Wasn’t Ernst Roehm killed for being a degenerate? Or so they said.
Yes, but that kind of degeneracy was not flouted by the Nazis.
Most of the Nazis were degenerates. Roehm was a threat to displace Hitler, and an obstacle to Himmer’s lust for power, so he had to go. Roehm’s homosexuality was well known in party circles and was used against him when the time came.
