'Last year top-secret war files were
released to the Public Record Office'

'Called the Sexologist's Stories,...

They give a tantalising glimpse of how
a clandestine government department

used sexual smears against top Nazis'

'While His Majesty's pornographers
undermined German morale,
through so-called black propaganda,..

..the Americans investigated
the sex life of Adolf Hitler.'

'This film tells the story of
the Allies' sex files on the Nazis.'

BIG BEN CHIMES

"This is London calling."

'Throughout the war, all over
Nazi Germany and occupied Europe,...

..people risked punishment by tuning
in to the BBC's Foreign Service.'

"London calling. At the beginning.."

..and were known in Whitehall
as white propaganda.'

'But other British radio stations...

..transmitted programmes
based on innuendo, lies and smears.'

'This was black propaganda.'

Black propaganda was so awkward,
so nasty, so sly,...

the Government didn't want any part
in it. Wouldn't admit any part in it

When you think about
the dulcet tones of the BBC...

..and the...
and "This is Britain calling"...

..it was a... it was a bombshell.

'In 1943, Molly Izzard joined
a covert government department called
the Political Warfare Executive.'

'She was posted to a secret location
in the country, 45 miles from London'

'It was a mystery to the locals.
A total mystery.'

There was a big compound,...

and you were hidden from the village

'It now looks very dilapidated.'

We were told in no uncertain manner

..never to say anything about
what we did or where we did it...

The brigadier told me if I divulged
anything, I'd go to prison for years

'The Political Warfare Executive
was an offshoot of the top-secret
Special Operations Executive.'

'Both organisations had secret agents
operating behind enemy lines.'

'While the SOE's job was sabotage,
the PWE's role was subversion.'

Its brief was to destabilise
any area under enemy control.

And to produce revolutions
among the subject peoples...

..and complete loss of faith
in the Nazi hierarchy on the part
of the Germans themselves.

'The PWE used a variety of techniques
to disseminate its black propaganda.'

"Achtung,
hier Gustav Siegfried Eins."

'Gustav Siegfried Eins was one
of its most imaginative creations -

..a covert radio station purporting
to come from inside the Third Reich.'

'In fact, its headquarters were here
in the Rookery,...

a private house in the Hertfordshire
village of Aspley Guise.'

'The first programme hit the airwaves
on May 23rd 1941...

..and focused on a remarkable event
that had taken place that month.'

"David McLean saw Rudolph Hess come
down in the darkness by parachute."

"But let him tell you his story."

I captured Rudolph Hess.

'When Rudolph Hess landed in Scotland
on an ill-judged peace mission...

..the black propagandists at the PWE
went on the air for the first time.'

"Es spricht der Chef.'

'A character calling himself Der Chef

..began ranting and raving
about Hess, the traitor.'

"As soon as he learns a little about
the darker side that lies ahead,...

..what happens ? He loses his head
completely and flies off...

..to throw himself and us on the
mercy of that flat-footed bastard
of a drunken old Jew, Churchill."

We would refer to Churchill
as this drunken nigger.

And the king was referred to as
that stuttering fool on the throne.

The things that you wouldn't...
wouldn't expect for a moment...

..would sound as though
it was coming from Britain.

This made people think it was
genuinely coming from Germany.

'Der Chef purported to be a Nazi,...

..who thought Hitler and his cohorts
had gone soft.'

'He claimed to be broadcasting
from a secret radio station
somewhere inside the Third Reich.'

..the head of the German Section
of the PWE.'

Delmer had the bright idea of just
simply having dirty stuff on the air

And that would be soon talked about
and people would think of ways...

The pornographic material
was not aimed at the officer class.
That was aimed at ordinary soldiers,

..who it was thought had
an ordinary man's interest in sex...

..and an ordinary man's capacity

But this was not meant for officers.

in the minds of the frontline troops'

'The PWE would weave stories of
incompetence in with the bawdy tales
about the Nazi commanding officers.'

Pornography was intended
to make sure they got listeners...

..to take in what was being said.

