Book Description

Lothar Machtan makes a compelling case that Adolf Hitler was homosexual, and that one cannot begin to understand him, his entry into politics, and the early Nazi movement without a clear understanding of this aspect of his identity. Recent books on the Nazi movement have argued that the Third Reich was a fundamentally sordid regime. Machtan provides powerful new evidence in support of this view. This side of Hitler and his "Munich clique," as Goebbels put it, has never been so vividly evoked. As an intimate portrait of Hitler and as a surprising portrait of the homoerotic nature of the early Nazi movement, The Hidden Hitler is a major and certainly controversial contribution to the biographical literature.

1 out of 5 stars Short Story topic stretched into a 450-pg book.......2006-12-26

I read this book, as I do all other historical works, to fill voids and/or add different perspective to my knowledge of, in this instance, Nazi Germany. Machtan presents his argument (evidence) in vacuum form. In other words, the book reads like numerous single subject short bios in rapid fire form - there is very little text to give the reader his bearings. Well, after wading through the entire book, I can only be sure of one thing: the author left no stone unturned or rabbit trail unexplored. The exhaustive work put into this book cannot be disputed. While the hard work is admirable, the book quickly bogs down into trite short bios on various men with connections, however, far removed, to Hitler. With the introduction of each man from Hitler's past, we are presented with the same litany of circumstantial evidence and hearsay upon hearsay designed to make a case for that particular man's homosexuality. Certain men, Ernst Rohm, for example, were known as members of the gay community. Machtan offers nothing to make any substantial nexus between Hitler and Rohm regarding alleged physical relations. Rohm is one of the exceptions to those studied in detail. A majority of the men were not openly gay. As a result, Machtan first has to establish a case for the individual's homosexuality. Then, Machtan repeatedly makes the huge leap of "now that I've shown this man was likely gay - he was often close to Hitler ..." Every bio on men from Hitler's past read the same: the man was probably gay because his landlady said he was odd (or he was a poet) and then insert some connection to Hitler. The author also overlooks the fact that Hitler was, among many other things, a master of surrounding himself with those who had a secret, the keeping of which, they were reliant upon Hitler. This was by design and gave Hitler additional power over his subjects - forced loyalty. An obvious result of such a tactic was Hitler's close relations to men with "dirty little secrets". History makes a much stronger argument that Hitler deemed such men useful to his ultimate goal. As the book inadvertently details, history lends no hard evidence to the notion Hitler was smitten with numerous men during his years. Lastly, Machtan plays on the "well, just because nobody thought they were gay does not mean they were not - heck, nobody admits to being gay - not in those days at least." Well, if that were the case, why the long book? They were all gay and so was Hitler. No thanks. I will stick with Kershaw's Hubris and Nemesis as both works more than detail what Machtan attempts to "reveal". Kershaw allows the reader to reach his own conclusion. This is a great read if you like historical fiction and spoon-feeding.

3 out of 5 stars Good But Not Great.......2006-08-17

I have enjoyed reading The Hidden Hitler and when I turned to the Amazon reviews I found several reviews to be unfairly negative and the positive reviews to be brief and not helpful so I decided to make a few comments of my own on this useful book.
My comments here are critical but should not discourage the reader from approaching the book, which is accessible.
First, Machtan's thesis is not nearly so new or so ignored as he likes to present it. Konrad Heiden, one of Hitler's earliest biographers, goes over much of the same material but reaches totally different conclusions. Heiden notes that rumors of Hitler's homosexuality were rife in the 20's and 30's. Other biographers have reached different conclusions than Machtan does, which does not necessarily mean that Hitler's (alleged) homosexuality has been ignored. I note that Machtan totally ignores Heiden, except to list him in the bibliography, and perhaps the fact that Heiden, who was a contemporary of Hitler and published in 1944, disputes the homosexuality of Hitler prompted this otherwise curious omission.

