Hitler's Career: Growth and Development. Personal qualities and years of power of the world dictator

Adolf Hitler is a significant figure in the history of world politics. Tyrant, murderer, dictator - and this is just a small list of associations with his name. The man who unleashed the Second World War and destroyed millions of people was very quickly coming to power. Hitler's career, whose growth was rapid, and his personality still remain unsolved mysteries for historians, despite the abundance of documentation and eyewitness accounts.

The origin of the German leader

Official sources claim that A. Hitler was of Austrian origin, but, according to some unconfirmed reports, the Fuhrer himself, who so zealously defended the purity of Aryan blood and hated Jews, himself belonged to the Jewish nationality.

Adolf was born on April 20, 1889 and was the fourth child. According to information from historical documents, his parents Alois Hitler and Clara Pelzl registered marriage only with the permission of the church, that is, they were actually relatives by blood. In those days, in the small Austrian town of Braunau, such connections were not considered rare and were not shameful.

Hitler growing up

Growing older, the future dictator did not feel a particular craving for knowledge and science, he was attracted by culture, architecture and art. Not wanting to get a higher education, Adolf refused to study, citing a lung disease. Later, he discovered his talent for drawing. The security of the family allowed Hitler not to work, and he led an idle life, visiting theaters and exhibitions. Twice he tried to enter an art school, but to no avail - twice Adolf was refused.

During the First World War, the future leader Nazi Germany called upon to serve as a volunteer - this was the beginning of Hitler's military career, the growth of which became rapid due not only to the personal qualities of the Fuhrer, but also to the knowledge and skills gained while participating in hostilities. After the end of the war, Adolf returned to his homeland with the rank of corporal, awarded the Iron Crosses of the first and second degrees.

Hitler's personality traits

The stories of the teachers and classmates of the young leader give him a very contradictory description: he was both a ringleader and a calm, peace-loving student, not striving to learn the basics of the exact sciences. Information declassified many years ago says that Hitler was a kind, sensitive, creative, striving for power over other people's minds. However, from some sources it became known that Adolf owes his despotism to his father, who negatively influences him - his dominant and cruel behavior towards his son resulted in a manifestation of anger, the Fuhrer's rejection of other nations. Hitler's career, growth among like-minded people were determined by his impeccable oratorical skills.

Career

Returning from the war in 1919, Hitler joins the German Workers' Party and after 2 years becomes its leader, eclipsing and overthrowing the leaders who preceded him. The party is renamed the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party). Thanks to the acquired power and knowledge gained during the war, the Fuhrer gradually introduces his nationalist views into German politics, and also reforms the foundations of the country. At this stage, Hitler's career, the growth and success of his person begin to take on significant proportions.

From November 8 to 9, 1923, Adolf and adherents of his ideas organize the "Beer putsch" in Munich. However, the coup attempt failed, and Hitler was arrested. While in prison, the leader of Germany wrote the book Mein Kampf, which means "My Struggle". Later, the publication will gain considerable popularity.

The year 1933 marks the formation of A. Hitler as Reich Chancellor (his reforms, thanks to which the country's post-war economy began to develop, served such a high appointment). A significant position allowed the Fuhrer to ban other non-nationalist parties. From the moment Adolf was approved as Reich Chancellor, a cruel persecution of the Jews began, his influence over the whole of Germany increased: concentration camps, a pedigree is asked from each soldier. Each conquered territory has its own headquarters of Hitler - a command post.

Years of government

The Fuhrer firmly established himself in German politics from 1945 to 1945. Early Years Hitler's power came at the most unstable time in the country's politics - at that time Germany needed a strong leader, and Adolf's promises at all kinds of meetings and meetings had extraordinary power, people followed him, they were drawn to him. His oratory on the topic quickly helped to gain followers among ordinary workers and entrepreneurs of the country - post-war period was rich in restrictions for these segments of the population.

After Hitler received the recognition of his compatriots, he needed to conquer new lands. In 1938, he sent troops to Austria and Czechoslovakia, then according to his plan there were other countries of the world. Helping his associates, including Mussolini, he spread fascism around the world. According to historical data, major mistake Fuhrer was the beginning of the war with the USSR. Despite the signing of a non-aggression pact with the country in 1939, in 1941 Nazi troops began to bomb the country of the Soviets. The result of the war with the USSR was unconditional surrender Nazis and the suicide of the head of Germany, Adolf Hitler, as well as his wife, Eva Braun. On April 30, 1945, at half past three, in the afternoon, Hitler and Eva committed suicide, having bequeathed to burn their bodies. However, the SS soldiers did not manage to complete their plans to the end, and the bodies were discovered by the troops of the Soviet SMERSH. There is an opinion that the half-burned remains of a man and a woman do not belong to the deceased at all, but, most likely, these are the bodies of the twins of the famous couple.

Once I was in a wax museum, where all the figures famous people were made in natural growth.

I remember my surprise when some figures did not completely correspond to my idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthem, for example, the great commander Suvorov (in my understanding, the commander is a tall, strong man), the figure was a short, thin man one and a half heads shorter than me.

Of course, from the course school history, I knew that Suvorov was not an athlete, but when you see it with your own eyes, it surprises me, at least for sure

"Analytical newspaper "Secret Research", No. 8, 2008

There are many truths in the world that seem to be completely obvious, and yet, precisely because of their obviousness, people often do not notice them, or, in any case, do not understand their significance. People sometimes pass by such self-evident truths like the blind, and then they are extremely surprised when someone suddenly discovers what, it would seem, everyone should have known. Wherever you look, there are thousands of Columbus eggs everywhere, but there are very few Columbuses themselves in life.

Adolf Gitler. My struggle

Someone will find these Fuhrer's arguments about "Columbus" and "eggs" "something interesting" or even "wise." But any psychiatrist will see here the typical features of the reasoning of a schizophrenic patient who really sees what other healthy people do not see.

Any usurper is already a mentally ill person because he is sure that he alone knows what his people and his country need. Intolerance to other people's opinions (or the inability to perceive it at all) and ideas about oneself as "chosen from above for a great mission" are typical features of a schizophrenic.

Unfortunately, in countries with weak democratic traditions and an internal crisis, there is a very high percentage of marginals who are not able to fulfill their functions as a Citizen in governing the country and are ready to give them to the "Firm Hand". That is, to someone who wants to become a usurper, and most of all, schizophrenics want this. As a result, the very first democratic elections bring to power a dictator with mental problems, who liquidates the Civil Society, the opposition, independent media and trade unions independent of the state, any dissent and install instead of them on the money of the taxpayers the organs of their propaganda (like the RPL, Goebbels' propaganda ministry in 1933) - and introduces the formation of state capitalism. Where the State becomes the employer, that is, the executive power itself - which puts it in the rank of neo-feudal lord. (All this was condemned at the Nuremberg Tribunal as an odious Crime against Humanity and as "the main basic and typical features of a fascist state.") And the whole country begins to live a schizophrenic way of life, "adjusting" to its crazy "leader of the people" - which happened in Germany in 1933.

