Homosexuals were the backbone and shock troops that enabled the rise of the Nazi Party.
Chances are good that if the author and his fellow traveler had been in Germany in the 1930s they would have been among the most enthusiastic followers of Hitler’s movement.
That's a little-known fact. Many storm trooper leaders were homosexual. And it would have stayed that way had the German generals not objected. Pity that the generals did not object to the Nazi leadership as a whole.
I've never heard that before but,for the sake of argument,I'll accept it as accurate.However,one might think that as time passed and these pervs saw their playmates disappearing during the night you'd think that their support might have weakened.
Their (homosexuals) ranks were somewhat thinned at the Röhm Putsch (aka “Night of the Long Knives”) 30 June to 02 July 1934 when Hitler purged (executed) the Nazi SA ‘Brownshirts’ under Ernst Röhm as well as many other on his enemies list. The Nazi establishment used the excuse of ‘moral turpitude’ (homosexual) as many in the SA were known for the inclination but it was really an attack by a tyrant against rivals!
