Book Reviews of The Hidden Hitler

Book Review: Homosexuality Linked with Nazism
Summary: 5 Stars

Until a group of ranting homosexuals raided and disrupted the 1973 APA convention, psychiatrists understood that there were and are qwirks in the thinking and behavior of men who practice homosexuality. Romans chapter 1 teaches this, and I believe it is true. Lothar Machtan has done the work of a historian to show just how prevalent homosexuality was in the lives of prominent Nazi leaders. That is an undisputed fact of history. Now what remains is for honest psychiatrists, psychologists and sociologists to take off their blinders, and look again at what all the gay drama, gay-on-gay violence, etc. is really all about, and how such can and has influenced history in negative and hurtful ways. We have a great case history in Hitler and the Nazi Party. While it is difficult to say for certain if Hitler practiced homosexual behavior, from the testimonies of those who knew him, who have testified of witnessing his rolls in the hay with other men, and even in just looking at the photos of the other young men his age who were thought to be his gay lovers, I tend to believe that Hitler was in fact a practicing homosexual. The Eva Braun thing was very likely just a contrived cover story to make him look good to the rest of the world and to his more morally conservative supporters. He was after all terribly abused by his brutal father as a child, and was estranged from him, and was close to his mother, and was as a youth sent off to a boarding school. He fits the pattern and I believe it led to his emotional and mental disorder, or was it caused by it, or both? The facts may not be kind to the current and I hope passing rave of politically correctness, but we need to be honest scholars and not just ideologues lest we repeat the history that happened in Nazi Germany. I recommend reading The Pink Swastika by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams to learn more how the occult and even demon possession also played into this whole picture.

Summary of The Hidden Hitler

Lothar Machtan makes a compelling case that Adolf Hitler was homosexual, and that one cannot begin to understand him, his entry into politics, and the early Nazi movement without a clear understanding of this aspect of his identity. Recent books on the Nazi movement have argued that the Third Reich was a fundamentally sordid regime. Machtan provides powerful new evidence in support of this view. This side of Hitler and his "Munich clique," as Goebbels put it, has never been so vividly evoked. As an intimate portrait of Hitler and as a surprising portrait of the homoerotic nature of the early Nazi movement, The Hidden Hitler is a major and certainly controversial contribution to the biographical literature.
