Everything about Walter C Langer totally explained
Walter Charles Langer (
February 5 1899 –
July 4 1981) was a
Cambridge, Massachusetts psychoanalyst best known for his role in preparing a
psychological analysis of
Adolf Hitler that predicted his
suicide.
Born in
South Boston, Walter Langer was the son of recent immigrants from
Germany. His older brother
William became the
history department chair at
Harvard University who took a leave of absence during
World War II to serve as head of the Research and Analysis section of the American
Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
Commissioned by OSS boss,
William "Wild Bill" Donovan, in 1943 Walter Langer helped complete the
Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler, in collaboration with Professor
Henry A. Murray, Director of the
Harvard Psychological Clinic, Dr. Ernst Kris, New School for Social Research, and Dr. Bertram D. Lawin, New York Psychoanalytic Institute.
The report used many sources to profile Hitler including a number of informants such as
Ernst Hanfstaengl,
Hermann Rauschning,
Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe,
Gregor Strasser,
Friedlinde Wagner, and
Kurt Ludecke. The groundbreaking study was the pioneer of
Offender profiling and political psychology, today commonly used by many countries as part of assessing international relations.
In addition to predicting that if defeat for Germany was near, Hitler would choose suicide, Dr. Langer's collaborative report and his book stated that Hitler was impotent as far as
heterosexual relations were concerned and that there was a possibility that Hitler had participated in a
homosexual relationship. The 1943 report stated that: "The belief that Hitler is homosexual has probably developed (a) from the fact that he does show so many
feminine characteristics, and (b) from the fact that there were so many homosexuals in the
Party during the early days and many continue to occupy important positions. It is probably true that Hitler calls
Foerster "Bubi", which is a common nickname employed by homosexuals in addressing their partners."
Based on that study, in 1972, Basic Books of
New York City published
The Mind of Adolf Hitler (the secret wartime report) by Walter Langer with the Foreword by William L. Langer and an Afterword by
Robert G. L. Waite. According to that book not only was
Adolf Hitler supported by the Rothschilds, he was a Rothschild. On pages 111-113 Langer writes: "Adolf's father,
Alois Hitler, was the illegitimate son of
Maria Anna Schicklgruber. It is generally supposed that the father of
Alois Hitler was a
Johann Georg Hiedler, a miller's assistant. Alois, however, wasn't legitimized, and he bore his mother's name until he was forty years of age when he changed it to Hitler. // There are some people who seriously doubt that
Johann Georg Hiedler was the father of Alois. Thyssen and Koehler, for example, claim that Chancellor Dollfuss had ordered the Austrian police to conduct a thorough investigation into the Hitler family. As a result of this investigation a secret document was prepared that proved that
Maria Anna Schicklgruber was living in
Vienna at the time she conceived. At that time she was employed as a servant in the home of Baron Rothschild. As soon as the family discovered her pregnancy she was sent back to her home in Spital where Alois was born. If it's true that one of the Rothschilds is the real father of
Alois Hitler, it would make Adolf a quarter Jew. According to these sources,
Adolf Hitler knew of the existence of this document and the incriminating evidence it contained. In order to obtain it he precipitated events in
Austria and initiated the assassination of Dollfuss. According to this story, he failed to obtain the document at that time since Dollfuss had secreted it and had told Schuschnigg of its whereabouts so that in the event of his death the independence of Austria would remain assured.” Langer's information came from the high level Gestapo officer,
Hansjurgen Koehler. In 1940, Koehler published a book under the title "Inside the Gestapo. Hitler's Shadows over the World.” (Pallas Publ. Co., Ltd. London, 1940). He writes about the investigations into Hitler's background carried out by the Austrian Chancellor, Dolfuss, in the family files of Hitler. Koehler actually viewed a copy of the Dolfuss documents which were given to him by Heydrich, the overlord of the Nazi Secret Service. The file, he wrote, "caused such havoc as no file in the world ever caused before" (Inside the Gestapo, p 143).
Retired to
Florida, Walter Langer died in
Sarasota in
1981, aged 82.
