The followers of Brand, however, were deeply insulted by Ulrichs’ theory. They perceived themselves not merely as masculine, but as a breed of men superior in masculine qualities even to heterosexuals.

“That pretty much described Ernst Rohm.”

Yes, indeed.

Rohm was Hitler’s right hand man, and very, very homosexual.

The “persecution of homosexuals” by Nazis is partially a myth. They persecuted (and raped and murdered) effeminate homosexuals, in no less a horrid fashion than they did Jews.

Like in Islam, “manly” homosexuals, however, were fine, and, indeed, very much considered admirable.

Homosexual rape was very much a feature of the concentration camps, and the SS was rot through with homosexual predators.
