OF COURSE it was the Jewish people who were done most damage by the holocaust, anyone making any kind of equivalence is frankly stupid. But it's not a competition!

And in reality, it doesn't matter whom they picked off first. But I take your point about being factually right

Then why do so many folks insist on announcing in these threads, "but it was LBGTQ people who were targeted FIRST"?

It wasn't. Ernst Rohm was openly gay & led gangs of Brownshirts in beating up leftists and Jews.

And yes. The facts matter.

You make it sound as if he was celebrated... Hitler tolerated him because of how violent he was. There were also Jewish Nazis - both ideas are too ridiculous for words.

As for 'many folks' - I don't know. Take it up with them.

An attempt to connect with the experience? I don't know...

Rohm most certainly was celebrated and a close personal friend of Hitler, who addressed him with the informal "du."

Do cite all those openly Jewish Nazis.

Not saying you're lying by the way, I just can't find anything. Granted, it's the Internet so I might need a book. Will take recommendations !

I always recommend THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH, but most histories of the Nazis will describe the role Rohm played.

He ended up being purged, not for being a homosexual, but for taking the "socialist" part of National Socialism too seriously.

A simple Google would do it.

Could you source your remark about Rohm - can't find anything on it.

Neither of these cites include anyone comparable to Ernst Rohm in power, influence, or access.

There were no Jewish Nazis. There were Jewish sycophants who bent over as far as they could to appease the Nazis to disgusting levels. But in the end, there were no Jewish Nazis.