It was mostly stories, either about
the private life of high command,...

..quite often based on fact,...

..or stories of what foreign workers
in Germany were doing...

..to the wives and girlfriends
of soldiers at the front.

'None of the PWE's
pornographic broadcasts survive,...

..but the files at the Public Record
Office contain draft scripts...

for the black propaganda broadcasts.'

'The Sexologist's Stories are a list
of the rumoured sexual peccadillos
of Nazi Party dignitaries.'

'They use information from agents...

"Bockmann is a depraved homosexual."

"His particular favourite, Fritz,
dresses as a woman."

"Tienemann is a flagellant."

"He breaks a couple of canes
across his maid's back."

"Oberleutnant Schmidt is a homo...

..who indulges
in the most fantastic orgies."

'Some of the material was,
as noted in the files, "improved".'

'But much had good factual basis.'

..would read the German papers
and wire over any stories or details

..that might be weaved into the black
broadcasts to give them authenticity'

'It was important to add
verisimilitude.'

You wanted to know
what the man's nickname was.

And you used that
and showed you really did know.

And if you're purporting to be
broadcasting from inside Germany,...

..then it's essential
to get these things right.

So, accurate information,
which you would then distort.

'One PWE target was Munich party boss

'Files from July 1942 read...'

"There was a large roulette wheel
on which a naked girl was strapped."

"Weber, drunk as usual, was croupier
and set the table in motion."

"The gentleman opposite the girl
when the wheel stops then obliges."

'Der Chef's broadcasts were so
authentic they fooled the Americans.'

'In 1941 the US embassy in Berlin
reported to Washington...

..that there was an illegal radio
station using obscene language.'

"It is violently patriotic and is
supposed by many German officers...

..to be supported by the Wehrmacht
in secret."

BIG BEN CHIMES

'In London the Government was split
over the use of obscenity.'

'One minister wanted to lose the war

..rather than win it by using the
methods employed by Sefton Delmer.'

'They thought it was not British.'

They didn't want to be contaminated.
Better to have nothing to do with it

If Delmer wants this foul stuff,
let him have it,...

..but we don't want to have
anything to do with it.

'The prudes did not prevail.
This was war with the gloves off.'

'The PWE was ordered to expand.'

'In 1942, at the height
of the battle for the Atlantic,...

..the Admirality asked for a station
to attack the U-boat crews' morale.'

'The PWE created Radio Atlantic
Sender, which had a highly successful
way of attracting an audience.'

# JAZZ MUSIC

'It played jazz, which had been
banned by the Nazis as decadent.'

Down in a U-boat, you're fiddling
with the wavebands...

..and if you picked up some decent
jazz, you'd listen to it.

That would attract an audience.

'They would then mix in with this
some political and sexual propaganda

..inferring that the high command
of the U-boats wasn't any good.'

"Albrecht is 61 and keeps
Jute Freber. Owing to his age
he is mainly a voyeur."

"Jute picks up a bunch
of really sex-starved U-boatmen."

"After a hearty meal, the boys are
allowed to mount her one by one."

'The most successful PWE station
by far was Soldaten Sender Calais,...

..which broadcast to German troops
occupying Northern France.'

'Lance Corporal Alfons Schulz
was a regular listener.'

..because it used the language
of the soldiers.

It addressed the soldiers. It played
the music we wanted to hear.

It broadcast in a language
appropriate to the soldiers.

It was familiar with their songs,
it was aware of their concerns.

It touched the right spot.
The vulnerable spot in them all.

'As the Minister of Labour he ran
the Third Reich's war machine.'

"Ley is generally known to be
a whoring old drunk."

"He recently picked up a tart
from La Baule, called Giselle."

'The PWE mounted an attack on Ley.'

'They broadcast an entirely
unsubstantiated rumour...

..that he received luxury rations,
while he urged the German people
to go without.'

'One woman was sentenced to six
months in prison for repeating this.'

'And Ley was forced
into making a public denial.'

'The broadcasts were reinforced by
a leaflet, dropped all over Germany.'

