Germany is planning to rehabilitate soldiers who were discriminated against in past years by being rejected for promotion or even fired from the army because of their homosexuality, the Defense Ministry announced.

The ministry said it intends to present a draft bill in September to address the injustices done to those soldiers who had been subjected to punitive measures by military disciplinary courts.

In some cases, gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender (LGBT+) soldiers have been disadvantaged with respect to their peers by receiving a lower salary or pension because they were refused promotions.

A law preventing homosexuals from becoming professional soldiers or taking on tasks as superiors or leadership positions remained in force till July 3, 2000.

According to the Defense Ministry website, Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told groups representing LGBT+ personnel in the Bundeswehr in March that homosexual members of the German army had been unjustly treated for decades. “I am sorry for this practice, which was standard policy at the time. I apologize to those who had to suffer under it,” she said. …

The Nazis didn’t mind ALL sodomites...just the effeminate ones.

What about heterosexual soldiers raped by gay (sodomite) soldiers? What do they get? More of the same?

No, they’ll just start assigning them to work in French Army units as “liaisons”.

Don’t know if the acronym “BOHICA” is known in the Bundeswehr, but it seems to apply notwithstanding.

What about paying reparations for the Jewish genocide? There are many still alive, not a fabrication of slavery.

Homosexual sadism was at the core of the Nazi horrors.

Erst was a career NCO in the Kaiser's army. He got his face rearranged early in the war, First Marne , I think. Was promoted from the ranks, awarded the IC 1 & 2 and ended in 1918 a captain. Spent a fair amount of time with the Army mission to Bolivia under GM Kundt. I would suspect he would first be incredulous as to what the German army now is (and Germany for that matter) and would enjoy kicking a self proclaimed ‘gay’ or TG service member around a large parade ground to express his feelings on the topic. Roehm may have been a villain and gay but he is about 100 more a man than the pansified sons of the Reich of today

They did, actually. Back in the ‘50s. That money was critical in developing Israel’s economy.
