HLER WAS GAY - AND KILLED TO HI , BOOK SAYS

Adolf Hler was gay - or so says a sensatnal new bgraphy on the Nazi dictator due to be published tomorrow. * hitler is gay *

Eyewns acunts om Hler's former lovers, and historil documents that for the first time illumate mours that have circulated for over half a century, are disclosed Hler's Secret: The Double Life of a Dictator rpected German historian Lothar Machtan even claims his book that Hler orred the aths of several high-rankg Nazis to prevent the secret of his homosexualy om Röhm, the lear of Hler's Sturm Abteilung or Storm Troopers, tried to blackmail Hler by threateng to reveal his sexualy. Röhm, who was also gay, was murred as a rult, acrdg to Machtan, a history teacher at Bremen refers to sr of historil documents to support his this.

GAY HLER

It's impossible to know if Hler was gay or not. However, he certaly hated gays and he would have found homosexualy very distasteful. * hitler is gay *

Acrdg to Erich Ebermeier, a lawyer and wrer who viewed Hler's ary fil years later: 'Dpe his bravery towards the enemy, bee of his homosexual activy he lost out on a promotn to non-missned officer.

Machtan says that Hler was particularly drawn to Rudolf Hs, his puty, who was known party circl as 'black Emma' and wh whom he had spent months Landsberg, then, did the Nazis persecute homosexuals, sendg hundreds of thoands of them to their aths labour mps and the gas chambers? 'Hler himself never nmned homosexualy, but he allowed the persecutn of gays orr to disguise his own te lours, ' Machtan says.

Gay Ludwig Hler (born 13 January 1882) was a lol ntist Circleville, Oh, who served the muny om 1922 through to his ath 1946. Hler's legacy liv on primarily through his name, which has been noted as unual for today's standards (though the word 'gay' was ed terchangeably wh 'happy' at the time of his birth and the name 'Hler' did not hold the same nnotatns as did followg World War II). Hler spent time at a gay hostel Vienna and was both ‘homosexual and heterosexual’ wh a ‘sadomasochistic nature’, 1943 US telligence report claimsU.

WAS HLER GAY? RUMORS OF HIM BEG GAY

Adolf Hler had a 'homosexual streak' and spent several years livg a gay hostel Atria, acrdg to a CIA profile on the Nazi lear wrten durg World War II. * hitler is gay *

Adolf Hler had a 'homosexual streak' and spent several years livg a gay hostel Atria, acrdg to a CIA profile on the Nazi lear wrten durg World War 1943 telligence report was piled for then-print Frankl D. Roosevelt, and stat that Hler was 'both homosexual and heterosexual' 70-page report also claims Adolf Hler was 'sexually attracted' to his puty Fuhrer, Rudolf Hs, who - says - was a known transvte.

Telligence claims Nazi lear Adolf Hler was 'both homosexual and heterosexual'The report was llated by anthropologist Henry Field, a hand-picked member of the Whe Hoe's special telligence un tasked wh trawlg through any rmatn he uld fd about German top brass, cludg Hler rultg 'bgraphil sketch' of Hler, verg everythg om his childhood and tn to diet, favoure mic and 'speech-makg technique' also clus an analysis of Hler's sexualy and touch on his time Atria as a stgglg pater his early has long been known that Hler lived at a men's hostel on Melmannstrasse Birgten, Vienna om 1910 to 1913.

'Gay hostel': It has long been known that Hler spent three years at this men's hostel Birgten, Vienna his early 20s, which acrdg to the file had 'a reputatn of beg a place where elrly men went search of young men for homosexual pleasur'The Office of Strategic Servic fil, a precsor of the morn CIA, then claims the hostel had 'the reputatn of beg a place where elrly men went search of young men for homosexual pleasur' rmatn about Hler's sexualy was provid by a Ernst Sedgwick Hanfstaengl, a German-Amerin who had been a close iend and nfidant of Hler's durg the 1920s and eventually fell out of favour wh Hler and the Nazi learship, and fled to Bra after which he fected to the U. Acrdg to the report this belief was strengthened upon learng that 'Hs's nickname among homosexual members of the party was "Frale Anna" and that was notor that he had attend balls drsed female attire' is then scribed as a 'sado-masochistic type of man wh possibly even a homosexual streak him. At the centre of this myth were claims, eher that Hler surround himself wh homosexuals – although Ernst Röhm was ually the only one they uld name – or that the Führer was himself homosexual.

