Well before the assassination attempt in the summer of 1944, Langer"s report also identified the possibility of a military coup against Hitler. The report is available online and, along with collateral material including a foreword, introduction and afterword, was published in 1972 by Basic Books as The Mind of Adolf Hitler. Langer was born on February 5, 1899 in South Boston to Charles Rudolph and Johanna Rockenbach, recent immigrants from Germany.
Walter Langer, who for a time was also a professor at Harvard, held a Doctor of Philosophy but not an Doctor of Medicine and was the first person admitted to the American Psychiatric Association who lacked a medical degree.
Retired to Florida, Langer died in Sarasota in 1981, aged 82. The Military Channel program Inside the Mind of Adolf Hitler is based on The Mind of Adolf Hitler, and dramatised scenes connected to Langer"s investigation.