Unlike the communist usurpers, the fascists have always been populists, as they seized power not by force, but by election. And although in essence Pol Pot, say, was no different from Mussolini or Franco, the populism of the fascist leaders gave their dictatorship special features. If communism was based on fear and repression, then fascism was based on populism and demagogy. And the greatest populist of all time was, of course, Adolf Hitler.

HYPNOSIS OF HITLER

A few years ago, AiF wrote that all tyrants were short: Napoleon, Lenin and Stalin were about one and a half meters, and Hitler was the shortest among them. And the picture was placed: dwarfs, among which the shortest Hitler - with a height of 154 cm.

A respected publication deceived readers. Hitler's height is 175 cm. You can't call him a dwarf. This is the normal height of a normal man. But much else in the Fuhrer is already difficult to call normal.

The main thing in Hitler is his personal magnetism, which suppressed everything rational in those who listened to him. As contemporaries write, “his strength came from a truly remarkable physical feature- pale blue eyes whose searching brilliance became the fodder of legends in Nazi Germany. Party information usually indicated the riveting effect of his eyes. In one story, it was reported that an anti-Nazi policeman who had to maintain order at one of Hitler's first rallies was so carried away by the Fuhrer's gaze fixed on him that he soon joined the Nazi Party. The German playwright Gerhard Hauptmann reverently described his gaze into the leader's eyes as "the greatest moment of my life."

Hitler's piercing gaze, combined with the attention-grabbing manner of speech, hypnotized. Even Hermann Goering, one of the proudest and most powerful men in the Reich, lost his temper in the presence of Hitler.

As historians write, the Fuhrer was fully aware that he was able to flatten anyone at his feet. And he easily learned that his dazzling performances, either in front of a few listeners or in front of thousands, should not just be spontaneous, but carefully thought out. He once boasted that he was "the greatest actor in Europe." And indeed it is.

Ruthlessly restraining natural reciprocal feelings in everyday life, Hitler rarely laughed without covering his mouth with his hand, and learned an impressive repertoire of movements and postures that gave such unconditional persuasiveness to his speeches. Believing, as he wrote in Mein Kampf, that “all the great, most important world events are caused not by the printed word, but by the spoken word,” Hitler constantly polished his stage art. Up to the point that he "practiced in the pathos and gestures that a huge hall with thousands of people demanded." Hitler, according to eyewitnesses, gave himself up to the role with such ardor that he easily managed to give the appearance of truth to the most blatant lies.

The purpose of this was not to convince the listeners, but to stun them. Hitler realized that many of his potential followers felt inferior and alienated, and the best way to get to such people was to plunge them into the cauldron of human nature, to bring the crowd of people to the peak of admiration. As Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, such a ritual enabled the person who “felt so small” to enter into something larger and more powerful: “He and three or four thousand others will merge in a powerful sensation that gives intoxication and enthusiasm.” This is the essence of fascism. The doctrine hammered into the audience in this state will remain in the minds of the listeners, Hitler believed, because it carries the hypnotic power of mass suggestion.

Admittedly, Hitler was the greatest orator of all times and peoples. This is the whole - almost the whole - of his mystery.

Hitler scheduled performances at night, using dramatic lighting, and listeners became more suggestible. He turned the politician's speech into an act of art, into a theater. "At night," he said, "participants succumb more easily to the prevailing force of a powerful will." To make an even greater impression on the audience, the organizers of the rallies used heavy backstage, fanfare and so on.

HITLER SHOW

One can find obvious analogies between the ideas of Kashpirovsky and those of Hitler. Both here and there, the masses deliberately zombified and experienced narcotic ecstasy from the sensation of a “mass ascent of the subconscious”.

French ambassador André François-Poncet described a stunning, shocking rally - a grand show - at Berlin's Tempelhof airfield shortly before Hitler came to power: in the presence of regimental detachments. Crowds of curious people flocked to the festival. Soon, about a million eager townspeople who wished to watch the show filled the field with military units and black-uniformed SS guards standing behind. Above "a forest of glittering banners," notes François-Poncet, "a huge podium with bristling microphones crashes like a ship's prow into a sea of ​​human heads."

The Fuhrer arrives at eight o'clock. “Hitler appeared standing in the car, stretching out his outstretched hand, with a stern and distorted face. A lingering roar of powerful salutation accompanied his progress. The night has already come. Searchlights were switched on, placed at great distances. Their soft bluish light, which does not dispel the darkness, seemed to dissolve into it. The prospect of this human sea stretched to infinity. As soon as Hitler entered the podium, all the floodlights turned off to save only an enveloping light on the Fuhrer. In such a blinding glow, it seemed to looming large over the human sea below. The crowd fell into a religious silence."

For the first few minutes, Hitler groped initial words and spoke brokenly in harsh tones. Then, as he developed his subject, the speech became smoother. “After 15 minutes, something happened that can be described by an ancient primitive metaphor: the spirit possessed him.”

The voice gradually became louder, the pace increased. Sweat poured from his face, and all the excitement contained in everyday life, he splashed to the surface as he captured the audience with an energy that he never allowed himself in ordinary performances. His eyes were cloudy and he looked mesmerized.

His listeners were stunned. In whatever direction Hitler swung, the crowd repeated the same thing. When he leaned forward, the crowd rushed towards him like a wave. Excited by his oratorical ecstasy, the women squealed hysterically and fainted. Even complete skeptics, including French and Soviet (!) diplomats and foreign journalists, found that they involuntarily extended their arms in a harsh greeting with cries of “Sieg heil!”.

In my opinion, this is the same thing that happened at the mass sessions of Kashpirovsky.

As Hitler's speech reached highest point, he became angry and waved his fists, as if he were near enemies: Jews, Reds, hated Compromisers who betrayed Germany and weakened her to impotence. Hitler's blazing verbal attacks, increasingly filled with images of blood and violence, sent the audience into a fit that raged after every tirade he uttered. Goebbels gleefully reported after one such speech in Berlin: "The audience in the Sportpalast roared and raged for an hour in a delirium of unconsciousness."

Hitler, after the speech, usually himself was amazed and weakened, all wet. He once admitted that when he makes speeches, he sweats so much that during one speech he loses weight from 1.8 to 2.7 kg.

Stage image of the leader

For people whose craft is based on suggestion, part of the success depends on their image. For this reason, priests wear their religious robes rather than modern costumes, astrologers like to grow a beard and stand out with other exotics, fortunetellers surround themselves with sparkling trinkets. For a populist politician, his “stage” image is also important, since often the “courageous and steel leader of the masses” turns out to be a weak and mentally unbalanced person in everyday life, and even with oddities.

For this reason, the Fuhrer, carefully creating his image, did his best to hide from publicity both the history of his relatives, and the relatives themselves, and all those who knew him closely in his youth. Apparently, it was really necessary to hide something odious, since Hitler sometimes fell into hysterics if someone tried to break the veil of secrecy over his past.

