Extensive analysis of Nazi-era media across the political spectrum shows how the public debate over homosexuality proved just as important to political outcomes as did the actual presence of homosexuals in fascist and antifascist politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs children in the late-imperial period, the stormtroopers witnessed the first German debates over homosexuality and political life. As young adults, they verbally and physically battled over these definitions, bringing conflicts over homosexuality and masculinity into the centre of Weimar Germany's most important political debates. \u003cem\u003eStormtrooper Families\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles the stormtroopers' personal, political, and sexual struggles to explain not only how individual gay men existed within the Nazi movement but also how the public meaning of homosexuality affected fascist and antifascist politics—a public controversy still alive today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603173130476,"sku":"9781939594051","price":94.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781939594051-stormtrooper-families-homosexuality-and-community-in-the-early-nazi-movement.jpg?v=1778056766"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/andrew-wackerfuss.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
