Sexuality of Adolf Hitler

From dKosopedia

In 1943, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) published "A Psychological Analysis of Adolf Hitler: His Life and Legend". In the course of the 281-page report, the authors describe Hitler "(1) as he appears to himself, (2) as he has been pictured to the German people, and (3) how he is known to his associates".<ref name='oss1'>{{

}}</ref> It should be noted, however, that this conclusion is not without its detractors. In "Hitler and Psychohistory", Hans Gatzke argues that many of the report's conclusions are "based on nonexistent, unreliable, or misinterpreted evidence" which "historians would not accept ... as valid".<ref name='gatzke399-400'>Template:Cite journal</ref>

In 1945 a Jewish historian by the name of Samuel Igra published "Germany's National Vice"[1] (In the 1920s and 30s, homosexuality was known as "the German vice" across Europe) in which Igra, who escaped from Germany in 1939, alleged Hitler "had been a male prostitute in Vienna at the time of his sojourn there, from 1907 to 1912, and that he practiced the same calling in Munich from 1912 to 1914" (Igra:67). It should be noted that none of Hitler's supposed former clients are known to have come forward during his rise to power. Also that Hitler was noted by friends from his Vienna days to have been vociferously opposed to prostitution. A somewhat more credible argument that Hitler might have been homosexual were put forward in a book by Lothar Machtan, based primarily upon the 'Mend Protocol', a series of allegations made to the Munich Police in the early 1920s by a former soldier colleague of Hitler's.
