Wartime reports

In 1943, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) received A Psychological Analysis of Adolf Hitler: His Life and Legend by Walter C. Langer, commissioned to help the Allies understand the dictator.^[41] The report, later expanded into book form as The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report (1972),^[42] describes Hitler as having repressed homosexual tendencies^[43] and states that he was an impotent coprophile.^[44] Psychologist Henry Murray wrote a separate psychoanalytical report for OSS also in 1943, entitled Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler: With Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany's Surrender.^[45] He also dealt with Hitler's alleged coprophilia, but overall diagnosed Hitler a schizophrenic.^[46] One of Hitler's opponents in the Nazi Party, Otto Strasser, told OSS interrogators that the Nazi dictator forced Geli Raubal to urinate and defecate on him.^[47] Kershaw contends that stories circulated by Strasser as to alleged sexual deviant practices ought to be viewed as... anti-Hitler propaganda.
