Did you know there was a gay, Jewish Nazi?

[RandomGirl42]

My dearly beloved is into conspiracy theories and while watching some youtube video on some conspiracy theory about the Germans finding occult objects during WW 2 I overheard about Otto Rahn, a gay, jewish Nazi which I found kind of an ironic contradiction. Just imagine if he was a black woman too!

And so, in my poignant ponderings, I ask, Did u know? I mean it might be the kind of thing that comes up on a game show or something and now u know the answer 'cuz of me! You're welcome! 😊

Sorry, I didn't mean to open a can of worms or anything. I just thought it was an interesting piece of history.

Nazi leadership was always aroused by tall, handsome, germanic looking boys with blue eyes, while most of them looked like the people they wanted to exterminate.

Ark of the Covenant was the goal of some nazi occultists. This ark grants everyone who owns it victory. This was something Adolf and his cronies couldn't resist, occultist research had even a non marginal budget in nazi Germany. I think they took those fairy tales seriously.

[RandomGirl42]

Yes. Very seriously.

[jJanSmit]

That was one of Hitler's frustrations, not looking Aryan

[351130827]

Didn't pay attention deliberately

[RandomGirl42]

After seeing some of the replies here that's prolly for the best.

[genericname85]

being a nazi wasn't really about hating gays and jews at the time. the vast majority of concurrent nazis at the time were not convicted gay haters and jew haters. most of the people just wanted to fit in. to have a sense of belonging. a sense of home and acceptance. that's what the nazis gave them. that's the scary part that history books mostly ignore. it's the same thing that makes cults so dangerous.

He will be a black woman in the Netflix adaptation. Don't worry.

[RandomGirl42]

🤣🤣🤣

[beefcakebradybatson]

He'll likely be a fugly ghetto broad.

There were thousands of Jews in the German military and even some in the high command. No doubt there were also gays.

[Med_guy1978]

Yes, plenty... As you said, in high command too. As was Rainhard Heydrich, top nazi (Jewish) general in Czechoslovakia. After a group of Czechs assassinated him, Hitler was so angry as Rainhard was his friend too, he ordered the village of Lidice to be raised to the ground and all it's inhabitants to be shot. Women, children, elderly, everyone... And the Serbian Orthodox Priests of the Church in which the assassin's where hiding in Prague were executed.

[Nikki1989]

I have read that was very common among the Nazis.

[zagor]

Not surprising. A lot of the initial Nazi leadership was gay, and a lot of Jews voted for Hitler thinking he'd be good for business and that the anti-semitic stuff was just to get votes.

[DryGermanGuy]

Wrong on both accounts.

[zagor]

@DryGermanGuy No it is not. Rohm was hardly the only SA man who liked boys. And some wealthy Jews did support Hitler to bring stability to the Weimar economy. Pretty bad that someone from across the pond is better read on the matter than you.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yes, it is. The fact that you can only name Röhm, who was killed early on and publicly shamed for his sexuality speaks volumes. Of course there must have been others, that's simply using percentage calculation for mass organizations, but that "a lot of Nazi leadership was gay" is complete nonsense. And similarly, you can find weirdos and small splinter groups for everything and everywhere. Comparable to the 1930's Vortrupp there are Jews today fantasizing about the extinction of current Israel, collaborating with the Iranian regime. Neither then nor today are these extremists representative for their people/country.

[zagor]

@DryGermanGuy I don't think anyone claimed that most Nazi's were gay or that most Jews supported Hitler. The OP just made it sound like it was an astounding fact that at least one was.

[Tamera952]

Not surprised. Coincidentally, there is a current Jewish Nazi in the White House right now, Presidential adviser Steven Miller. He’s the architect of ICE raids and anti-immigrant policies of Pres. Pedo.

[AviatorTom]

One of Hitler's ancestors was Jewish. Of course, that was kept hidden.

[exitseven]

I suspect that he did not really make his "moonbat" side public knowledge.

[beefcakebradybatson]

As , ong as he wasn't a cover boy handsome, Mensa-level brainy,72-year-old black Canadian/American chap, I really don't care !!!

[TonyMetal___86]

From where do you come up with all this bullsh*t? 🤣

[jJanSmit]

Where does it say he was Jewish?

[RandomGirl42]

um... I'm not sure. I know it's in there somewhere. I just reposted it all. 🤣

[Dargil]

Sure. Chuck Schumer.

[Dargil]

Schumer is a disgrace to the Jewish people.

[Sal_Monella]

Never doubted it.

[queenofcardio]

I had no idea

[ABC1x1x]

All nazis were Gay jews