German researchers Marianne Enigl and Alexander Dunst wrote in the article “Hitler's Mystery” (Facts edition, February 24, 2005):

“From the very beginning of his political career, Hitler had to contend with rumors about his origins. In the 1920s, a leaflet circulated in the NSDAP, in which he was accused of trying to "Jewishly" destroy the party. In 1931, Hitler's own niece Geli Raubal committed suicide in her apartment in Munich, after which questions about the family began to be asked openly to him. Newspapers in the Moravian city of Polna allegedly found Jews named Hitler, and the Osterreichische Abendblatt newspaper in July 1933 came out with the headline "Sensational Traces of Hitler's Jews in Vienna" and printed photographs of the Gütlers' tombstones in Jewish cemeteries in Vienna. Phonetic relationship was supposed to confirm blood relationship. After all, six Gyutlers are still on the burial lists of the Israeli community in Vienna.

When, in the early 1930s, his nephew, William Patrick Hitler, who lived in the UK, began to give interviews about his uncle, he summoned him to Germany. And he raged: "You idiots! You will drive me to the grave! With what care I hid my person and my personal affairs from the press. People should not know who I am. They should not know what family I am from!" Hitler visited his former parental home near the city of Linz only briefly, and Spital - the village of his parents in the Waldviertel region - never visited.

Albert Speer, a minister in Hitler's government, writes in his memoirs that he provoked one of Hitler's most intense fits of anger when he told him in 1942 that a plaque in honor of the Fuhrer was hanging in the village of Spital. Speer writes: “Hitler lost his temper and shouted for Bormann, who entered, stunned. Hitler attacked him: he supposedly said more than once that this place should not be mentioned in any case. And this donkey still hung a board there .Remove immediately."

... The descendants of the Schicklgrubers and relatives in the Waldviertel did not officially exist in the Third Reich. "We were nothing to him," Hitler's great-nephew from the Waldviertel, Johann Schmidt, told the Austrian magazine Profil in the summer of 2003. He and four other relatives of Hitler after the end of World War II were arrested by Soviet intelligence. Hitler's cousin Eduard Schmidt reported in Moscow during interrogation that he suffered from a severe curvature of the spine, could not work at full strength, and therefore Hitler gave him 8,000 Reichsmarks to buy a house. As a result, Eduard Schmidt was convicted of receiving privileges from Hitler and died in prison. Johann Schmidt was the only relative of Hitler who survived.

In 1936, Hitler invited his sister Paula to Olympic Games to Garmisch, where he ordered her to change her surname to Wolf and live strictly incognito. She lived on 500 Reichsmarks, which were transferred to her monthly at the direction of Hitler, and she escaped arrest by the Soviet authorities only because in April 1945, on instructions from Berlin, she was transported from lower Austria to Berchtesgaden. There she, as "Miss Wolf", and in 1960 completed her life path. Documents on her contacts with Nazis who fled to Argentina after 1945 should be published soon. The maintenance of her grave in Berchtesgaden is still paid for by former SS officers, and one of them even wished to be buried in the same cemetery where Hitler's sister rests.

What did Hitler hide about his past life? Not only their possible Jewish origin (after all, it is known that the most ardent nationalists and xenophobes, as a rule, are half-breeds in their ethnic group) - but also something else ...

Was Hitler homosexual?

Hitler had obvious deviations of a sexual nature. But what?

Many historians in the West believed that Hitler was a homosexual, and, for example, the American author of books on the subject, Makhtan, wrote in 2001: “At first glance, this seems like a trifle. But in fact, this is an important detail that sheds light on many features of behavior, character, and ultimately on the fate of Hitler. Until now, in his biography there were gaps inaccessible to historians, which I tried to restore on the basis of information about his homosexuality.

Here are some excerpts from Mahtan's book.

The first story, titled "Mr. Decorator":

“In 1905, 16-year-old Hitler left the school that was disgusting to him and left for the Austrian city of Linz, where his mother, sister and aunt settled. However, Adolf did not want to live in an apartment with three women, renting a room in the building of the city theater on shares with 17-year-old decorator August Kubitschek. Soon Hitler and Kubitschek became inseparable. Almost fifty years later, the aged Augustus wrote his memoir Hitler. My Childhood Friend”, many episodes of which look very ambiguous, especially today, when so much research has appeared on the nature of relationships in same-sex couples.

“My relationship with Hitler from the very beginning bore the imprint of unusualness,” Kubizek recalled. - Our casual acquaintance quickly grew into a deep one. mutual affection. Hitler watched with jealousy as I interacted with other young people - he could not bear the idea that I could be interested in anything other than meeting him.

In February 1908, Hitler left for Vienna. A few days later, the faithful Kubitschek moved into the room he rented, dreaming of a career as a musician. The Viennese cohabitation of Adolf and August lasted until the autumn of 1908, when Hitler failed the exams for the Academy of Arts for the second time and was forced to move out of his apartment. Kubizek gradually lost contact with him and only reminded him of himself in 1933, sending Hitler a congratulatory card on the victory of his party in the Reichstag elections. And he received a response message from the Fuhrer: "I was very glad to remember a friend with whom the best years of my life passed."

True, Kubizek had to part with this and other autographs of the leader of Nazi Germany when she forcibly annexed Austria in 1938. SS men appeared in August's house and confiscated all Hitler's documents kept from him.

The second story is called "Front-line love in a haystack":

“The World War that began in 1914 gave the 25-year-old “person with no definite occupation” Adolf Hitler an opportunity for self-affirmation. He signed up as a volunteer in the German army, in which in 1915 he ended up on Western front. 24 years later, in December 1939, one of the activists of the German resistance, philosopher and writer Alfred Schmidt-Neuir, tracked down one of the Fuhrer's former colleagues - a liaison at the headquarters named Hans Mend. He shared frank memories with him: “In the summer of 1915 in France, I first saw Hitler lying in a haystack in an embrace with our other soldier Ernst Schmidt, whom we often called by the female nickname Schmidli. Then I noticed them more than once in this position. Adolf and Ernst remained inseparable for several years, it was truly a couple in love.

Another interesting evidence of the Fuhrer's front-line biography was accidentally discovered in the German military archives by lawyer Erich Ebermeyer, who stumbled upon a report from one of Hitler's regimental commanders there in 1916: rank to non-commissioned officer due to his homosexuality.

The third story, titled ""I spent the whole night with him":

“A dossier about the same-sex preferences of the leader of the Third Reich was collected by army general Otto von Lossow. In 1923, he commanded the troops in Bavaria that suppressed the first armed Nazi uprising - the "beer putsch" in Munich. By the end of the 1920s, when Hitler's party had serious chances to come to power legally in the elections, Lossow "just in case" copied a number of documents from the Munich police archives. They contained a lot of evidence that, as the leader of the "brown" National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (NSDAP), Hitler attracted young people to his side not only with political arguments.

“I spent the whole night with him,” a 22-year-old Josef said in a police report. “For several months I was out of work, my mother and brothers were constantly hungry, so I accompanied him from the rally to his house and stayed there until the morning. He asked me if I wanted to stay with him and said that his name was Adolf Hitler,” 18-year-old Michel told the police inspector.

The author of the book writes: “The unsuccessful“ beer putsch ”and the subsequent imprisonment deprived Hitler of the opportunity to continue this kind of agitation. True, he was not left alone behind bars - his faithful friend and assistant Rudolf Hess, known in party circles under the expressive nickname Black Emma, ​​volunteered to share his imprisonment. In addition to Hess, in the 1920s, in the Fuhrer's entourage, there were many obvious homosexuals who were not embarrassed by their orientation - for example, the future leader of the Hitler Youth, Baldur von Schirach, and the head of the "fighting fist" of the party - the SA assault squads, Captain Ernst Rehm.