As a second point, Machtan makes a mess of the Geli Raubal mystery. I know of few people who think her death was a suicide as Machtan strongly implies. He is right that facts are scarce but she died in 1931 about two years after her alleged lover was driven from the scene. Most accounts of her death recognize the central importance of letters to her written by Hitler. The letters were hunted down and the holders killed. Their contents are unknown but by inference were explosive - and they were between Hitler and Geli. A conservative thesis is that Hitler revealed himself, not as a homosexual, but as a man with sexual intentions toward her that shocked her. Machtan discusses Geli in a few short pages and does not report any of the inferences that do not support his thesis. Instead, he makes her out to be a sort of "trophy wife" or camouflage to hide his male dalliances. Again, I have not read any other account that argues that Hitler was not in love (as he defined it) with her and was not devastated by her death.

A Third point must be made. Some of the reviewers here accuse Machtan of poor sourcing and use of inference over facts. This is unjust. I believe Machtan marshals his sources as well as anyone can in this mystery. Please remember that Hitler, like Stalin, was at great pains to revise his biography and that both men considered murder a proper form of editing. Almost one hundred years after the fact it is extremely difficult to reach facts without inferring them from actions. The startling difference in interpretation is the central issue.
My final point is two-fold. First, that although Machtan tries hard not to pigeonhole Hitler, the use of the very loaded term homosexual in fact narrows the discussion, and does not broaden it.

The second point is that, to return to Heiden's analysis, there is more than one way to read the same material. Heiden explicity rejects homosexuality as a part of Hitler's makeup. Instead, he makes four points: 1) Hitler's reserve around women was an aspect of extreme shyness 2) that Hitler's view of women was an extreme case of the Madonna/Whore duality and he was alternately attracted to women and repelled by their "dirtiness." 3) that his actual sexuality, though direct primarily at women, defied a simple name and included sadism and masochism, dominance and fetishes that appalled Geli and other women. My point is not to agree or disagree with Heiden's assessment but to point to the fact that the same evidence can be interpreted in a number of ways. Finally, 4) Heiden and Machtan are in apparent agreement about the chameleon nature of Hitler and his ability to mimic his surroundings. Hitler was perfectly capable of knowingly surrounding himself with homosexual men, such as Rohm, discarding them when they ceased to be of value and then acting shocked when he "discovered" their proclivities. I think Machtan is on firm ground when he discusses the attraction to certain homosexuals of the Nazi movement and its forerunners. The cult of masculinity, if you will, would be a great attraction to some homosexual men and it is not in itself surprising that Hitler would use them for his own advancement.

In sum, I think Machtan actually narrows the understanding of Hitler by his thesis which seems to me to try and Put Hitler into a specific milieu and keep him there. I think the reality is much broader.

5 out of 5 stars A lot of other things begin to fall into place.......2005-03-22

This book is a primary source for "The Pink Swastika", written by Scott Lively and also reviewed by me. "The Hidden Hitler" is a far better book, with more thorough documentation and no hidden agenda outside of seeking the Truth. As history is explained and documented in this book, a lot of other things fall into place. I never did believe there was a homosexual holocaust, it just didn't make sense in the scheme of what I know about the Nazi motivation for a Master Race. They were far too self-centered to care about so-called "morality" -- and far too immoral, at that. That said, the "Night of the Long Knives" apparently was a homosexual slaughter based on internalized homophobia (my words) and the self-centered narcissism of Hitler and his obsession for the preservation of his historical image. That, to me, makes sense, in its own perverted way.

It is difficult to be clear about the difference between homosexuality and pederasty even today, and it certainly would have been difficult back then. Surely there was overlap, as there is today, particularly for gay men. Very few gay men are rapists, but there are clearly men who rape boys. Rape, however, is not the issue in this book. Power is. And, then again, rape is about power, isn't it?

Given that, the Hitler Youth makes sense as well. Seduction, betrayal, secrets, power, and the Lebensborn homes, where women were nothing more -- nor less -- than breeders (again, based on my own research) speaks to me of a brilliant homosexual coup d'etat that makes "don't ask, don't tell" a monument to efficiency. After all, how can one control one's entourage without secrets?

