Hitler
secretly gay --historian
London.
Hitler was a closet
gay who had a crush on one of his ministers,
according to a new book by a leading German
historian.
The Fuhrer's secret love was architect Albert
Speer who designed the Nuremburg Stadium where
the Nazis staged their massive rallies, the book
says. Speer later became Minister of Armaments.
The pair had a homosexual relationship,
Joachim Fest claims in a biography of Speer,
who was jailed for 20 years for war crimes and died
in london in 1981.
They spent hours in each other's company
studying building plans for the Third Reich, but
Speer didn 't return his leader's affections. "He
was the dominant person in the relationship and
Hitler was the loser," Fest said.
Hitler, responsible for the extermination of six
million Jews, killed himself in April 1945. His
partner at the time, Eva Braun, died with
him.

Comment:
Joachim Fest published a biography of
Hitler which was widely acclaimed until a
well-publicised visit to the US National
Archives in Washington late in the 1970s. After
his lecture he was challenged by the director of
the archives, as to whether Fest had ever
visited them, since they held major collections
of records of the Nazi era; Fest admitted he had
never set foot in an archives in his
life.