According to the historian, Hitler practiced sodomy until the late 1920s, when public opinion began to perceive homosexuality not as a deviation from the norm, but as a crime against morality and morality. Makhtan believes that in 1934 the Fuhrer ordered the destruction of Rem and 400 of his closest associates precisely because, being a prominent homosexual, the leader of the stormtroopers had some compromising evidence about the Fuhrer's belonging to the "blue" community and could use it in the struggle for power .

Soon a law was passed in Germany making homosexuality a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment in a concentration camp. “In his public speeches, Hitler never condemned homosexuals, but allowed them to be persecuted so as not to betray his hidden addictions,” the author of the book believes.

However, I would not interpret the facts of Hitler's strange sexual behavior in his youth in such a straightforward way. Firstly, although he obviously had sexual problems, but, in my opinion, he was still not a homosexual, and the rare attempts at such contacts, rather, expressed his “sexual search for himself” and, importantly, disappointed the future Fuhrer of Germany.

And secondly, Makhtan and other researchers talk about "Hitler's homosexuality", while understanding him as a NORMAL mentally person - even a homosexual. But in the very fact of this today, many do not find any "deviation". There are many homosexuals among the current political beau monde. So, the mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, openly admitted that he was gay. Bertrand Delano, mayor of Paris, did not hide his non-traditional sexual orientation. In the early 2000s, a “blue” Michael Guest was appointed US Ambassador to Romania (this was already the second case in the history of the US State Department).

A gay in a political position is not a tragedy, since a person is sane and mentally healthy. But the whole history of Hitler's "homosexuality" speaks, in my opinion, of a completely different deviation - of hereditary schizophrenia.

HITLER SEX

Hitler admitted more than once that he sees a woman in the audience, whom he takes possession of during a speech (which in itself is an extremely strange statement). This, like many other signs, has led psychiatrists to speculate that Hitler experienced sexual ecstasy-like pleasure at the climax of his speech—or even orgasm itself.

During speeches at rallies, Hitler's body went through all stages of sexual intercourse: at first, he aroused himself more and more and was excited by the response of the audience, at the end he fell into an oratorical orgasm (speech became almost incoherent, sometimes turning into moans and howls) - and suddenly denouement was coming. He turned out to be completely exhausted, his voice completely disappeared, he fell down or sometimes fainted and lost 1.8 to 2.7 kg in weight, as he himself admitted.

It is significant that Hitler not only never read his speeches “from a piece of paper” - but even an “improviser” in the normal sense of the word (as applied to a normal speaker) cannot be called him. Everything in his speech always depended not on the MEANING of speech and ideas, but on the STATE of his body, the excitement of which, in turn, was directly related to the state of the audience. Turning himself on, he turned on the audience, and she, in return, caused him even greater euphoria. Therefore, it seemed to the eyewitnesses of his speeches that in the initial “warm-up” stage of his speech, he stupidly walks “in a circle” around the same theses, repeating them several times (in order to “feel euphoria”), then the pace accelerates, and closer to the denouement he in a hurry, he generally loses whole theses from his thoughts (for example, he declares 5 “points” of something, but manages to name only 4 or 3, losing the rest in the pursuit of “the ecstasy of himself and the masses”). Then the “ecstasy” itself follows - and everything breaks off, Hitler falls down from impotence.

All this, you see, really creates a picture not of a normal speech, but of the speaker's intercourse with the audience.

People had never seen such speeches before, therefore they began to consider Hitler a brilliant populist orator (which is quite fair, since it was his deviation in many ways that brought Nazism to power in Germany), while forgetting that any genius is a companion or product of schizophrenia .

One of the varieties of schizophrenia is the linking of social behavior with sexual instincts. That is, when a person experiences sexual pleasure not from a normal sexual intercourse, but in refraction through something else. With regard to the stimulation of the energy of schizophrenic geniuses, this issue has so far been little studied. There are, of course, obvious examples when a brilliant sculptor admits that during a session of sculpting a female body, she experiences an average of 6 involuntary orgasms. This pathology itself is inherent most of all in artists, and in this case, the phenomenon of Hitler is, whatever one may say, oratory.

But with regard to sexual maniac killers, science already knows more. They get ecstasy from actions transferred from the realm of sex to other realms. During puberty, causal relationships are laid between the sexual sphere and stimuli, leading to excitement and ecstasy, orgasm. At normal person it targets the opposite sex. But if, by chance, an orgasm comes from fright or another phenomenon shocking the psyche, then this - like the memory of the first erotic record in the brain - remains for life and makes a person crippled.

So, for example, one of the famous Soviet maniacs became a cripple, who survived his first orgasm from fear and shock when he saw a pioneer in a tie crushed by a tram as a teenager. With women, he couldn’t do anything anymore (like Hitler), but he was drawn to see the dead pioneer in a tie again - in order to relive that first orgasm again. As a result, he got a job working with children, and then chose the moment to hang a pioneer in a tie, recording it on a movie camera. Those who experience their first orgasm after seeing a naked dead woman become necrophiles for life. Another famous Soviet maniac said that he experienced the first orgasm from horror when he saw during the war a wagon on which they carried a mountain of bloody corpses dumped in piles.

In all cases, according to psychiatrists, the cause of the FAILURE was congenital schizophrenia, due to which, during puberty, with STRESS experienced, connections were incorrectly formed once and for all in mental stimuli that cause sex drive. Therefore, as scary as it sounds, many brilliant artists whose creativity is also driven by this shift (but not in terrible manifestations) under similar circumstances would also become maniacs, directing their energy “in the wrong direction.”

As for the "genius figure oratory Hitler, he, too, could have become a maniac under other circumstances, but he was lucky. What will be the first orgasm of a teenage schizophrenic (often due to schizophrenia caused precisely by STRESS), leaves a whole imprint on his future life. He can happily avoid stress during this period and remain a sexually normal person, or he can become a maniac. Or maybe, due to the specificity of STRESS, it will become generally special and not like anyone - sexuality will henceforth be linked in his psyche in a strange way with something very far from what a normal person finds generally sexual.

In the framework of a psychiatric retrospective of the medical history of Adolf Hitler, it can be assumed that the young man experienced his first orgasm during STRESS during some kind of controversy (perhaps just political) or a quarrel with his relatives or friends. He greedily argued, became more and more excited - and the hereditarily sick organism answered this with an orgasm. Fixing this sexual orientation for life. As a result, later the cripple did not find sexual satisfaction with either women or men, and could repeat his first experience, already fixed forever in the psyche as a stereotype, only in the same controversy. That is, in oratory.

So the poorly educated and ignorant schizophrenic became not just a brilliant orator, but the disease led him to the leadership of Germany and the entire German people. He had something to hide: his relatives and acquaintances could not only tell about the extremely strange and unusual behavior of the teenager Adolf during his puberty, but could also tell that Hitler himself was from the genus of schizophrenics.

