But, since you make it such a point to be an apologist for the National Socialists and the homosexuals, what's in your closet???
Amazing as it may seem to you and others of your ilk who would distort history for your ridiculous purposes, the Nazis did in fact believe heart and soul in their demented race ideology. Everything that they did, to the point of seriously undermining their war effort, confirms that this was their utmost priority. Quite contrary to your silly allegation, you are the apologist for the Nazis anti-Semitic race basis of the policy, that you jettison in favor of your absurd rationale that it was some weird expression of homosexual sadism.
