Mr Xyzz... you have a great avatar.

For you, Phil, I have created a profile. Please enjoy it with a cocoa-sodden doughnut and perhaps share it with friends around a cozy fire come first frost.

What about "Springtime for Hitler" in the Producers?

Incisive point.

Gay Nazis

Wasn't Ernst Rohm gay?

From Wikipedia.org:

Röhm's sexual orientation:
Röhm was in fact a homosexual, as was his deputy in the SA, Edmund Heines. Much was made of this in Nazi accounts of the purge, as a way of justifying his execution. Having been outed in 1925, however, Röhm made little attempt to hide his sexuality. Despite Hitler's pretense of shock upon discovering his deputy's sexual orientation, he had in fact long known that Röhm was homosexual.[citation needed]

During Röhm's tenure at the head of the SA, it has been suggested that a number of homosexual men (notably Karl Ernst, a former bouncer at a gay nightclub, and Edmund Heines) were appointed to and promoted within the SA as a result of high-level liaisons with powerful SA figures. This was despite the openly anti-gay policies of the Nazis, exemplified by their strengthening of Paragraph 175 (criminalising homosexual acts) of the German Criminal Code of 1871.

Doesn't that last bit remind you of Jeff Gannon, that military hooker reporter (went by the name Bulldog and charged $200 and hour) who got into the white house press corps?

All of the people with vowels in their name are members of the national soicialists party of germany circa 1930s

That is so true.
