By Daily Mail Reporter The dictator hated visiting the dentist right up until his death A postcard sent during the First World War by Adolf Hitler after a visit to the dentist - in which he claimed to have had 19 teeth removed - has turned up in Munich. 'You can't imagine how nice I looked,' he wrote to a fellow soldier called Karl Lanzhammer who was stationed in France. 'Now I'm better.' The card, dated December 21, 1916, has been authenticated after it was found in the collection of a postcard collector. On the front of the card is a picture of Berlin's Landwehr Canal and it is marked with the stamp of the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment, Hitler's unit at the time.
