There is a book I read many years ago, "The Spear of Destiny", that claims that Hitler indeed had only one testicle. I won't speculate on its reliability, since the subject matter of the book is about an occult talisman that allegedly was the Spear of Longious which pierced the side of Christ when He was on the cross. But the claim is out there.

Ralph Waite pursues the theme of Hitler's monorchidism in "The Psychopathic God" . Waite believed this did not account for his psychopathology but may have fueled his resentment of his mother (for delivering an "incomplete" child) and his interest in architecture (because monorchids allegedly are attracted to themes of completion).
Probably see some use in crude Allied propaganda and be the stuff of soldiers jokes and "edgy" (in the 40's sense) radio.
Ah yes, which would be entirely different from OTL, where the lack of confirmation made such a thing impossible.
Brilliant.
If Hitler was indeed a monorchid, it was because of an injury he sustained during WWI, not a birth defect.

Francisco Franco was severely injured during the Rif War and possibly lost a testicle, but that didn't seem to hold back his career. In fact, people thought he had good luck and he received a promotion.
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Hoden! (or Ein Testis, but Nazi Germany liked dumping Latin roots and using German words, so more likely Hoden)