'It was produced by a special unit
at the PWE, responsible
for printed black propaganda.'

'Marion Whitehorn was 21 when
she began working as a PWE artist.'

'We sniggered sometimes
at the silly things we had to do.'

But we did it and hoped whatever
we did do would be successful.

If we hadn't had our hearts in it,
we would have made a bad job of it.

'By the end of the war, Marion's unit
had designed thousands of leaflets...

..and had millions of them printed.'

'Their work was distributed through
the Third Reich by ingenious means.'

'Many of the leaflets were smuggled
into Europe by secret agents.'

'Another novel method used
time-delayed drops from balloons.'

'The leaflets were aimed at frontline
troops and used authentic typeface...

..to give the impression they were
produced by German resistance groups'

'This was one of a series demanding
"How much longer ?"'

'Faking resistance material
was one of Marion's specialities.'

And the word "scheisse" means shit
and these two things are Ss.

And they also represent the SS.

And it's gummed at the back and
these were sent out by the million.

The spies took them
and stuck them on to whatever...

..and the backs of people and
goodness knows where it all went.

'As in the radio broadcasts, they
weren't bashful about using sex.'

'Several explicitly pornographic
leaflets were produced.'

'Despite their efforts to sanitise
history, some rare examples escaped.'

'Playing on the racial prejudice
imbued in ordinary Germans,...

..a slogan on this leaflet reads...

.."Dear Fatherland,
you can rest assured,...

'Thousands were distributed
among German troops.'

'Another pornographic leaflet was
planned for the printing presses...

..at the highest level of the PWE.'

I was asked to go to a meeting...

..and I went there and I was ushered
into a sort of boardroom.

There were lots of men

'The postcard was a picture
of Adolf Hitler wearing lederhosen -

traditional Bavarian leather shorts.'

"You, Marion, will impose a penis
on this card."

And I looked what it was

Hitler with his hands folded
over his trousers.

And the caption was
"What we have we hold."

"You're going to impose a penis
on there - but not too big."

'Marion's artwork has been lost,...

..but a similar example
survived the war.'

'This PWE version enjoyed
a very limited print run.'

'The top brass put a stop to it.'

'Such tactics, they believed,
were simply not British.'

'The Americans
had no such compunctions.'

'In 1943, they undertook a top-secret
report into Hitler's sex life.'

'Its conclusions made the PWE's
salacious gossip about Nazi bigwigs..

..look like
a children's bedtime story.'

"It hasn't been long since Roosevelt
announced that American troops
would be sent to the British Isles."

'When the Americans arrived
in ration-weary Britain, they had
everything they needed and more.'

"Oranges I said. Remember oranges ?"

'But the Americans lacked one thing -
a secret intelligence service.'

'So Roosevelt ordered a maverick hero
from WWI, General "Wild Bill" Donovan

..to set up
the Office of Strategic Services.'

'Betty McIntosh was one of the new
secret agency's first recruits.'

When Donovan set up the OSS
he was counting on British help.

We all know the British
were into this sort of work...

..since Queen Elizabeth's time.

'With help from the PWE, the OSS set
up its own black propaganda unit -

..the Morale Operations Department.'

The Morale Operations were charged
with doing any activity...

..outside
traditional military activity.

To upset the enemy,
weaken its will to resist.

And we had black propaganda
of all types, as you can imagine.

..on behalf of the OSS
during World War Two.

'The Morale Operations Department
didn't shy away from targeting
Adolf Hitler himself.'

what made the Fuhrer tick.'

If we could only find out
what made Hitler act the way he did,

..we could then get to him
through many ways.

Through psychological warfare,
through people trying to kill him.

But this would be the basis
for what we could work from.

'At the time Dr Walter Langer was one
of Harvard's leading psychoanalysts.'

'In 1943, "Wild Bill" Donovan asked
him to use his Freudian training...

..to understand the workings
of Hitler's mind.'

'Walter Langer was a very reclusive,
introspective personality.'

I found him unusual
and extremely professorial.

'In April 1943, Langer recruited
a team of researchers to help him.'