"Offspring of idiots" of the Hitler family

British journalist Stephen Castle wrote in "Mentally ill Hitler relative dies in gas chamber" (Independent, January 19, 2005):

“The Holocaust unleashed by Adolf Hitler even affected his own family. Yesterday, facts surfaced showing that one of the Fuhrer's relatives was destroyed by the German state.

The woman, known only as Aloysia W., was the great-great-granddaughter of Hitler's grandmother's sister on her mother's side. She was among several thousand mentally ill people killed in a campaign to exterminate and sterilize people deemed undesirable by society. Aloysia, who was 49 years old at the time of her death, reportedly suffered from schizophrenia. She died asphyxiated in a gas chamber at Hartheim Castle near the Austrian city of Linz on December 6, 1940.

Hartheim Castle was a training ground for SS assassins, who then massacred people in the Treblinka and Auschwitz death camps by the tens of thousands. Doctors killed thousands of people by lethal injection or gas chambers after Hitler announced that mentally ill people were "extra mouths" and that they were "unworthy of life."

Timothy Ryback, an American historian who heads the Obersalzberg Institute in Germany, said details surrounding the woman's death surfaced last week. They were discovered by the researcher Florian Bierl, who gained access to the documents medical institute in Vienna, where the future victims were being treated.

The ink stamp on her case file is "proof of destruction," says Ryback, adding: "It hurts to think about the suffering this woman went through. It highlights how inhumanly brutal this regime was." An American historian also told Focus magazine: "Hitler's secrecy about his family is legendary. Now, after 60 years, we know that he really had something to hide."

In fact, the innate predisposition of numerous members of the Hitler family to mental illness was well known in the highest echelons of the Nazi Party. In a secret Gestapo report from 1944, the family branch to which Aloisia belonged was described as "the offspring of idiots." AT medical card Aloysia is told that she had schizophrenia, depression, hallucinations and others mental problems. She complained to doctors that she was afraid of ghosts and slept with a skull in bed.

Aloysia, whose treatment consisted of being tied to a barred bed, also wrote a letter in which she claimed that if she were poisoned, it would be a release from her torment.

Scientists cannot yet answer whether Hitler was aware of the condition of his relative and her sad fate.

German researchers Marianne Enigl and Alexander Dunst in the above-cited article "Hitler's Mystery" clarify:

“At the beginning of 1944, three years after the death of Aloisia, Heinrich Himmler sent documents to the “Fuhrer’s office” that could have far-reaching consequences. They were marked "top secret" and concerned Hitler personally. Himmler conveyed to the "Fuhrer's secretary", Martin Bormann, in the strictest secrecy, information that called into question the myth of the great "Fuhrer of a healthy German nation." The secret document contained rumors about the Fuhrer's relatives, "some of whom were semi-idiots and crazy."

For Germany in 1944, this was already a belated discovery - to find out that the country was ruled by an abnormal person, a schizophrenic who zombified german people, who made him kill and die in his schizophrenic ecstasy performances. Only when Germany was on the verge of defeat did the top of the Reich first think about it, and ordinary Germans - Hitler's cannon fodder - never found out.

It is regrettable to admit that many rulers of the twentieth century, according to psychiatrists, also turned out to be schizophrenics in varying degrees of illness. Including Lenin and the paranoid Stalin. Today, in the developed countries of the world, all politicians are allowed to important government posts only after providing information about mental health themselves and their relatives. In the CIS countries, such a rule is not clearly formulated, and the relatives of candidates for an important post do not apply at all - as in Germany in 1933. Therefore, it is quite possible for us to come to power as sick a person as Adolf Hitler. The very thirst for power and near-sexual (equal to orgasm) satisfaction from having power over someone (other politicians say: “power is like a drug”) is the same mental illness of a person that lies outside of any politics and entirely in the field of psychiatric pathologies .

HITLER'S MYSTERY

Evgeny Manin from Philadelphia wrote in the émigré magazine Vestnik (No. 11 (218), May 25, 1999) in the article "Hitler's Riddle":

“I don’t know if the Guinness Book of Records registers the processes taking place in book publishing. But if so, I have no doubt that the number of books published annually about Hitler has broken all previous records regarding the "shakers of the universe", including Napoleon. Without attempting now to explain this phenomenon, I can only say that the latest in a series of recent studies on the Nazi dictator is Ron Rosenbaum's book Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Original of His Evil. .

... Rosenbaum, a journalist and reviewer for the New York Observer, defiantly departed from the generally accepted pious-mournful tone that most Jewish and non-Jewish authors strictly adhere to when they write about Hitler and the Holocaust.

... "Hitler Explained" is the result of ten years of hard work, processing countless interviews taken from the world's leading historians, philosophers and theologians; painstaking analysis of American and European archives; the author even made a trip to Braunau, Austria, to familiarize himself with the Fuhrer's birthplace.

Rosenbaum's original idea was this: if Hitler is the embodiment of the most monstrous forces of human evil, how to explain the source of these forces? But as the author future book met with a variety of people offering a variety of explanations, his attention shifted more and more to these explainers themselves.

Rosenbaum says his book was modeled on Albert Schweitzer's The Quest of the Historical Jesus. The point, of course, is not in any parallel - Rosenbaum simply used the Schweitzer method: what to do when certain key data are missing when solving biographical problems. Rosenbaum calls this a "black box" when the situation becomes clearer from the explanations given by people about this or that fact than from the fact itself.

Hitler is the black box. Data on the years that formed his consciousness are rare and scattered. There is very little sincerity in what he wrote about himself, and it cannot be believed. And at the same time, given the tremendous evil he brought to humanity, we cannot but be concerned about his psychology: if we do not solve it, we will always be in danger of repeating such a tragedy. No matter how much we repeat like parrots: "This must not happen again!"

On the cover and title page of Rosenbaum's book is a photograph: Hitler as a baby, looking with innocent children's eyes at the world, which he will later turn into a pile of corpses and conflagrations. Claude Lanzmann, the French film director and author of The Catastrophe, indignantly remarked that simply reproducing a baby Hitler photo on the cover is already tantamount to his rehabilitation. The author of the book sees a completely different meaning in this photograph: look at it carefully and tell me - is hidden evil already visible in these infantile eyes or will it appear later? If this ordinary child, what prompted him to grow into a monster that exterminates entire nations? And, perhaps most importantly, how could one person seduce and lead an entire nation - to seize neighboring states and exterminate millions of people? And, as the author irrefutably proves in his book, among the most respected researchers there is no single answer to any of these questions.

“On the other hand, the desire to give an answer is so strong that the sharp-tongued Rosenbaum calls some of them “ridiculous”, while others are simply “stupid”. The second category of explanations is of particular interest. For example, before the collapse of the USSR, a rumor spread from there that Hitler suffered from an abnormality in his genitals, from where, they say, everything started. Alan Bullock, the greatest authority on Hitler's historiography, called this version "the one-ball theory". There is a whole series of psychoanalytic explanations: Alice Miller, for example, blames the father of the young Adolf for everything, who mercilessly flogged him; and there are now and then appearing voluptuous opuses describing in detail Hitler's allegedly monstrous sexual perversions.

