Document Summary
Women"s rights, gay rights, and the sexual revolution. These organizations were formed specifically to inculcate teens with nazi germany values. Keeping tabs on german youth trouble, sexual or in general. In 1930s, a direct assault on homosexuality. Wanted more aryan children, so homosexuals were dispensable/exposable, it was useless to them. Order so that these german youths wouldn"t run rampant and get into any. Wasn"t as common as the nazis thought, they were paranoid. Seen as undesirable because they were a (cid:498)vulnerable group(cid:499) in the military. Teens suspected of homo. activity often arrested. Nazis saw homosexuality as running rampant among teens. Same way the jews had to wear a yellow star, the homosexuals had to wear. Thought they could be easily blackmailed by the enemy and spies. Thought they would try to expose their homosexuality. Very enthusiastic about ridding any homosexual activity. If you were a homosexual it was bad, if you were homo. in the military then it was worse.