'Donovan had given him just
four months to complete his report.'

'They relied on two basic sources
of information.'

'Firstly, the shelves
of the New York Library,...

..where they consumed
every written word about the Fuhrer.'

'But Langer wanted more
than just books for his analysis.'

'The FBI scoured America
for anyone who'd known the Fuhrer.'

'They found dozens of witnesses,
including emigres, refugees

'The interviews provided Langer's
most controversial evidence.'

It was a top-secret undertaking.

They drew on any number of sources,

..but it was very closely guarded
and very secretive.

'Langer's source material and final
report consists of 269 entries...

..and runs to over 1,100 pages.'

'An intricate index of Hitler's every
personality trait was constructed.'

'His affection for animals
sits next to his anti-Semitism.'

'His love of dumplings
next to his Messiah complex.'

'As a Freudian psychoanalyst, Langer
believed Hitler's sexual behaviour...

would give clues to his personality.'

There was a lot of gossip
in those days concerning
his unusual sexual personality.

And that was a very large aspect
of the study.

Not all, by far, but large.

Because, as is well known,
sex plays an important role

So the report could have been used
for blackmail ?

It could've been used for blackmail,

'But the evidence Langer gathered
was far from consistent.'

'Some witnesses said the Fuhrer

'The index includes the names
of women associated with Hitler.'

'On the list are several young girls'

"He liked a girl's first seduction."

"Henny was 14 when Hitler seduced
her into sexual play with him."

'Langer's view of Hitler's sexuality

..was shaped by the allegations
of a group of key witnesses.'

'He had made movies in Germany
in the early '30s.'

'Zeissler told Langer how Hitler
asked him to send actresses
over to the chancellery.'

'Hitler would entertain them with
stories of medieval torture methods.'

'According to Zeissler, film actress
Renate Muller became a favourite.'

# It's a hard life, such a hard life

# But I keep on keeping on
Never crying... #

'Renate was desperate
to have an affair with him.'

'On one occasion
he's reported to have shown her...

..how he could keep his right arm
in a Nazi salute for hours on end.'

'Sometimes his behaviour
was stranger still.'

'We have reconstructed what he wrote
using his own words.'

Zeissler found Muller depressed. She
said the night before had gone wrong

She'd been sure Hitler was going to
have intercourse. They'd undressed.

But he begged her to kick him.

He pleaded with her and grovelled
in an agonising manner.

She finally acceded to his wishes.

He became more excited and as a
final climax masturbated before her.

He then thanked her
for a pleasant evening.

'The most important by far was
a Nazi defector, Ernst Hanfstaengl.'

'The 1934 Nazi Who's Who lists the
highest-ranking members of the party'

'Hanfstaengl is listed
as Hitler's Foreign Press Secretary.'

'Rich, urbane, sophisticated,
he charmed the foreign press.'

'But his chief role had been
that of Hitler's entertainer.'

Very important always
was his piano playing...

..with which he at times
actually resuscitated Hitler...

..and infused fresh energy into him.

'Hanfstaengl had been a personal
confidant of Hitler's for a decade.'

'But after a power struggle
with Goebbels, he fell from grace.'

'In 1937, he fled Germany
in fear for his life.'

'Hanfstaengl offered his services
to Allied intelligence.'

'He ended up hiding at a plantation
house in Bush Hill, Virginia.'

'The Americans thought his knowledge
of Hitler was unique outside Germany'

'They codenamed his debriefing
the S project.'

The activity of my father
in the S project...

..was what might be subsumed under
the heading of psychological warfare

He wrote profiles of all the leading
figures of the Third Reich...

..to give a sort of key
to the Americans and the Allies...

..as to what these people could do
and were likely to do.

'In Spring 1943, Dr Langer secured
a visit to the Bush Hill safe house..

..and talked to the Nazi defector.'

'Afterwards he recorded
what Hanfstaengl had told him.'

His favourite phrase is "If you go
to a woman, don't forget your whip."
Hitler always carried a riding whip.

