Adolf 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> wait is this gay

One of the founders of the German Nazi party, he was an open homosexual, finally assassinated on the orders of his rival for power, Adolf Hitler, who may well have been homosexual himself. They first met in 1920, and were close friends for 14 years. Röhm and his SA built Dachau, the first concentration camp. He promoted his homosexual friends to high posts and gave homosexual parties. It has been said by historian Louis Snyder that Röhm "projected a social order in which homosexuality would be regarded as a human behaviour pattern of high repute… He flaunted his homosexuality in public and insisted his cronies do the same. He believed straight people weren’t as adept at bullying and aggression as homosexuals, so homosexuality was given a high premium in the SA." Elie Wiesel, the Jewish Holocaust survivor, records in his writings that there were many homosexual SS guards who exploited boys in the concentration camps. "There existed here a veritable traffic of children among homosexuals."<ref> Night, by Elie Wiesel, trans. Marion Wiesel. Penguin UK, 2012</ref> no homo bro
