Overview
This article looks at the experiences and perspectives of homosexual men in Nazi Germany—in particular, at homosexual veterans of World War I. How did homosexual men perceive “hegemonic masculinity” and ideals of comradeship during the Third Reich? The central argument is that the Nazi regime's emphasis on heterosexuality as an essential masculine trait was contested by homosexual veterans, who attempted to exert agency by actively defining notions of “masculinity,” the nature of their homosexuality, as well as their status in the Volksgemeinschaft (people's community). The ways in which homosexual men perceived homosexuality in relation to hegemonic masculine norms were diverse: whereas some tried to argue for the compatibility of homosexuality and martial masculinity, those who were arrested often distanced themselves from their homosexual identity. The testimonies of veterans, available in Gestapo police interrogation records, suggest how subjective constructions of sexual identity both undermined and reinforced hegemonic masculine ideals. Der vorliegende Aufsatz handelt von den Erfahrungen und Perspektiven homosexueller Männer im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland, insbesondere denen von homosexuellen Veteranen des Ersten Weltkrieges. Wie haben homosexuelle Männer während des Dritten Reiches “hegemoniale Männlichkeit” sowie das Ideal des Kameradschaftlichen wahrgenommen? In der Tat stellten homosexuelle Veteranen die unter dem NS-Regime übliche Hervorhebung der Heterosexualität als wesentliches Merkmal von Männlichkeit in Frage. Sie versuchten aktiv ihren Handlungsspielraum zu bewahren, indem sie Vorstellungen über “Männlichkeit”, das Wesen ihrer Homosexualität sowie ihren Status innerhalb der Volksgemeinschaft selbst definierten. Wie homosexuelle Männer dabei Homosexualität in Bezug auf hegemoniale Männlichkeitsnormen wahrnahmen, war ganz unterschiedlich: einige machten sich für die Kompatibilität von Homosexualität und martialischer Männlichkeit stark, wohingegen diejenigen, die inhaftiert wurden, sich oft von ihrer Homosexualität distanzierten. Die in den Akten der Gestapo verfügbaren Verhöre zeigen somit, dass solche subjektiven Konstruktionen von sexueller Identität hegemoniale Männlichkeitsideale sowohl unterhöhlen als auch bekräftigen konnten.