The most serious affair
was with his niece, Geli Raubal.

It was assumed Hitler was using Geli
in an abnormal sexual way.

He probably beat her with his whip,
deriving sadistic pleasure from it.

'Allegations about Hitler
and his niece, Geli Raubal,...

..were to feature prominently
in Langer's final analysis.'

'Since the war, historians have tried
to separate fact from fiction.'

'Angela was known as Geli.
The daughter of Adolf's half-sister,

..she spent her childhood in the
small town of Peilstein in Austria.'

TRANSLATOR:
'Geli was simply unique.'

Mid-blonde she was
and she had a broad face.

She was very beautiful
and very friendly. So friendly.

She was a nice girl. Yes, very nice.

'Geli was very physical. The
embodiment of the Nazi ideal woman.'

'Geli loved outdoor pursuits...

'She'd take her clothes off
and go for a swim.'

We'd say "Geli, it's very cold" and
she'd say "I don't mind" and jump in
and swim across the whole lake.

'By 1928, Geli's mother was Hitler's
housekeeper just outside Munich.'

'Her 20-year-old daughter went with
her and enrolled as a medical student
at Munich's university.'

'The relationship between uncle
and niece grew increasingly warm.'

She was relaxed, easy-going.

She could tease him. Few people

..who was soon on his dignity.
But, with Geli, they'd both laugh.

'And despite the age gap, which was
nearly 20 years, they just got on.'

They could relax with each other and
the relationship started like that.

'While with her uncle, Geli fell in
love with his driver, Emile Maurice.'

'When Hitler found out, he made Geli
break off the relationship.'

'Dr Anna Maria Sigmund
has seen the letter.'

She writes "Dear Emile, I love you,

..but my uncle says we are far too
young and I should resume my studies

..and we shouldn't see each other,
only in his company."

And then she writes "Can you imagine
this ? I can't kiss you any longer."

"And Uncle A will be always with us"

'She was only seen from that time on
in the company of her uncle.'

They went everywhere together.
To the theatre, to concerts,
every day to the restaurant.

'With Hitler's encouragement
Geli gave up studying medicine
and embarked on a singing career.'

# ..meine Welt und sonst gar nichts#

'In May 1943, Walter Langer
interviewed another Nazi defector.'

'Like Hanfstaengl, Otto Strasser
had fallen foul of the Nazi regime.'

'He'd fled Germany in 1933.'

'Strasser told Langer that by 1931,
Hitler's infatuation with Geli
had become obsessional.'

'She could not meet young people.'

Hitler would make her undress
and he would lie down on the floor.

Then she would have to squat over
his face where he would examine her
and this would excite him.

The whole performance
was extremely disgusting to her.

'According to Langer, the testimony
of other witnesses confirmed...

..that Hitler's relationship
with Geli was far from normal.'

'Ernst Hanfstaengl told Langer

'Hanfstaengl had heard about it
from the then Nazi Party treasurer.'

He had had to buy someone off who
had been trying to blackmail Hitler.

The man had found a folio
of pornographic drawings by Hitler.

They were intimate sketches of Geli
Raubal with every anatomical detail.

'But if the allegations about his
sexual perversions were sensational,

other testimony was to accuse him of
killing the only woman he ever loved'

'Munich -

'Hidden away in the state archives
is a thin booklet -

..the suicide register for 1931.'

'In that year 334 citizens of Munich

..shot, hanged, poisoned
or drowned themselves.'

'Suicide number 193
is Hitler's niece, Angela Raubal.'

'Geli met her death
in the luxury flat...

..where she and Hitler had been
living together for two years.'

'On 18th September, after an argument
about a trip Geli planned to Vienna,

Hitler left Munich for a party rally'

'Geli went into her room
and locked the door.'

'She wrote to a friend
about an impending visit.'

'In the morning, the housekeeper
couldn't wake Geli.'

'She asked her husband
to force the door.'

'Geli's body was lying on the floor.
Hitler's pistol lay on the sofa.'

She fell forward,
crushed her nose and suffocated...

