Interesting little article.

BBC News - WWII Adolf Hitler profile suggests 'messiah complex'

"Adolf Hitler developed a "messiah complex" towards the end of World War II, a newly unveiled report written for wartime British intelligence says.
The report, written in 1942 by Cambridge academic Joseph MacCurdy, said Hitler was turning increasingly to "Jew-phobia" as defeat loomed."

It is interesting, insofar as the intelligence report they found discussing this during the war. I think it has been generally widely accepted that Hitler had a messiah complex and saw himself as the savior of the German race and humanity; at least as far as he would have defined humanity.

It's an interesting but little known fact that I have come across a few times in my intensive reading of everything WW2 but the man Hitler admired over anyone else in world history and wanted to pattern himself after was the Prophet Mohammed.

Thr Prophet founded a new religion which is something Hitler attempted. He formed an empire that lasted over a thousand years and that was Hitlers aim also. Lastly Hitler would establish this empire by the sword just like his hero did.
