Portrait of the Führer as a dreamer with a complex about his sexuality

Adolf Hitler had a feminine side: a romantic dreamer who loved painting ruined castles, he saw himself as the hero and author of his own great epic story. He was also deeply confused about his sexuality.

A previously unseen psychological profile, compiled as the Third Reich approached collapse in 1943, has concluded that the Führer's loathing of his own perceived weaknesses was to blame for his murderous megalomania.

The report, which emerged this month at the Cornell University Law Library, has sent a wave of excitement through scholars of the Nazi period. It coincides with the release today in British cinemas of the powerful new film Downfall that details Hitler's desperate final days in his Berlin bunker.

Written by Henry Murray, a prominent personality specialist at Harvard University in the middle of the past century, it seeks to explain, through the use of existing texts, the motivation for Hitler's behaviour.

DAFT counter-intelligence story to whitewash over MI6-held documents showing Hitler was virulent child molestor and addicted to morphia...

[sui generis]

1. oh my goodness

Things I conclude from this article:

1. Hitler was a frustrated homo so he killed everyone
2. Hitler was masochistic and in touch with his feminine side

Ergo, homos are of course very feminine, and of course all homos are masochistic. (someday someone please explain that to me I COMPLETELY don't get it)

3. Anyone who likes art or heroic fantasy is a homo or very sexually conflicted

4. Repressed homosexuality can lead to genocide.

Why does everyone get so crazy around us? First the straight ones tell us we're choosing . Then the "experts" tell us we're crazy. Now the historians tell us we're also all feminine masochists and possibly responsible for genocide.

It's enough to MAKE you crazy.

2. its kind of hard to be addicted to "morphia" when you're hooked on speed

confusing him with Goering, maybe?

3. His craziness was in

zealotry for promoting his mediocrity in all those areas. Trying to portray him as some super wild man does him too much credit. At some point mediocrity resorts to gangland models which are the basis of the power/money rise of "nobility".

Since his art and writings were even in his lifetime a joke the focus is on that peculiar application of "will" that crosses over to becoming a criminal mind in Nietzschean "Superman" tights.

Ah, the romance of the latest scholarly theory. Start working on mini-man Bush and get a leg up on the competition.
