Adolf Hitler survived an assassination attempt in 1944 with the lamp of penicillin made by the Allies, a microbiologist in the UK claims. If the Nazi leader had died from bacterial infection of his many wounds, the Second World War might have been over a year earlier, saving millions of lives, says Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield, a noted historian of microbiology.
In a paper to be published soon in Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, Wainwright reveals first-hand evidence that Hitler was treated with penicillin by his personal doctor, Theo Morrell, following an assassination attempt in which a bomb in a suitcase exploded next to Hitler’s desk. Hitler was badly hurt, fleeing the scene with his hair and trousers on fire, a badly bleeding arm and countless wooden splinter wounds from the oak table that probably saved his life.
Wainwright found confirmation that Morrell gave Hitler antibiotics as a precaution in a recent translation of Morrell’s own diary. "I happened to be reading it for interest when the word penicillin jumped out at me," he says. He then set about trying to establish where Morrell might have got the drug.
At the time, penicillin was available only to the Allies. German and Czechoslovakian teams had tried without much success to make it, Wainwright says, but the small quantities that were available were weak and impure. "It’s generally accepted that it was no good," says Wainwright.
He reasons that Morrell would only have risked giving Hitler penicillin to prevent infections if he were confident that the antibiotic would cure, not kill the German premier. "My research shows that Morrell, in a very dodgy(危险的)position as Hitler’s doctor, would only have used pure stuff." And the only reliable penicillin was that made by the Allies. So where did Morrell get it?
Wainwright’s investigations revealed that Allied airmen carried penicillin, so the Germans may have confiscated some from prisoners of war. The other more likely source is from neutral countries such Spain, which received penicillin from Allied countries for humanitarian purposes, perhaps for treating sick children.
"I have proof the Allies were sending it to these countries," says Wainwright. "I’m saying this would have got through in diplomatic bags, reaching Hitler’s doctor and the higher echelons(阶层)of the Nazi party. So this was almost certainly pure, Allied penicillin."
"We can never be certain it saved Hitler’s life," says Wainwright. But he notes that one of Hitler’s henchmen(死党), Reinhard Heydrich, died from blood poisoning after surviving a car-bomb assassination attempt. "Hair from his seat went into his wounds and gave him septicemia," says Wainwright. Morrell may have been anxious to ensure that Hitler avoided the same fate.
Following his assassination in 1944, Adolf Hitler______.
选项
A、began to exercise precautions against his personal attacks
B、was anxious to have penicillin developed in his country
C、received an injection of penicillin for blood poisoning
D、was suspected of being likely to get infected
答案
D
解析
细节题。利用题干关键词following an assassination 1944可以定位到文章的第二段,意为“在一期名为《生物学和医学展望》的杂志上,温莱特披露了一手资料,证明在经历过一次暗杀后,希特勒的私人医生Theo Morrel对其用青霉素进行了治疗。”C“接受青霉素的注射来防止血液中毒”中“防止血液中毒”并未提及。而下一段说到“Wainwright在研究中发现Morrell在他的日记中写到,他给希特勒用了抗菌素作为预防”,可知这只是一种预防措施,只能是被怀疑被感染过,所以正确答案为D。
