TRANSCRIPT:
I’ve been thinking a lot about Napoleon’s Penis.
Recently, when visiting Napoleon’s tomb in Paris, a massive granite sarcophagus inside an imposing dome, I couldn’t stop thinking about how even in death, he was probably compensating for something. Which brought me to the little fact that in front of me wasn’t all of the Little Corporal…
You see, after his invasion of Russia, Napoleon hadn’t made himself very popular in Europe - and it wasn’t long until he was removed from power. After regaining the throne in France, Louis the 18th, sent the Emperor Napoleon into Exile on a small island not too far off the coast of Italy, called Elba.
In the span of 100 days, Napoleon escaped the island, made his way back into France, rallied the French Army back to his side, sent Louis running, and was defeated once again by the rest of Europe at Waterloo.
This time, they weren’t messing around and the English banished Napoleon to an island in the middle of the Atlantic called St Helena, where he would stay until his death in 1821 under circumstances that are still up for debate.
This is where the story gets weird. While preparing the body for burial, the French doctor Francesco Autommarchi decides to take some souvenirs. He pockets a rib and in one of the most infamous moments in medical history, decides to take the penis
How can we be sure? There were 17 witnesses in the room watching him do this.
The rest of Napoleon is buried on St Helena. The English, having no agreement on what to call him, mark the grave, “Here Lies...” He is eventually moved to Paris and even though he wanted to be buried by the river, his body is displayed for all to see in a cathedral. Which H*tler will visit during World War II, But that’s another story.
Back to the penis. The French doctor gifts the penis to the Emperor’s Chaplain, Abbe Ange Vignali. He takes the Penis to Corsica, but he’s killed in a blood vendetta. Still, the member will stay with his family for over 100 years. This must have made for some interesting last will and testaments.
The Penis would pass through several hands before 1924, when it ends up in the possession of a London book seller and cataloged in a very English discreet manner as "a mummified tendon.” He sells it to an English collector, ASW Rosenbach for 400 pounds who brings it with him to Philadelphia, US of A. In 1927, the penis would be displayed at The French Art Museum in New York. Newspaper critics of the time were unimpressed.
By 1969, the Museum is strapped for cash and returns the Penis home to Paris for auction. However, the French aren’t too keen and It does not sell. The French government were even offered the Penis, but they wanted nothing to do with it.
8 years later, it is finally bought by Dr. John K Lattimer, one of the most renowned American Urologists for $3,000. Dr. Lattimer was THE urologist for N*zi’s at the Nuremberg trials, worked on the autopsy of John F Kennedy (I assume as a Urologist?), from which he kept a piece of the upholstery of the car JFK was shot in. He also had procured the bloodstained collar of Abraham Lincoln.
So what happened to the penis? You might think “this deserves to be in a museum…” No. Dr. Lattimer brought it back to his home in New Jersey, where his family still have it, in a box. X-rays have confirmed that it is indeed, well, a penis.
The French, of course, deny this entire story.
Oh and fact: it’s one and a half inches. *mummified

Funny , the guy scarred the Brits so much that almost 200 years after his death they (and by extansion the anglo-saxon world) still try to mock him... This is a stupid story: yes there were 17 people who assisted to Napoleon's autopsy (among them Napoleon's companions and servants and 7 British doctors), stangely NOBODY reported seeing doctor Antommarchi removed this "important" part of a man (see Count Bertand or Louis Marchand's memoirs). In his memoirs, Ali, the mameluk, tells that Antommarchi removed a little piece of a rib, but that's all. These three men were the very trusted Napoleon's companion and servants; they certainly would not have allowed this "operation"!

He beats the shit out of Europe alone. He barely lost at Waterloo. Who's taking about Wellington ? Few people. Who's talking about Napoléon since 2 centuries. Everybody. Vive l'empereur !

[@Belisarius536]

i’m a big fan of napoleon but he was soundly beaten at waterloo. Even with arriving early he failed to win the day when Wellington was out the night before drinking at a soirée. The towns that his forces held were flattened which was where actually most of the fighting happened near waterloo and he made critical mistakes in making manoeuvres before learning the outcome of skirmishes that he actually thought he had won. Prussian reinforcements routed his army in a retreat of whom he mistakingly thought was one of his lieutenants. He even was in the range of fire at points of the battle. The rest of the towns were the french forces held surrendered without a fight and some were slaughtered. His army was of conscripts of young men pulled from their homes who had no morale to fight. He lost a lot of french colonies in the Caribbean and overseas to focus on colonising europe instead. Which is a ludicrous idea. on campaign he wouldn’t even feed his men they would have to forage. He Ultimately he lost all his campaigns and was a product of an old thinking believing in being a dominant power in europe while the rest of the nations were in a pact of non aggression and were scrambling for Africa. His daring and his speed were his strengths, he would march 30miles in a day and arrive at the door before critical decisions could be made. He had amazing victories but one could argue against another cunning power he didn’t stand much of a chance regardless of him always outnumbering who he was fighting.

[@MegaTamer111]

It isn't a true story. In the french account of Napoleons final days, it makes no mention of the penis being removed but only in the English translation does this pop up. So most likely propaganda or just a story blown out of proportion and every sucker since has thought they've had possession of Napoleon's penis.
