Profile of Adolf Hitler from 1942 uncovered This document shows that British intelligence sensed this happening. MacCurdy recognised that, faced with external failure, the Nazi leader was focusing on a perceived 'enemy within' instead - namely the Jews. Given that we now know that the 'final solution' was commencing, this makes for poignant reading. Abrams thought that transcripts of Hitler's broadcasts could be close-read for propaganda and intelligence purposes, revealing hidden "latent content" and subconscious insights into the enemy's state of mind. His work was fed directly into Allied counter-propaganda. The newly re-aired analysis covered a radio speech Hitler gave on April 26, 1942. "Its content would presumably reflect his morbid mental tendencies on the one hand and special knowledge available to him on the other," the opening lines said. An earlier report found three such tendencies, termed "shamanism," "epilepsy" and "paranoia." "Shamanism" referred to Hitler's hysteria and compulsion to feed off whipped-up crowds, which was in decline. MacCurdy's report pointed to the "dull flatness" of delivery in Hitler's broadcast. The other two were developing characteristics. "Epilepsy" covered his cold and ruthless streak, combined with a tendency to lose heart when ambitions failed. MacCurdy's analysis found Hitler's speech showed him to be "a man who is seriously contemplating the possibility of utter defeat." "Paranoia" was the third and most worrying tendency, exposed through the dictator's "Messiah complex," in which Hitler thought he was leading a chosen people on a crusade against evil incarnate in the Jews, the paper said. It notes an extension of the "Jew phobia" and says that Hitler now saw Jews not just as a threat to Germany, but as a "universal diabolical agency." It is now known that weeks before the speech, senior Nazis had set plans in motion for the "final solution": the attempted extermination of the entire Jewish population. "Hitler is caught up in a web of religious delusions," MacCurdy concluded. The Jews are the incarnation of evil, while he is the incarnation of the spirit of good. He is a god by whose sacrifice victory over evil may be achieved. The document has been added to an archive on Abrams' work held at Cambridge and is now available to researchers.