... Adolf Hitler's father, Alois, was illegitimate, and Hitler knew nothing about his paternal grandfather. In his testimony to Nuremberg Trials Hitler's personal lawyer, Hans Frank, recounted that Hitler had received an anonymous letter gloatingly claiming that his grandfather was Jewish. In 1942, Hitler ordered Frank to conduct a secret investigation into this mystery, which he did. According to Frank, he learned that Hitler's grandfather was an Austrian Jew named Frankenberger, in whose house the Fuhrer's grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, was a maid. He, Frank, tracked down the originals of the long-running money orders sent to Maria Anna by Frankenberger after she had been forced to quit due to her pregnancy. Translations, on the orders of Hitler, were destroyed by the Gestapo.

There were a number of other psychological "Jewish" options - for example, that the doctor who failed to cure Hitler's mother of cancer was a Jew, hence all the troubles. The author considers the reason indicated by Simon Wiesenthal to be especially stupid: Hitler detested the Jews because a certain Jewish prostitute infected him with syphilis in his youth.

It is interesting that Ales Adamovich in his book "The Punishers" also in search of an "explanation of Hitler" finds an "identical theory". Which, in turn, automatically entails the "juvenile syphilis theory." In fact, this whole “identical theory” was born only on the fact that Soviet doctors, who examined the remains of Hitler that burned down near the bunker in Berlin, found only one testicle in them. But, firstly, there are huge doubts that these were precisely the remains of the Fuhrer. And secondly, the remains were so mutilated by fire that the second testicle of the corpse could simply burn in the fire. And, thirdly, there are a lot of crippled men with one testicle, but for some reason none of them become the leader of the Nazis. And if we talk not about mythical, but about real physical problems Adolf Hitler, then he really had one: he sweated terribly, and his sweat smelled extremely unpleasant, the Fuhrer always stank.

But did this problem of the body become a "source of evil" for Hitler's psyche? Yevgeny Manin: "Alice Miller, for example, blames the father of the young Adolf for everything, who mercilessly flogged him." But the veterans of the Great Patriotic War still have a strange legend that Hitler received sexual satisfaction from the fact that Eva Braun urinated on him.

Alas, here I see the deepest delusion of Alice Miller, and Ales Adamovich, and Yevgeny Manin, and Makhtan, and war veterans - and in general all others who are trying to find an "explanation of Hitler." Here is their concept: "Considering what a tremendous evil he brought to mankind, we cannot but be concerned about his psychology: if we do not solve it, we will always be threatened with a repetition of such a tragedy."

They are looking for the source of EVIL in PSYCHOLOGY, but it is necessary to look for the source of MADNESS. Madness has no PSYCHOLOGY. And the "sources of logic" of a schizophrenic will never be understood by a normal person, because these sources are insane.

In principle, such concepts as “good” and “evil” are not applicable to a schizophrenic, because he is a mentally ill person. The peculiarity of Hitler is that he was a hidden hereditary schizophrenic, like many sex maniacs and genius scientists, who outwardly completely retained the appearance of a “normal person”, but were guided by their schizophrenic motives. Schizophrenia - hereditary disease, and there were many schizophrenics and idiots in Hitler's family, which, by the way, fully explains the Fuhrer's antipathy towards them and the laws he adopted to exterminate the mentally ill. By this, he psychologically tried to protect himself not only (and not so much) from mentally ill relatives, but also from his illness, which he fully suspected - but was afraid of the very thought of likening himself to "idiot relatives."

Hitler's secretaries recorded his speeches at dinner (to which some guests from among those close were always invited). Only in topics related to the realities of the day, the speeches were more or less “adequate to reality”, and in abstract topics, no one understood the Fuhrer at all. For example, he liked to talk about the fact that Mankind originated from the Moon, on which it used to live, carried other things not even unscientific fiction, but the odious nonsense of a schizophrenic. At the same time, he is a sickly paranoid: he was a vegetarian who hated any meat dish, because as a child he saw how a half-eaten corpse of a drowned old woman covered with crayfish and half-eaten by them was pulled out of the river. At the same time, during these dinners, he loved to treat guests with crayfish and tell them this story.

If we take a fresh look at Adolf Hitler - already from the point of view of psychiatry, we will see that he is not at all the "embodiment of Evil", but a miserable and unfortunate mentally ill person, a hereditary schizophrenic.

And EVIL is not at all in him, but in US, who are completely sincere normal people, but such a patient was literally picked up from the street, from the garbage, by accident - and made himself the leader of the state. Unfortunately, the Second World War happened because it was precisely such paranoid and schizophrenic people at the helm of many European countries at once (from Mussolini to Stalin, who was given a similar diagnosis by the luminaries of Soviet psychiatry), and this war was a war against schizophrenia in power or a war countries of schizophrenia - represented by the Reich and the USSR. At least today there is no doubt that the Reich was ruled by a mentally ill person from a family with hereditary schizophrenia.

It is unlikely that any psychiatrist will ever be able to accurately diagnose all of Hitler's mental illnesses and combine them into a sufficiently capacious and comprehensive formulation. There were so many deviations in the psyche of the German dictator that they simply do not fit into the standard diagnosis for ordinary patients.

The future dictator was mercilessly beaten by his father

Roots mental illness are usually looked for in the childhood of patients. Therefore, of course, psychiatrists did not disregard Hitler's childhood either. His sister Paula told them how his father had severely punished little Adolf, leading to the opinion that Hitler's aggressiveness was the result of an oedipal hatred of his father.

The dictator's father, Alois Schicklgruber (he changed his surname to Hitler at the age of 40), was known as an insatiable voluptuary. His many connections on the side were sometimes not enough to fully satisfy his lust. Once he savagely raped his wife, who refused him intimacy, in front of the young Adolf. Perhaps this incident left its mark on the whole sex life future dictator.

Mother Clara pathologically loved her boy (before him she had lost three sons), and he responded to her in the same way. Of the six children of Alois and Clara, only two survived - Adolf and the feeble-minded Paula. Hitler called himself a sissy all his life. Pathological love for his mother and hatred for his father became the cause of many negative features of his psyche.

Blinded with fear

If you believe Hitler, then in the First World War he was a brave soldier and honestly earned his reward - the Iron Cross. Only a British gas attack in 1918, which caused him to temporarily lose his sight, interrupted him. military career. However, recently the British historian Thomas Weber, based on archival documents, letters and diaries of Hitler's fellow soldiers managed to dispel this legend about the heroism of the brave corporal in the trenches of the First World War.

The historian discovered the correspondence of the famous German neurosurgeon Otfried Förster with American colleagues. In one of the letters, he mentioned that in the 1920s, Hitler's medical record accidentally fell into his hands and he read the diagnosis that the doctors had given him.

It turned out that Hitler temporarily lost his sight not because of the gas attack, but because of hysterical amblyopia. This rare disease occurs with mental stress, for example, due to a strong fear of military action. The brain, as it were, refuses to perceive terrible pictures of reality and ceases to receive signals from the optic nerves, while vision itself remains in order.

A brave soldier simply could not have such a disease, but Hitler was not one. He served as a signalman at the headquarters and was far from the front line, fellow soldiers even called him "rear pig". However, Hitler knew how to please his superiors, for which, according to Weber, he received the Iron Cross.

