Why was Kaiser Wilhelm II born with an infected arm?
Kaiser Wilhelm's arm was not infected, it was deformed. His left arm was smaller than the right with nerve damage that made it useless for many normal activities. The most widespread belief is that this resulted from complications at birth. During delivery, the survival of the infant and mother were both endangered by the position of the infant Wilhelm. One of the physicians attending the birth used a forceps to pull the infant out of the birth canal by the arm, apparently causing the damage. A few have speculated that the damage may in fact have been caused by a fall that his mother took during the fourth month of her pregnancy. In any event, the withered arm was a major issue in Wilhelm's life.
