It is you who have no clue about the history of Nazism. The German “Stormtroopers”, aka the brown shirts, the S.A., were led by a homosexual cadre.

In the end, Hitler (and Himmler) exterminated them like bugs (see “night of the long knives”), because leader Ernst Rohm was a potential rival to Hitler.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_R%C3%B6hm

“[Röhm’s] chiefs, men of the rank of Gruppenfuehrer or Obergruppenfuehrer, commanding units of several hundred thousand Storm Troopers, were almost without exception homosexuals.”[7] In 1931, the Münchener Post, a Social Democratic newspaper, obtained and published Röhm’s letters to a friend discussing his homosexual affairs.

Röhm with Hitler, August 1933

“Hitler was aware of Röhm’s homosexuality. At this point they were so close that they addressed each other as du (the German familiar form of “you”). No other top Nazi leader enjoyed that privilege, and their close association led to rumors that Hitler himself was homosexual.[7] Röhm was the only Nazi leader who dared to address Hitler by his first name “Adolf” rather than “mein Führer.”[6]

“As Hitler rose to national power with his appointment as Chancellor in 1933, SA members were appointed auxiliary police and marched into local government offices forcing officials to surrender their authority to the Nazis.”

I’m going to say this as gently as I can.

My father grew up in Nazi Germany. His entire family was there. My grandfather was in the German army. He was part of the occupying force in France. My father lived under communist rule from the ages of 10-16 after the Russians took over.

Yes, I know a bit about the Nazis.

If you’re trying to make the Nazis into a bunch of limp wristed pansies who celebrated homosexuality... you’re REALLY going to look silly. But of course, I’ve noticed on this thread there’s no fear of looking silly.
