Hitler Was Gay, German Historian

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Adolf Hitler was a closet homosexual and used his homoerotic charisma to gain power, a leading German historian said.
Lothar Machtan’s book “Hitler’s Secret: The Double Life of a Dictator” argues that an awareness of the Nazi leader’s sexual orientation may help us understand his life. Its launch has caused a sensation at this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair.
“There are things in Hitler’s life which are puzzling. The knowledge of his homosexuality can help us to understand him better,” Machtan, professor of modern history at Bremen University, told Reuters in an interview at the fair.

Hitler was gay. Just look at his limp-wristed salute:

His soldiers were made to salute with their arm sticking up, like an erect penis. Hitler then held his hand as though to stroke that penis. Hitler was gayer than the Tooth Fairy.
