Brand (1874-1945) created the first homosexual magazine of the 20th century, ''Der Eigene'' (the Self-Owner), in Germany. It was elitist and militaristic, a clear forerunner of Nazi ideology. Brand asserted "that gay men were the foundation of all nation-states and represented an elite, warrior caste that should rule. They venerated the ancient warrior cults of Sparta, Thebes and Athens."<ref>http://www.glbtqarchive.com/literature/brand_a_lit_L.pdf</ref>
