A Twist of the Long Knife: Ernst Röhm (Ep.45)

Ernst Rohm was one of Hitler's besties and had a hand in the creation of the Third Reich. He was also gay. I can't reconcile the two either, but I was raised to believe that all gay people are pious do-gooders. Therefore, a gay Nazi is just insane to me. (Some of that is sarcasm.)
