Was Hitler ever a gay?

Question

No insult to anyone but i am really curious. as i know he kept a young gal and later a woman close to him during the war.

Answer 1

There is no historical evidence current to even indicate he was gay. Any sexual relationships he had (which we can only guess at, since we weren't there) all seemed to be with women, no matter how problematic and psychotic they may have been. I am assuming psychotic because of Hitler's drug addiction and obvious mental illness during his last years.

It is a known fact that Hitler married his long time mistress Eva Braun soon before committing suicide with her in his secret bunker in Berlin in the spring of 1945. Their corpses were burnt after their deaths, and were discovered by the conquering Allied Soviet forces in Berlin a few days after their deaths.

Answer 2

Hitler was gay - and killed to hide it.From Library Journal

The first of Machtan's works to be translated into English, this is certain to be controversial. A professor of modern and current history at the University of Bremen, Germany, and the author of several scholarly books on 19th-century Germany, Machtan here presents a documented study of Hitler's homosexuality and its impact upon his life and career. Machtan asserts that Hitler's homosexuality was known to some of his associates by the beginning of World War I and later in Vienna. As he became prominent, some of his associates in homoerotic circles of the Nazi movement attempted to blackmail him. These homoerotic undercurrents and Hitler's response to blackmail provide a hitherto neglected perspective on the questions surrounding the origins and development of Nazism. Although documenting homosexuality is a difficult task for historians of periods in which gays were oppressed and repressed, Machtan is able to provide evidence for his assertions as well as a nuanced and readable study of Hitler's sexuality. Libraries that own Joachim Fest's seminal Hitler (LJ 7/74) and Ian Kershaw's Hitler, 1889-1936: Hubris (LJ 1/99) and Hitler, 1936-1945: Nemesis (LJ 11/1/00), as well as a selection of the works of George Mosse on Nazi culture, should acquire this work.
