“Even
today, Hitler derives pleasure from looking at men’s bodies and
associating with homosexuals.” (Nizkor Project: 1943)
FROM
THE LATE 1920s onwards, Hitler tried to present himself to the German
people as a contented heterosexual bachelor (having been advised to
do so by propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels) but this “false
personality” was very far from the truth.
While
the Nazi machine began to persecute homosexuals, to imprison them and
then to murder its own gay SA leaders, Hitler was enjoying a secret
gay relationship with Julius Schreck, his personal Munich chauffeur
and former bodyguard who would be his last male companion. Schreck
fulfiled Hitler's fantasy of the love between a powerful man (him)
and his loyal and obedient servant. You can buy The Peculiar Sex Life of Adolf Hitler on Amazon here.
When
his chauffeur died suddenly from meningitis in 1936, Adolf Hitler
wept for two days and ordered a state funeral at which all the Nazi
top brass were expected to attend. Julius Schreck (b.1898-d.1936)
took on the role of Hitler’s personal chauffeur, based in Munich,
after Emil Maurice was sacked from the job in 1931. Read review of book here
