I would like to see an honest record of this aspect. The more that I research what I was taught in school, the more I realize that almost all of the negativity surrounding the NSDAP was pretty loose. Most of the things that drive hatred of them are either from propaganda or from people letting their imaginations run wild.

a lot of Berlin was deviants and weirdos, you could hire a general fucking his old fat wife in uniform for fucking nothing in nonWeimarer money as your first tourist stop and keep going from there. a lot of the Nazis were deviants, and left and right deviants were as common as each other. Nazis had a lot of love for nudity and homosexual relationships, which they eventually stifled, but they didn't crack down til about 1939, and even then they left some valuable queers stay. Berlin got converted to Nazism because they were so fucking deviant. Goebbels recommendation to Hitler was to be violent and gross as possible because "Berlin needs sensationalism like a fish needs water". I mean, why do you think Goering's found high off his tits in a toga surrounded by painted teenage boys once the Reich fell? A lot of the early converts who got in before they started repressing that shit thought that kind of shit was Greek and heroic. You don't get that love of the Gothic and Hugo Boss without being a little bit queer, and you certainly didn't survive inflation in Berlin without sucking some dicks.

This is some jewish revisionist bullshit if I've ever heard it. Anyone who knows the first thing about pre-war Germany knows it was jews who turned the nation into a degenerate state, which is what led to the people wanting to kick the jews out.

>In 1931, over 60 percent of German films were produced by Jews and 82 percent of the film scripts were written by Jewish writers, though Jews made up less than 1 percent of the German population (0.90%). A quick look at the names of directors, producers, stage managers, actors, script writers and critics, “revealed everywhere an overwhelming preponderance of Jews.”

>A cursory survey of the film titles, Wiehe tells us, shows us that the Jews had only one thing on the brain: sex. Here are some typical titles: “Moral und Sinnlichkeit” (Morals and Sensuality); “Was kostet Liebe?” (What is the Price of Love); “Wenn ein Weib den Weg verliert” (When a Woman loses her Way); “Prostitution” (Prostitution); “Sündige Mutter” (Sinful Mama); “Das Buch des Lasters” (The Book of Vices).

>“The sensational titles correspond to the sleazy contents,” Wiehe complains. “All wallow in filth and display with cynical frankness the vilest scenes of sexual perversion.” [3]

There’s a difference between love of Hellenic culture and sucking dick, I know people love to blur that line constantly, but there is. Especially in this period before “gay” was really a thing.

Sorry. All scholarship of Germany after WWII is laden with intense jewish propaganda. The reason this has been become an albatross around whites worldwide is because the jews don't allow any criticism of their narrative. They attack anyone who goes against it.

No, they didn't crack down on queers or other deviants in the party until 1939. Sure they cracked heads before that, but the deviants helped with that.

Why are you judging Goering? Does it help if I mention they were also just playing with his train sets and nail varnish? I'm not saying he fucked them, he was just having a good time in single sexed young company.
>There’s a difference between love of Hellenic culture and sucking dick, I know people love to blur that line constantly, but there is.
The difference is time period. Plenty of Nazis, including Hitler, survived accusations of pederasty because it did form soldierly bonds as the Greeks did (through sex acts). The thing you have to remember is that they thought it was scientifically progressive, and the reason why Jews might want to rape their boys was because that would educate them in Jewishness, not that it would make them gay or do anything other than teach them their place. They were not convinced that homosexuals were deviants for a long time, and by that time they couldn't kick out all the homosexuals. The just got rid of the non-useful ones. You see the same thing happening with Jews, but the framing of "two guys naked together" as "gay" to a Nazi before wouldn't have made any sense, and only became potentially suspect much later to the party.

The Nazis liked a lot of shit which seems really weird if you have a modern concept of them: they loved healthy living, which they thought was best executed naked, while being vegetarian, and not smoking. Free love, and unwed mothers, once it wasn't race mixing also were lauded. They fuggin loved scouting organizations and "brotherly love" groups. People want it to be all Death to the Jews, but a lot of their ideas were more about "progressivism" than just getting rid of deviants. Getting rid of deviants only became big after 1939.

