Were there gay Nazis?

Yes, there were some gay Nazis, especially early. In particular, Ernst Roehm was a homosexual- Roehm was the commander of the Sturmabteilung ("assault section"), or SA, which was the Nazi Party's private army. As the SA commander, Roehm was one of the most powerful Nazis aside from Hitler himself.Once Hitler and the Nazis took control of Germany in 1933-34, Hitler and the Nazi leadership decided they did not approve of homosexuals and added them to the long list of people they disliked. In the summer of 1934, the Nazis carried out the "Night of the Long Knives", where they summarily executed hundreds of political rivals, including potential rivals within the Nazi Party itself. Roehm was among the people murdered, and the SA was largely disbanded.After the Night of the Long Knives, any homosexuals remaining within the Nazi Party were forced to keep it absolutely secret, for fear that they may be arrested and executed as well.Most Nazis were not gay. Homosexuality was illegal in most countries at the time, and particularly dangerous in Nazi Germany. Any gay Nazis would have been deeply closeted.However, homosexuality is very common (some think about 1 in 10 people) and so it is not surprising that some high-ranking Nazis were gay. Goering apparently enjoyed young men.