..and had a horrible, slow
and most painful death.

'Hitler immediately drove back
to Munich and gave a statement to the
detective investigating the case.'

'The police report still exists.'

"He said it was easy to take the
pistol as she knew where he kept it"

"Her demise upset him since she was
the only close relative he had...

and now this had to happen to him."

..had nothing more to say than
"It is really a thing...
This has happened to me."

He thought of his political career..

..and what his political enemies
would make of this affair.

'It happened at a bad time. The Nazi
Party was on the brink of power.'

CHEERING

..der eins mit den Verantwortlichen
an diesen Opfern ein unerbittliches
Gericht zu halten !

'The party was the second biggest
in Bavaria, but was under intense
fire from the opposition press.'

'Throughout the summer of 1931,...

..they'd splashed stories of sleaze
at the party HQ.'

'Homosexual scandals vied for space
with lurid details of whoring
amongst the Nazi hierarchy.'

'Geli's death was further ammunition
for the anti-Nazi press.'

TRANSLATOR:
The rumours started immediately...

..because it was, of course,
a very atypical situation.

That a niece, 20 years younger,
should be living at her uncle's,...

..the leader of an important party.

And a little bit strange, with
boots and a whip and a leather coat
and also his political views.

And she kills herself with his gun.

Well, you can imagine that
the rumours would quickly boil over.

'After Geli's death, senior party
officials had raced to the scene...

'Fear of a singing engagement
had driven Geli to suicide.'

'But despite the best efforts
of the Nazi propaganda machine,
press speculation ran wild.'

'According to the Munich Post, there
was clear evidence of foul play.'

"The nose bone was shattered and the
corpse evidenced other injuries."

It was claimed Hitler had killed her
in a fight, that she was pregnant,..

'Hitler went on the offensive.'

'He forced the Munich Post to carry
a retraction of the allegations.'

'But the rumours were to resurface
years later.'

'In 1943, during the course of his
investigation, Langer's key witness

Hanfstaengl believes Hitler murdered
Geli to stop her seeing other men.

Hanfstaengl says his main source for
this information is Gregor Strasser,

present when Geli's body was found.

He adds Strasser was killed because
he knew the truth about Geli's death

'There's no historical evidence to
link Strasser's death with Geli's.'

'Strasser was killed in a power
struggle between Nazi factions...

..in what came to be known
as the Night Of The Long Knives.'

'Nevertheless, the debate
about whether Hitler was involved
in Geli's death still continues.'

This is guesswork, but I think it's
almost certain that she was killed..

..either with his consent...

..or on his orders or by him.

She had to be squeezed out
and she had to be silenced...

..because he had made various
perverted sadistic demands on her...

She talked to other people about it,

..which meant she was a danger
to the Nazi Party.

'It was clear from the doctors that
she killed herself - it was suicide'

We can only guess
what happened at that time.

That she was unhappy,
that she was restrained,...

..that she didn't take up a career,

..and so she was really desperate
and ended her life.

'Amazingly, Geli was not
the Fuhrer's only suicidal lover.'

'18-year-old Mimi Reiter, Hitler's
first acknowledged girlfriend,
tried to hang herself in 1927.'

'Film star Renate Muller jumped
to her death from a Berlin clinic.'

'And two women intimate with the
Fuhrer made attempts on their lives.'

'Last but not least, Eva Braun,...

..Hitler's most famous mistress, made
two suicide attempts in the 1930s.'

'Both were hushed up in Nazi Germany,

..but during his investigation
Walter Langer heard about them.'

Eva Braun,
his present female companion,...

..has twice attempted suicide.

Geli was either murdered
or committed suicide.

Rather an unusual record for a man
who's had so few affairs with women.

'The home movies Eva Braun shot
during the war are an enduring image
of her relationship with Hitler.'

..it was a relationship
deliberately hidden from the world.'

'As a member of the Fuhrer's staff,..

..Herbert Doehring was one of the
few people to observe their affair.'

TRANSLATOR: From what I observed,...

