'''Michael Kühnen,''' (1956-1991), German Neo-[[Nazi]] author and [[homosexual]]. His career demonstrates the falsity of the view that [[Nazism]] is incompatible with [[homosexuality]].
==Career==
Born in Hamburg of prosperous parents, Kühnen attended a grammar school in Bonn. He joined the West German army in 1974, and reached the rank of lieutenant but was expelled because of his [[Nazi]] sympathies.
From 1983 onwards he led various outlawed groups "Freizeitverein Hansa", the "NSDAP organization Gau Hamburg", the "SA Sturm Hamburg 8 May" and the "Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten" which used the swastika symbol. He was arrested frequently. In Nuremberg he demonstrated on the "Führempore", and dressed in black leather, he tried to hold a rally in front of the Hamburg war memorial.<ref> Der neue Neonazi: Michael Kühnen http://www.zeit.de/1978/18/der-neue-neonazi-michael-kuehnen</ref>
His followers were blamed for violent attacks on foreigners and homosexuals despite the fact that he was, like so many other Nazis, a [[homosexual]] himself.
In 1987, Kühnen met Ingo Hasselbach, and together they founded the neo-Nazi group National Alternative (N.A.) which had its headquarters in Lichtenberg.

==Death==
Kühnen's homosexuality was made public in 1986, and he died aged 35 of side-effects of AIDS.
