor for dead people?”
wink wink
I don’t know whether there was any brain damage.
However he was the first Hohenzollern prince ever to attend public school at least part of the time. The whole idea wasn’t really a success for various reasons but it is well-documented that he was an average to mediocre student at a top-of-the-line school - nothing impressive but certainly not significantly mentally deficient either.
No, I’m relying on reports from the doctors who attended his birth. His attitudes were NOT a sign of a brain injury-however, it could have been an explanation. The guy wasn’t evil so much as he simply had some serious issues and a disastrous upbringing.
And like I said, had his father lived, who knows how the course of history would have turned out?
