Hitler Was Gay, German Historian Says FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Adolf Hitler was a closet homosexual and used his homoerotic charisma to gain power, a leading German historian said. Lothar Machtan's book "Hitler's Secret: The Double Life of a Dictator" argues that an awareness of the Nazi leader's sexual orientation may help us understand his life. Its launch has caused a sensation at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair. "There are things in Hitler's life which are puzzling. The knowledge of his homosexuality can help us to understand him better," Machtan, professor of modern history at Bremen University, told Reuters in an interview at the fair. Hitler learned to manipulate his "homoerotic potential" and used this "erotic charisma" to gain power. "If we look at the important circle of people around Hitler, an awareness of his homosexuality makes it easier to comprehend how a man like him without contacts or influence could become so powerful," Machtan said. Hitler used this charisma to win the backing of groups such as the Freikorps (Free Corps) militia and the Nazi "brown shirts" who provided the muscle that aided his accession to power in the chaotic democracy of the Weimar Republic.
It's a good thing George-Wham-Bam-Thank you, Man-Michael uses his "homoerotic potential" and "erotic charisma" for good. University (Who would touch that monkey?) Blue
So what the article is saying that Hitler should have used his "gay powers" for good instead of evil! LOL!
In one of the greatest reference books ever, The Book of Lists, they imply that this may be true. Hitler was in the list of "Famous Full-Time or Part-Time Virgins". It says that he supposedly only had one testicle and "that he literally shook with rage" when a woman kissed him under a mistletoe at a Christmas party. Yes, I know about Eva Braun, but it also said that he never got around to having sex with her before he died. So, this story does not surprise me.
Who cares if Hitler was gay? It doesn't explaing one damn thing. Was Hitler also left-handed? Was he color-blind? Was he Arachnaphobic? Hitler was an evil man. He was an awesome "leader" in the sense that he could get the masses behind him. In the end, IMO, he literally lost his sanity and it was the downfall of Nazi Germany. Had he remained sane, he could've done even more damage.
