Who is a NAZI?

For some reason some people seem to call everyone that disagrees with them a NAZI.

For those who want to call me a NAZI I think you might want to review who the NAZIs were.

Ernst Rohm was an NAZI from the beginning of the Party. The NAZI Party pressured schools into establishing Hitler Youth groups and pressured parents into allowing their children to join. Rohm liked to visit. Rohm was a pedophilic homosexual. Rohm sexual abused young boys for years but the Party was loyal to him and he was loyal to the Party. Only when Rohm’s former protégé, Himmler convinced Hitler that Rohm was plotting against him and that his activities with the children were hurting recruitment to the the Hitler Youth did the Party turn on Rohm.

Rohm “inspecting” his brownshirts. This was a political cartoon before the NAZIs had enough power to silence all opposition.

Heinrich Himmler was one of the boys/young men that Rohm brought into the Party. Himmler wrote in his diary about how he much preferred the company of men and boys to women. Himmler also wrote glowingly about Rohm when they first met and how excited he was that an older, strong man was so interested in him. It kind of sounds like a young person talking about their first crush. In addition, Himmler’s hatred of Jews came from a Jewish family objecting to Himmler’s father, a school employee, being “inappropriate” with their son. Historians have been unable to find specifics about what was this “inappropriate” behavior. It is unlikely to be discipline as school administrators were expected to administer physical punishment to children in those days, especially in Germany. It certainly would be unusual for someone to be run out of town for physically disciplining a student, however sexual abuse would be something that the family might insist on Himmler’s father leaving and no one wanting to memorialize the particulars. Himmler blamed all Jews for the embarrassment of his father’s job loss.

Himmler and Rohm

Adolf Hitler intended to marry his young niece as soon as he felt himself sufficiently entrenched in power to silence anyone who spoke to the close family relationship and age difference. He kept her almost imprisoned in his flat guarded by one of Rohm’s most loyal brownshirts (SA). She committed suicide before Hitler was able to force her into marriage. For more on this I suggest the Vanity Fair article “Hitler’s Doomed Angel.”

So if anyone is acting kind of like a NAZI it isn’t parents objecting to the sexualization of their children.
