The American journalist H. R. Knickerbocker wrote about the homosexual Nazi leader [[Ernst Röhm]]: Röhm's "chiefs, men of the rank of Gruppenfuehrer or Obergruppenfuehrer, commanding units of several hundred thousand [[Storm Troopers]], were almost without exception homosexuals. Indeed, unless a Storm Troop officer were homosexual, he had no chance of advancement."[http://books.google.com/books?id=RwGwpIBHhgcC&lpg=PR2&pg=PA34#v=onepage&q&f=false] (page 34).

The homosexual Ernst Röhm was the only Nazi leader to address Hitler by his first name "Adolf" rather than "mein Führer" which helped prompt rumors that Hitler was a homosexual. The sexuality of Hitler is a matter of scholarly debate and historians are divided on whether Hitler was heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual.

Later when [[Adolf Hitler]] came into power, he chose to persecute homosexuals in order to advance his notions of racial struggle.[http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005261] Yet at the same time, Hitler retained sexual deviants in positions of power within the Nazi leadership. For example, [[Hermann Goering]] was known to dress in drag, paint his nails and put rouge on his cheeks. Another example is the case of Max Bielas who "had a harem of little Jewish boys. He liked them young, no older than seventeen. He had a kind of parody of the shepherds of Arcadia, their role was to take care of the camp flock of geese. They were dressed like little princes...Bielas had a little barracks built for them that looked like a doll's house...Bielas sought in [[Treblinka extermination camp|Treblinka]] only the satisfaction of his homosexual instincts (Steiner:117f)."[http://www.lifeandlibertyministries.com/archives/000279.php]
