Was Hi**er sterile? If not, why did he not have children?
Hi**er was most probably not sterile. Nonetheless the reason Hi**er refused to have children was connected to the reason he refused marrying Eva Braun for much of their life. As is known, they would only get married one day before they committed su***de as a sop to Eva Braun.
Hi**er and Eva Braun with Speer and Bormann’s children
Hi**er was of the opinion that the Children of great men (yes, he considered himself a great man) are rarely ever great themselves, here is a quote from Speer’s memoirs which sums up Hi**er’s thoughts concerning marriage and children:
"A highly intelligent man should take a primitive and stupid woman. Imagine if on top of everything else I had a woman who interfered with my work! In my leisure time I want to have peace. . . . I could never marry. Think of the problems if I had children! In the end they would try to make my son my successor. Besides, the chances are slim. for someone like me to have a capable son. That is almost always how it goes in such cases. Consider Goethe's son-a completely worthless person! ... ,Lots of women are attracted to me because I am unmarried. That was especially useful during our days of struggle. It's the same as with a movie actor; when he marries he loses a certain som**hing for the women who adore him. Then he is no longer their idol as he was before."
Surely Stalin who was embarrassed of his son Yakov Dzhugashvilli would have been able to relate to what Hi**er felt.

However, and perhaps seen as a paradox (it isn’t), Hi**er was fond of children. In Obersalzberg and from Eva Braun’s album (it wasn’t propaganda since it was never intended to be released to the public) he was fond of both the children of Albert Speer and Martin Bormann, who were part of his small circle and both lived there with Hi**er in Obersalzberg. Göring never moved there and Goebbels would only move there when his house was wrecked by allied bombs during the last days of the war, however, Hi**er was also fond of the Goebbels children (and generally their family).
Albert Speer's son Speer junior: from childhood memory he remembered Hi**er as ‘a nice uncle.’
Albert Speer junior who passed away only in 2017, and who turned out to be an architect and urban planner (one of his prominent achievement was being a lead designer for the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing, designing the central axis in Beijing). Point is he remembered Hi**er as ‘a nice uncle, from my childish perspective’ . Hi**er just did not want children, though he was fond of them.