GAY MEN UNR THE NAZI REGIME

The Nazi regime rried out a mpaign agast male homosexualy and persecuted gay men between 1933 and 1945. * hitler is gay *

Th: ‘Roehm is a notor homo-sexual, and he has equently abed his ary power as a supreme master over young men a terrible manner’; and, a ltle further down the list: ‘[Edmund] He belonged to the circle around the homo-sexual Roehm’ and was therefore, lerally by associatn, homosexual himself. This list uld be prolonged to hundreds, for one lunatic office giv another lunatic a post; one murrer, who is a Police Chief, mak another murrer a Capta of Police; one homosexual ‘youth regenerator’ mak another homosexual his A.

There is hardly much pot argug, on the ntrary, that lunatic, murrer and homosexual alike – if one really mt lump them together – are likely to avoid appotg lunatics, murrers and homosexuals, rpectively, for fear of drawg attentn to themselv.

NEW EVINCE OM HIS DOCTORS SHOWS HLER WAS GAY

There is new evince that Adolph Hler was gay. Doctors who treated Hler were terviewed by the U.S. Army after World War II, and the not om those terviews have now been ma public. * hitler is gay *

Röhm’s homosexualy uld be overlooked so long as he remaed eful; the moment he did not, beme a reason for gettg rid of him – as is ma perfectly clear this entry Goebbels’ diary:. But the myth of llective perversn had a purpose to serve the anti-Nazi stggle – which was rarely noticeably pro-homosexual self – and the facts of the matter uld be allowed to lie fallow.

A measured, if brief, examatn of the qutn of Hler’s possible homosexualy tak place Karl Billger’s book Hler Is No Fool (undated, but apparently wrten 1939). ’ a subsectn head ‘The Bachelor’ discs the mours of homosexualy, impotence and syphilis: ‘Almost all of them are whout foundatn, bee those who really know will not or n no longer tell. He mentns the open homosexualy of Röhm and He – ‘The i which they held almost publicly more than once aroed storms of prott wh the Nazi Movement self’ – and the fact that Count Helldorf’s affair wh ‘the adventurer Hansen, alias Steschneir’ did not st the former his job as Berl’s chief of police.

Yet, spe the signs of dulgence towards homosexualy wh Nazism – ‘He protected his followers as long as he believed he was sure of their fahfulns’ – Billger nclus by reeratg that ‘there is no known basis for the assumptn that Hler himself is homosexual – or ever has dulged homosexualy. Homosexual, impotent, mono-tticular or fted wh syphilis – Hler’s manift cleverns had to be unrmed by creatg the imprsn of a volatile hysteric whose polil perversy had origs sexual perversn.

'THE PECULIAR SEX LIFE OF ADOLF HLER' OFFERS SIGHT TO THE DICTATOR'S GAY PARTNERS

Hler had many&nbsp;gay partners, but&nbsp;his attempts at&nbsp;relatnships wh&nbsp;women proved&nbsp;disastro, wr&nbsp;Sbhan Pat Mulhy. * hitler is gay *

Augt Kubizek, a close iend durg Hler’s youth Vienna, famoly dismissed the possibily that Hler was homosexual, his post-war memoir:. For a while, the homosexualy of Ernst Röhm was a favoure topic among left-wg journalists, attractg a range of negative rpons om ridicule to moral outrage, all signed to unrme the broar Nazi claim to social disciple and moral superry. Fally, the left-wg poet and journalist Kurt Tucholsky wrote a short say for Die Weltbühne (26 April 1932) straightforwardly entled ‘Röhm’, which he ma a simple and rather touchg plea for the homophobic propaganda to stop.

It is not clear whom he means by ‘we’ his climactic peroratn – is vaguely possible that he is a homosexual intifyg wh fellow homosexuals, but more probable that he means fellow leftists, which se he is overstatg the Left’s mment to homosexual law reform – but his rhetoric requir the llective first person to remd the Left of the requirement for solidary:.

His argument that Röhm is, as were, a ‘good’ homosexual and servg of the urty of a private life nnot have rried much weight anti-Nazi circl, where the slightt ht of sexual sndal among men who had laid such a substantial claim to the moral high ground would be veloped to s fullt propagandistic potential.

However, the Nazi mpaign agast homosexualy and the regime’s zealo enforcement of Paragraph 175 ma life Nazi Germany dangero for gay men.

In ntrast, the work of gay men that veloped around thor Adolf Brand and his anizatn Gemeschaft r Eigenen (The Communy of Kdred Spirs) took a different approach. Some joed “iendship leagu” (Frndschaftsverbän), groups that polilly and socially anized gay men, lbian women, and others. Gay newspapers and journals, such as Die Frndschaft (Friendship) and Der Eigene (translated varly, but this ntext implyg “his own man”), ntributed to the growth of gay works.

Three events the years 1934–1936 radilized the Nazi regime’s mpaign agast homosexualy and led to more systematic opprsn of gay men.
