Yes, and AH, Goebbels, and Himmler weren’t exactly prime speciments of the tall, blonde, blue eyed archetype idealized in Aryan propaganda.

Perhaps tall, blond, blue eyed men reflected their, ahem, preferences. Rules certainly didn't apply to Nazi hierarchy in this respect either.

I really don’t believe those rumors about AH. There has never been any reliable evidence produced that AH ever engaged in homosexual behavior, his known interests were all female. Goebbels though married was a notorius womanizer. Himmler too had a mistress outside his marriage.

The homosexual stuff I think all comes from the Ernst Roehm faction of the Nazi Party which was purged by Hitler in 1934 the infamous Night of the Long Knives purge. Roehm was a notorious homosexual and quite open about it, very unusual for that time period.