Hitler was treated for blindness with the help of hypnosis sessions. Therapeutic hypnosis at the hospital was handled by professor of neurology Edmund Forster from the University of Greifswald. It was to him that the blind corporal Hitler came. For about two months, Forster tried to find the key to the subconscious of this man who lost faith in his future. Finally, the professor found out that his patient had an extremely painful pride, and understood how, thanks to this, he could influence the patient's psyche during a hypnosis session.

In a completely dark room, Forster put Hitler into a hypnotic trance and told him: “You are actually blind, but once every 1,000 years, a great person who has a great destiny. Perhaps it is you who is destined to lead Germany forward. If so, then God will restore your sight right now.”

After these words, Forster struck a match and lit a candle, Hitler saw the flame ... Adolf was simply shocked, because he had long said goodbye to the hope of someday seeing his eyes. It never occurred to the doctor that Hitler would take his words about his great destiny too seriously.

According to the psychiatrist and historian David Lewis, who wrote the book The Man Who Made Hitler, it was thanks to Forster that the idea of ​​​​his great destiny arose in Hitler's head. Subsequently, Forster himself realized this. When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, the professor risked his life to have his case file sent to Paris, hoping it would be published.

Unfortunately, the publishers did not dare to publicize this case history: Germany was located too close, and Hitler at that time already had long arms. This is evidenced at least by the fact that this demarche of Forster did not remain a secret for the leader of the Nazis. Two weeks after the attempt to publish Hitler's medical history, the professor died ...

As Weber found out, everyone who knew about Hitler's true illness was destroyed, and his medical cards disappeared without a trace.

Nightmare lover

With his speeches, Hitler brought women literally to ecstasy. He had many admirers, but as soon as some of them reached their cherished goal - intimacy with the Fuhrer, their life turned into a real hell.

Susie Liptauer hanged herself after spending only one night with him. Geli Raubal, Hitler's niece, told a friend: "Hitler is a monster ... you will never believe what he makes me do." Until now, Geli's death is shrouded in mystery. It is known that she died from a bullet. At one time, there were rumors that Hitler shot Geli during a quarrel, while the official version of the Nazis said that she committed suicide.
German movie star Renata Müller achieved intimacy with the Fuhrer, which she immediately regretted.

Hitler began to crawl at her feet and asked to give him a kick ... He shouted: “I am vile and unclean! Hit me! Bey! Renata was in shock, she begged him to get up, but he crawled around her and moaned. The actress had to kick and spank him anyway ... The movie star's kicks led the Fuhrer into extreme excitement ... Shortly after this "intimacy" Renata committed suicide by throwing herself out of the hotel window.

Eva Braun, who lasted the longest next to Hitler, tried to commit suicide twice, ultimately she had to do it for the third time, already as the wife of a dictator ... Many psychologists and sexologists doubt that Hitler was capable of normal intercourse.

Animal sense of danger

Hitler's life was committed, according to different estimates, from 42 to five dozen serious assassination attempts. Professional bodyguards and aces of special services cannot explain at all how the German dictator managed not only to save his life, but also not to get a single serious injury. In their opinion, this is no longer just luck, but a real mysticism. Usually, 2-3 well-prepared assassination attempts are enough (and most often one!), To at least, if not kill, then seriously injure a person and take him out of the game for a long time.

The most interesting thing is that Hitler often managed to save his life due to a literally bestial instinct for danger. For example, in 1939, during the assassination attempt of Elser, who organized the explosion in a Munich pub, Hitler unexpectedly left the meeting place for party veterans unexpectedly early, and this saved him from death. Subsequently, he said to one of his close associates: “I was seized by a strange feeling that I must leave immediately ...”

Once Hitler said: "I escaped death several times, but by no means by chance, an inner voice warned me, and I immediately took action." Hitler believed in this inner voice until the end of his life.
Rearmament German army, the occupation of the demilitarized Rhineland, the annexation of Austria, the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia, the invasion of Poland - any of these actions between 1933 and 1939 were to lead to war with France and Great Britain, a war in which Germany had no chance of victory. However, Hitler seemed to know that the Allies would be inactive, and boldly gave orders, from which the generals of the Wehrmacht were covered with sticky sweat. It was then that the mystical faith in the prophetic gift of the Fuhrer was born among Hitler's entourage.

Did Hitler really see pictures of the future? J. Brennan, author of " Occult Reich”, believes that the Fuhrer, like shamans, entered a special ecstatic state that allowed him to see the future. In a fit of rage, Hitler often became almost insane.

In a person in this state, as biochemical analysis shows, the content of adrenaline and carbon dioxide in the blood rises sharply. This can lead to changes in the functioning of the brain and access to new levels of consciousness. “Intoxication of this kind brought Hitler to the point,” writes J. Brennan, “that he could throw himself on the floor and start chewing the edge of the carpet - such behavior was observed among Haitians who surrendered to the power of spirits during the performance magical rituals. This led to the fact that the nickname Carpet Eater stuck behind him.

Germany under hypnosis

For the rest of his life, Hitler's school teacher remembered the strange look of the teenager Adolf, which made the teacher tremble. Many of the Fuhrer's entourage spoke of his outstanding hypnotic abilities. Whether they were congenital or Hitler took hypnosis lessons from someone is unknown. The ability to subjugate people greatly helped Hitler on his way to the heights of power. In the end, almost all of Germany was hypnotized by the former corporal.

Geli Raubal, Hitler's niece, told a friend: "Hitler is a monster ... you will never believe what he makes me do."

Here is what General Blomberg wrote about Hitler's hypnotic gift: “... I was constantly influenced by a certain force that emanated from him. She resolved all doubts and completely excluded the possibility of objecting to the Fuhrer, ensuring my complete loyalty ... "

Professor X. R. Trevor-Roper, former officer Intelligence, wrote: "Hitler had a gaze of a hypnotist, which suppresses the mind and feelings of all who fall under his spell." J. Brennan, in The Occult Reich, describes a striking case. One Englishman true patriot Britain, who does not know German, listening to the speeches of the Fuhrer, involuntarily began to raise his hand in a Nazi salute and shout "Heil Hitler!" along with the electrified crowd...

"Infernal Cocktail"

So many mental deviations were mixed in Hitler that any, even an experienced psychiatrist, would have been clearly confused, trying to unravel the composition of the “hellish cocktail” that was seething in the head of this nondescript man, a madman who intended to conquer the whole world in his time. Obvious sexual deviations, the ability to exert a hypnotic effect on people, as well as an animal instinct for danger, which allows us to talk about certain clairvoyant abilities, are far from all that Hitler differed from other people.

Erich Fromm, for example, noted in him a clear tendency to necrophilia. As confirmation, he cited the following quote from Speer's memoirs: “As far as I remember, when meat broth was served on the table, he called it “corpse tea”; he commented on the appearance of boiled crayfish with a story about a dead old woman, whom close relatives threw into a stream as bait to catch these creatures; if they ate eels, he did not forget to mention that these fish love dead cats and are best caught on this particular bait. In addition, Fromm draws attention to a strange mine on the Fuhrer's face, which is visible in many photographs, it seems that the Fuhrer constantly smells a certain disgusting smell ...

