Joseph Goebbels was Hitlers chief minister of proganda for the Nazi’s. He was thought to have had a clubfoot that he went to great lengths to hide so not to undermine the so-called superiority of the Aryan race and their genetic purity.
There are several postulated theories as to the nature of Goebbels’ clubfoot, but the most likely explanation is that it developed as the result of a contracture following an infection. It was thought not be be the typical common idiopathic clubfoot that is present at birth.