..Eva Braun was not happy
with her relationship with Hitler.

'Walter Langer wrote that Hitler's
affair with Eva was not exclusive,...

..noting "He has also seen
a good deal of two movie actresses."'

'One was Leni Riefenstahl.'

'But Riefenstahl denies any
physical relationship and has said
that Hitler wasn't her type.'

'While the Fuhrer hosted glamorous
receptions Eva was kept out of sight'

'Actors, theatre people, singers,
they'd all be invited for dinner.'

'He liked to surround himself with
beautiful women. He appreciated it.'

Eva Braun became terribly angry.

She'd ring and the servants said "We
can't connect you, he's with guests"

She would get angry because she was
alone and he was with these people.

'In 1932 Eva Braun attempted suicide'

'She took her father's gun
and shot herself over the heart.'

'Hitler visited her in hospital
and spoke to the medical staff.'

He did ask "Did she want to kill
herself ? Was it not pretended ?"

And when the doctors told him
it was a serious effort,...

..well, then he liked it very much.

'For a while Hitler seemed
more attentive, but it didn't last.'

"I am mortally unhappy. As I haven't
permission to write to him, this
book must record my lamentations."

'Fragments of Eva's diary still exist
for a short period of 1935.'

'Certain passages give a hint
of their sexual relationship.'

"He needs me for certain purposes.
It can't be otherwise."

'She's reported to have complained
to a friend "I've had absolutely
nothing from him as a man."'

'On 28th May 1935,
Eva tried to kill herself again.'

'Her diary entry is blunt.'

"I'll take 35 pills.
That will make him see."

'She was discovered just in time.'

'Unable to face another scandal,
Hitler set her up in secret.'

'Hitler bought her many things
including high-powered automobiles...

..and a house in the country.'

'Langer completed his top-secret
report in late summer 1943.'

'It had taken him just four months.'

'On the basis of the evidence and
his experience as a psychoanalyst,...

An extreme form of masochism where
he derives sexual gratification...

..from having a woman urinate
or defecate upon him.

'From Langer's Freudian view, this
was at the heart of Hitler's madness'

which his subconscious turned into an
aggressive hatred of other nations.'

It was an extensive volume,
seen by very few people -

..most particularly
by the US President...

..and the British Prime Minister.

'Churchill found it fascinating...

..and Roosevelt personally
congratulated Walter Langer.'

'But the war was changing. Rommel
had been defeated in North Africa...

..and the German army had suffered
major setbacks on the Eastern Front.'

'The Allies felt a military victory

'His psychological analysis of Hitler
remained locked away in OSS files

'When it was declassified, a few
historians accepted it as valid.'

'But most dismissed its findings.'

There is no historical evidence
whatever for perversions of any kind

They usually can be traced back
to his political enemies.

I agree you have to distrust
the people who had been Nazis...

..and who had turned against Nazism
and were willing to oblige
the people who were asking questions

..by producing evidence
that one must suspect,...

I'm a historian,
I'm not a psychiatrist,...

..but it seems that his private life
was... quite normal.

There were no sensations whatever.

Stories about sadism, masochism,
unsavoury sexual practices,...

..not all these stories can be
untrue, particularly when you get
witnesses telling the same story.

'Whether or not Walter Langer's more
sensational conclusions are true,...

..he did show remarkable
psychological insight in one respect'

'His report considers how
the war might end for the Fuhrer...

..and suggests
a range of possibilities.'

'Hitler may die of natural causes.'

'The German military might revolt
and sieze him.'

'He may be assassinated or go insane'

'But at the end of the list
he made a startling prediction.'

Hitler might commit suicide.
This is the most plausible outcome.

He has threatened to commit suicide
and from what we know of his
psychology, it is a possibility.

It would not be a simple suicide.
He has much too much of the dramatic

Since mortality is one of his
dominant motives, he would stage a
dramatic and effective death scene.

'Walter Langer wrote those
prophetic words nearly two years...

..before Hitler and Eva Braun killed
each other in a dramatic suicide pact

..as Germany collapsed around them.'