Hitler had an amazing memory, he had the ability to preserve in it a photographically accurate reflection of reality. It is believed that only 4% of children have such a memory at an early age, but as they grow older, they lose it. In Hitler's memory, both minor architectural elements of buildings and large pieces of text were perfectly imprinted. The dictator amazed the highest generals of the Reich, citing from memory numerous figures relating to weapons such as german army, as well as its opponents.

The Fuhrer was an excellent imitator. As Eugen Hanfstaengl recalls: “He could imitate the hissing of geese and the quacking of ducks, the lowing of cows, the neighing of horses, the bleating of goats ...”

The dictator's acting skills were also at their best, he even knew how to influence his autonomic nervous system, for example, he made himself cry without any problems, which is given to few professional actors. Tears from the eyes of the Fuhrer had a magical effect on the audience, enhancing the effect of his speeches. Knowing about this gift of Hitler, Goering at the very beginning of the Nazi movement in critical situations literally demanded: "Hitler must come here and cry a little!"

Admiral Doenitz believed that some kind of "radiation" emanated from Hitler. It had such a strong influence on the admiral that after each visit of the Fuhrer, Doenitz needed several days to recover and return to the real world. Goebbels also noted the clear impact of his patron, he said that after talking with Hitler, he "feels like a recharged battery."

In many ways, Hitler's actions were determined by a very deep factor - an inferiority complex, described by Alfred Adler. The dictator constantly compared himself to the great conquerors of the past and tried to surpass them. According to Alan Bullock, "a huge role in Hitler's entire policy was played by the strongest feeling of envy inherent in him, he wanted to crush his opponents."

There is no doubt that Hitler developed Parkinson's disease, which is caused by organic lesion brain. True, the dictator managed to pass away before this illness had a serious impact on his health and psyche. In 1942, Hitler's left hand began to tremble, and in 1945 facial expression disorder began. In the last months of his life, Hitler, according to the recollections of others, resembled a ruin and moved with great difficulty. Parkinson's disease is known to affect logical thinking and the sick person tends to have a more emotional perception of reality. From 1941, Hitler's unique memory began to fail more and more often.

So, Hitler was such a strange and abnormal person that the existence of such a "mental anomaly" is even difficult to imagine. Therefore, the dictator practically did not fit into the tight diagnostic schemes of various psychological and psychiatric schools, and it was not possible to make a comprehensive diagnosis of him, although such attempts were nevertheless made.

Among the documents in one of the law libraries, a secret psychological portrait of Hitler, compiled back in 1943 by psychiatrist Henry Murray from Harvard University. It was ordered to Murray by the leadership of the US Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor of the CIA). The American military and intelligence officers wanted to know more about the character of Hitler in order to be able to predict his actions in a given military-political situation.

Staff at Cornell University have published this 250-page analysis of Hitler's psyche, essentially one of the first attempts to investigate the dictator's personality. "Despite the fact that psychology has come a long way, the document provides an opportunity to see some of the features of Hitler's personality," said Thomas Mills, a researcher at the university's library.

This curious document has the following title: "Analysis of the personality of Adolf Hitler with forecasts regarding his future behavior and recommendations on how to deal with him now and after the surrender of Germany."

It is clear that Murray did not have the opportunity to personally examine such a dangerous "patient", so he was forced to conduct psychoanalytic studies of the dictator in absentia. All the information that could be obtained was used - the genealogy of the Fuhrer, information about his school years and military service, writings of the dictator, his public performance, as well as testimonies of people who communicated with Hitler.

What kind of portrait did an experienced psychiatrist manage to draw? Hitler, according to Murray, was an evil, vindictive man who did not tolerate any criticism and despised other people. He lacked a sense of humour, but he had plenty of stubbornness and self-confidence.

In the Fuhrer, the psychiatrist believed, the female component was quite pronounced, he never went in for sports, physical labor, had weak muscles. From a sexual point of view, he describes him as a passive masochist, suggesting the presence of repressed homosexuality.

Murray believed that Hitler's crimes were partly due to revenge for the bullying he suffered as a child, as well as a hidden contempt for his weaknesses. The psychiatrist believed that if Germany lost the war, Hitler could commit suicide. However, if the dictator is killed, then he can turn into a martyr.

Murray's diagnosis includes a whole bunch of diseases. In his opinion, Hitler suffered from neurosis, paranoia, hysteria and schizophrenia. Although modern experts find in this psychological portrait dictator a number of misinterpretations and inaccuracies, due to the level of development of psychiatry in those years, the discovered document is undoubtedly unique.

Height - 165 cm, but this is not so ....

The act of examining Hitler's remains, drawn up by Soviet pathologists on May 8-11, 1945, contains a number of obvious errors, which are most likely caused by political reasons - the desire to humiliate Hitler in every possible way even after his death. These errors are as follows: Hitler's height in the act is 165 cm, while in reality the Fuhrer had a height of 175 cm; the act stated that Hitler's left testicle was missing, while all lifetime medical examinations stated that Hitler had normal genitals, without any abnormalities; fragments of a glass ampoule were found in the mouth of the corpse, which made it possible to say that Hitler had poisoned himself; but, as Western critics reasonably pointed out, in conditions where the corpse was charred, glass fragments could not survive and would inevitably melt. More importantly, sample analysis internal organs and blood taken from the corpses of Hitler and Eva Braun did not reveal any traces of cyanide compounds there. Meanwhile, such compounds were identified in the analysis of samples of the corpses of Goebbels, his wife, children, General Krebs and the shepherd Blondi.

Linge described the situation in Hitler's office immediately after the suicide: “I immediately smelled gunpowder, as happens after a shot ... Together with Bormann, we entered the room ... Hitler was sitting on the sofa to the left. He was dead. Next to him is the dead Eva Braun. On Hitler's right temple there was a gaping gunshot wound the size of a coin, on his cheek - traces of blood that had rolled down in two streams. There was a pool of blood the size of a plate on the carpet near the sofa. Blood spattered on the wall and on the couch. Right hand Hitler lay on his knee, palm up. Left - hung along the body. At Hitler's right leg lay a 7.65 mm Walther revolver, and at his left leg a 6.35 mm revolver of the same system.

Hitler was wearing his gray military tunic, which had a gold party badge on it, iron Cross 1st degree and a badge for being wounded in the First World War, which he wore all the last days. He wore a white shirt with a black tie, black slacks, black socks, and black leather low shoes. Eva Braun sat on the couch with her legs crossed. Her light-colored high-heeled shoes stood on the floor. Her lips were tightly compressed. She poisoned herself with cyanide...
With the help of Bormann... I laid Hitler's body, still warm, on the floor and wrapped it in a blanket... Hitler's body, myself and the SS men from the personal guard Lindloff and Reiser... carried it through the reception room to the emergency exit to the park. Goebbels, Burgdorf, Krebs, Axman, Nauman, Günsche, and Rattenhuber, standing in the waiting room, raised their hands in greeting. Then Bormann came out of Hitler's office, followed by Kempka with the body of Eva Braun in her arms. Goebbels, Axmann, Naumann, Rattenhuber, Krebs and Burgdorf followed Hitler's body to the emergency exit."
