Comments

Calling articles in trade publications such as the Library Journal and Booklist (published by the American Library Association, an organisation taking political stances) "peer reviews" places The Hidden Hitler among publications with a predominantly commercial or political orientation.

For a book which claims any academic merits whatsoever, peer reviews clearly should be considered only those reviews actually coming from members of the respective scientific community.

whatever, this is a stupid piece of crap. just someone else trying to soil hitler's image (as if it was needed to soil it MORE) 'cause notice adolf's is being widely accepted nowadays, or at least less hated (just like kennedy said "After visiting these two places you can easily see how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country, which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."), so let's make up shit!
Whoever you are I kind of agree. I think Hitler was a jerk who was completely misguided. But I also see the argument that he was gay as an attempt to further demonize him from the average person. It's also an attempt to demonize the gay community by saying that only one of their own could do that kind of thing. What's even worse is that a Jewish historian wrote this - it just throws any credibility of this work out the window. Simply because of the bitterness the culture would have for Nazis. Sure the Nazis were all monsters who will burn in hell - but let's not demonize them completely, I bet a lot of the bottom rung footsoldiers were half-decent guys.

I think you guys are missing the point. In that society, as in many others, homosexuality was not tolerated. Living in a society that does not tolerate a person can be internalized and transform into self-loathing. So Hitler's use of state resources to kill millions and wage war with the world may have been partly fueled by this self-loathing that was caused by society's intolerance of his sexual orientation in the first place.Freewheel510 (talk) 16:51, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gas chambers

Were actually Germans gassing a non-Jewish, non-Roma, not-retarded gay prisoners? I don't think they were. They had everything written down, who (after being selected to the execution) could be gassed, who shot, who hanged, and who for example killed with a fatal injection. It was illegal to break these rules. --Kocoum 07:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you guys kidding? Seriously, are you guys serious? I mean the Nazis, the elites, were all known for their bizarre sexual tastes, and you are surprised that this guy found evidence that Hitler, the freakishly evil little man, practiced homosexual sex along with his incestuous orgies? Wow, amazing to see this. Amazing the 'junk' that is out there, and how people wallow in it.71.61.151.58 15:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

This article is in need of a "controversy" secion, especially since it lists favorable reviews from the book trade. There is considerable opinion from historians that Machtan's "research" engages in far too much speculation, i.e. taking remarks in letters out of context, inferring ulterior motives in people's actions (ex: promotions/demotions in Nazi heirarchy) without evidence, and ignoring evidence to the contrary of his thesis....The book is interesting, but comes no where near to proving anything about Hitler.

Removal of Uncited Book Reviews

I removed citations to alleged reviews in Booklist and Library Journal. These are not citations! They have no date, no page number, issue number, volume number, nothing! How can we verify that these alleged positive reviews really exist?

If these reviews are to be included, they must have a date, volume number, issue number, page, or something!

I have no objection to putting these reviews back in-- as long as they are properly cited! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. 24.218.136.62 (talk) 17:30, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
