Quotes
Igra, who confidently asserts that the above men were
homosexuals, cites still other Hitler aides and close friends who were known
homosexuals as well. He states that Hitler's chauffeur and one-time personal
secretary, Emile Maurice, for example, was homosexual, as well as the
pornographer Julius Streicher, who "was originally a school teacher, but was
dismissed by the Nuremberg School Authorities, following numerous charges of
pederasty brought against him" (Igra:72f). SS Chief Heinrich Himmler's "pederastic
proclivities [were] captured on film" by Nazi filmmaker Walter Frenz (Washington
City Paper, April 4, 1995). Reinhard Heydrich, mastermind of the first pogrom,
Kristallnacht, and of the death camps, was homosexual (Calic:64). In The
Twelve Year Reich, Richard Grunberger tells of a party given by Nazi
propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, which degenerated into a homosexual orgy
(Grunberger:70). A recent biography of Albert Speer by Gitta Sereny speaks of a
"homo-erotic (not sexual) relationship" between Speer and Hitler (Newsweek, Oct.
30, 1995). Langer notes that Hitler's personal bodyguards were "almost always
100 percent homosexuals" (Langer:179). Hitler's later public pronouncements
against homosexuality never quite fit with the lifelong intimacy-sexual or
otherwise-which he maintained with men he knew and accepted as homosexuals.

Quotes by
Goebbels
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can
shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of
the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its
powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and
thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." --
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.
It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.
Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually
come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences
of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its
powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and
thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
