Yes, you did read the heading correctly - Hitler used to whistle tunes including When You Wish Upon A Star. The German leader supposedly relaxed by whistling, or performed the hobby in moments of euphoria - such as when he stood on the balcony looking across Paris following the fall of the French capital in June 1940.

Another favourite tune of Hitler's was Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? - presumably due to his nickname of "The Wolf".