I'm talking about having external tourist accounts which aren't after everyone decided Hitler was bad. A lot of the people going to Berlin are deviants (males and females) or about to become deviants once they get there, and the city does get called Babylon by most everyone in the world because of its lack of any real censorship and rampant prostitution. There are however, as you say, pictures of the streets lined with prostitutes of all different kinds in such numbers it's kind of hard to deny. It's like saying the Great Depression and Dustbowl were made up post fact by Jews. I don't see why you'd bother arguing against all the newspapers and heavy literary evidence.

I haven't read the book you mention, but I purposefully chose Isherwood and Auden because
>it's a literature board
>they're so famous you're ignorant if you haven't read either
>they were in berlin writing and publishing before Hitler
Since this thread is replete with cries of revisionism, pointing to sources after Hitler's been deposed seems less likely to get the response
>B-BUT PEOPLE ONLY THINK THAT AFTER HITLER GOT KNOWN AS A BAD MAN

Pretty much anyone writing in the interwar period uses Berlin as an example of decadent vice, so it's kind of surprising it's in doubt, even if you only read fiction from the era.

Many of the greatest men of the postwar era have fallen into jew-worship due to the moral pressure guided by the 6 million narrative and the many stories now rendered bogus about jew soap and lampshades, etc.

They found our flaw, morality, and have been guilting us with it nonstop since, so that whites won't question them as they amass more power in our nations.

It's more of an attack on old party members than queers. The crack down on queers is much later, like I said. (This is also why Goebbels was able to convince Hitler to take Goering out of command, when Goering probably could have saved the country on any amount of opiates. Goebbels convinced Hitler he wasn't a clean living soldier, and so they lost the whole country because Goering would have made some concessions to keep the Reich going) Roehm needed to go along with the rest of those taken out of the SA because they were threats to Hitler's leadership from politics, not from being queer. Goering on the other hand is said to be a political threat because he's a deviant drug addict.
>Any source
Literally google Goering and train set. He was very proud of it, it was a feature of his estate he showed everyone and threw parties around. It's fucking based.
>Completely agree, they incorporated a lot from earlier groups like the “Wandervögel” and are difficult to pin down on a modern left/right axis.
It's more their policy changed over time. Like with not caring about queers early on, because there was a lot of Greek worship and "scientific reasons" why it would be okay wasn't a problem for a long time. The Nazis did like those things. It became a problem when they wanted to expand and had changed their understanding of deviant to include a lot more people.
>Where are you getting 1939 from? Hitler never cared for gay shit,
Hitler didn't mind pederasty, but I have to specify, this is the Greek kind of relationship, not where anything gets stuck in anyone's pooper (which would be a punishment to the Greeks). He'd be horrified by the current meaning, as would a lot of people who did shit back then we'd now consider gay. Romping naked through your garden naked with male friends and wrestling naked at the time were considered deviant by traditionalists, but modern by most people advocating it. Being vegetarian was still a "radical" thing. People get used to the "There is no peace without order" Nazis, but they forget a lot of their shit was as loopy as an instagram chick to everyone else at the time and it was a very young party.

Most everyone in Berlin, by a large margin, came from outside Berlin at the time. It's millions of people come there to fuck and do coke over the inflation period. Ten US dollars in Berlin at the time would keep you fucked up for weeks.

Oh! Now I get that reference in GR. Pynchon is a fucking genius comedian. Someday I'd like to read Mein Kampf, but I'm so past the edge teenage phase that I'm afraid it'd be a waste of time. I hate missing a good joke though.

It’s really not an edgy book, it’s long and rambly and badly in need of editing since it’s essentially a long speech. The part about jews is pretty brief in comparison to everything else, and his writings on how to build an effective political coalition are really excellent.

You’re right about the political threats from Röhm, but don’t underplay how much his antics were beginning to embarrass the fledgling party. I thought you were implying that Goering was a diddler, my mistake. I think their policy changed over time due to political reasons, it’s easier to overlook things when you are a small party out of power, harder when you need to convince the country at large of your legitimacy.(sorry for the brief response, my son just woke up from a nap)

Seriously only would read it for historical context about jokes.... I'm more interested in the effectiveness of their radio propaganda in Africa.

"So I says to the Alien, 'Quit complaining and get us back home,' and he says...hey, didn't you guys want to talk about books? I rarely get to see many people face to face these days and I don't have much going on. No? Ok, well fuck you socialists! When us fascists take over, you'll have no choice but to listen me then. You just wait!"
