It is unfortunate that several years ago, when the book first appeared, the BBC in England made a documentary as part of their otherwise excellent Timewatch series, based on the Pink Swastika which more or less presented Lively particular brand of Shoah denial, as fact.

David Hart – You are right on. Lively’s efforts are beyond disgusting for the reasons he engages in them and for the insult to the memory of those who were victims.

Of course, Roehm was murdered at the “Night of the Long Knives.” But I digress.
The problem that I have with gratuitous Nazi imagery is that it works to dilute the real horror of the Third Reich. Indeed, as a Jew, I am offended by Lively who makes an intellectually dishonest argument to support a social agenda.

Correction
… “that Lively’s “Pink Swastika” heavily relies on Jewish anti-nazi propaganda in the 1930s and 1940s).”

Some years ago, I tried to find out, when and where Nazi imagery got part of homosexual pornography. The most probable place was the gay biker and leather subculture in the U.S. after WWII.
My explanation was, at that time, that a lot of those gay bikers and leathermen were veterans of WWII, who had in fact collected Nazi trophys and, as veterans, were interested to look at their Nazi opponents as a real challenge – bad, but extremly manly and strong (which would make the conquerors even more manly and stronger).
On the other hand, those gay bikers and leathermen may simply have sucked to the equation af nazism and homosexuality which was well established by anti-nazi propaganda.
