ヒトラーは女の子っぽくて肉体労働が嫌いで上官には腹立たしいほど卑屈で、同性愛パニックと推測される悪夢に悩まされていた。このようなOSSによる分析がこの度前面公開された。...
ファシズムとSMや同性愛の性倒錯の関係については、三島由紀夫や中曽根の同性愛趣味と秘密結社的性格、反共国家主義に関連して藤原肇氏の「平成幕末のダイアグノシス」で述べられていたのを思い出しました。

Dr. Henry A. Murray
Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler
With Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions
for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany's Surrender
He was a feminine boy, averse to manual work, who was "annoyingly subservient" to superior officers as a young soldier and had nightmares that were "very suggestive of homosexual panic."
.
The mass killings that he perpetrated later stemmed in part from a desperate loathing of his own submissive weakness and the humiliations of being beaten by a sadistic father.
.
The first psychological profile of Hitler, commissioned by the Office of Strategic Services, a predecessor to the CIA, was posted this month by Cornell University Law School on its Web site (http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu).
.
Although declassified several years ago, the report, written in 1943, has not been widely cited or available to the public, historians and librarians at Cornell said. The university published the analysis after receiving permission from a relative of its author, Dr. Henry Murray, a prominent personality expert at Harvard during the 1940s and '50s.
.
"For a long time people thought there was only one psychological profile of Hitler commissioned by the OSS," said Dr. Jerrold Post, a professor of psychiatry at George Washington University and the founder of the CIA's psychological branch. He referred to a wartime report by Dr. Walter Langer, which in 1972 formed the basis of his book "The Mind of Adolf Hitler." Langer, a noted psychoanalyst, died in 1981.
.
Murray was among several psychoanalysts who worked with Langer in profiling Hitler for the OSS.
.
Post said that he first saw a draft of the Murray profile in 2000, while researching his own book, "The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders." At the time, he did not know who the author of the analysis was.
.
"It is clear that this earlier profile added to the definitive profile of Hitler, and very few people have known that it even exists," Post said.
.
The posted document is a condensed version of Murray's evaluation, a mixture of psychoanalytic theorizing, speculation and lurid detail about Hitler's life that could come from a true crime novel.
.
In an authoritative voice, Murray diagnoses in Hitler neurosis, hysteria, paranoia, Oedipal tendencies, schizophrenia, "infinite self-abasement" and "syphilophobia," which he describes as a fear of contamination of the blood through contact with a woman. The document refers only vaguely to its sources, and presents no scientific evidence for its findings.
.
"There's a whole lot of what we would now think of as psychobabble in Murray's article," said Dr. Michael Stone, a psychiatrist at Columbia University School of Medicine.
.
One example, he said, "was the suggestion that as a child Hitler witnessed his mother and father having sex, which in those days was given great weight as a source of psychological turmoil." The theory has since been discredited.
.
Murray did not have the benefit of genetic studies, or of more carefully distinguished categories of mental illness established later.
.
"Almost anyone who appeared crazy was called schizophrenic back then, and people didn't make distinctions between schizophrenia, for example, and manic depression," or bipolar disorder, Stone said.
.
In a more recent psychological profile of Hitler, the neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Fritz Redlich argued in his 1998 book, "Hitler: Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet," that while paranoid and troubled, Hitler was probably not mentally ill.
.
And even during the war, many historians were deeply skeptical of attempts to explain acts of transcendent cruelty with armchair psychoanalysis.
.
Murray himself was a controversial figure. Returning to Harvard after the war, he was involved in psychological experiments from 1959 to 1962 in which a stress test similar to one the OSS used to assess recruits was administered to unwitting student volunteers.
.
Among them was the young Theodore Kaczynski, a student at Harvard who later became known as the Unabomber. Lawyers for Kaczynski, who pleaded guilty in 1998 to the letter-bomb attacks that killed three people and wounded 28 others, traced some of his emotional instability and fear of mind control to his role as a subject in those tests.
.
Historians say the spirit of Hitler is alive and infused with morbid detail in Murray's pages. A frustrated romantic who loved painting castles and temples, who was enthralled with architecture, the growing boy developed also "a profound admiration, envy and emulation of his father's masculine power and a contempt for his mother's feminine submissiveness and weakness," he wrote.
.
"Thus both parents were ambivalent to him: His father was hated and respected; his mother was loved and depreciated," he wrote. "Hitler's conspicuous actions have all been in imitation of his father, not his mother."
.
.
As for how Hitler's life would play out, Murray predicted that the dictator would commit suicide.
.
"There is a powerful compulsion in him to sacrifice himself and all of Germany to the revengeful annihilation of Western culture, to die, dragging all of Europe with him into the abyss," Murray wrote.
.
Barring a deadly palace coup or insanity, Murray speculated that Hitler would arrange to have himself killed by a German or a Jew, to complete the myth of the hero betrayed. Or he would retreat to his bunker and, in dramatic fashion, shoot himself.
.
In the spring of 1945, as far as historians can determine, that is exactly what he did.
