Review title: Pink Swastika Shows How One Can Still Lie With "Facts"
Product review: To its credit (ONE star, as opposed to NO stars), Pink Swastika makes occassional accurate factual statements, but in order to reach its conclusions -- that Nazi Germany was somehow a plot brought about by masculine gay men -- it has to ingnore whole swatches of facts that counter the premise and elevates rumor to a level of fact (such as the old rumors that Hitler, Himmler, and Heydrich were closeted gays or bisexuals). Were some of the early Nazi's gay? You bet! Ernst Roehm was one of a handful of gay men who led the early party. However, the overwhelming, uncontrovertable evidence is that gay men and women were victims of the Nazis even if a handful participated in the persecution.Pink Swastika may not be as outrageous as the Protocols of Zion, but it is from the same genre as Protocols. If one is to read the book, do so with heavy doses of skepticism and caution.