This is not about the gay "community." There is no gay "community," in fact, and there certainly wasn't one then. There was a sub-culture, as there always has been, but they did not then, and they do not now, speak with one voice. The oppression, narcissism and self-loathing they lived with, however, could definitely contribute to a perverse distortion of power and control and a terrorizing ab-reaction against the masses should someone of such proclivities actually make it to the apex.

The anti-Semitism is a given, and had little to do with the homosexuality. Many people were (and are) anti-Semitic, Germany did not corner the market on that. Nor did they corner the market on medical experimentation. They did, however, corner the market on efficiency, expediency, and drama. The epitome of Queendom, if there ever was one.

5 out of 5 stars Sound Methodogy, Accurate Character Assessment.......2004-12-11

Using a wide and complete variety of archival records, Lothar Machtan has reconstructed the milieu of Hitler's early adulthood, intellectual and political formation, and salient actions in his bellicose and genocidal maturity. Machtan's methodology and interpretation of evidnce is the standard stock of modern history. There are no unreasonable reaches beyond the evidence. Nor does Machtan condemn homosexuality as a life style. Simply put: Machtan presents a strong case that Hitler was gay. The main point of his thesis is that Hitler hiding his homosexuality was part of a larger dominant behavioral pattern of Hitler having fabricated a falsified persona as Germany's all-knowing, multi-talented and invincible "Fuehrer." Machtan concludes that Hitler was a superb liar and spellbinding public speaker who deceived the German people and led them into a disastrous period of the near total destruction of Germany and Europe.

3 out of 5 stars Possible but no real factual evidence.........2004-07-08

Hitler is a true historic enigma. His was such a contradictory life that biographers can easily read just about anything into it. He was somehow both monstrous and banal at the same time but was he a homosexual?

Machtan seems to think that he was. But what constitutes proof of such a claim? Hitler was a historical figure, much has been written about him even during his life. There is a wealth of documentation for just about every facet of his personality, his day to day existence as both a private and very public figure.

So where's the proof? Machlan offers very little hard factual evidence that can be independently verified. Most of his proof are 'edited' interpretations of memoirs that are ambiguous at best. There just is no 'smoking gun' presented here just the same kind of innuendo that hints at everything and proves nothing.

Was Hitler a raging heterosexual then? No. He seems, to me, to have been more asexual then anything else. There was some sort of emotional 'relationship' between him and his niece.. was it a sexual one as well? Eva Braun ..kept carefully hidden from the German public.. was considered his sexual mistress by most of his closest companions...was that all just a cover? There is much more verifiable proof that his sexual drive was both heterosexual (and low).

So the thesis of this book? "Unproven" but probably not true is the best I can do. There are just too many blanks and too few hard facts given here to prove it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Also, I might add that I cared for the main character in the book - Ellen Arndt - in her last days in Hospice last year. A lovely lady! Also met her husband Eric and the author of the book, Barbara Lovenhiem; therefore, the book had a special meaning for me.

    4 out of 5 stars Horrifying but true.......2006-05-26

    Never before has the full horror of what happened during Hitler's reign of terror over Europe hit me this hard.

    To think of what these people went through makes me shudder, and that's just thinking about it based on my experiences from reading this book! I cannot imagine what it would be like to go through even for a second and the respect I feel towards these several million Jewish people is so strong that it cannot be put into words. The most important feature of the book comes with the (what I like to call) Truth-Will-Out Factor, by which I basically mean that the truth is allowed to speak for itself. Occassionally eye-witness accounts are given whole pages to themselves, while you may see this as a little peculiar I thought it was a delightful touch!

    The book lays out the facts plainly, for all to see, and lets the facts do the talking. Again, this leads to a balanced portrayal of truth and allows the reader to make up her own mind about what happened on that week. I've pawed over historical texts before and, while it never seemed exactly pleasant, the events always appeared to be so far back in time that it could hardly ever come back to bother me now, or us, any of us, in the human race, in this day and age.

    However, with the events of September the 11th and even in London on June the 7th, we can see how easily it can be for someone to just go that little bit too far. And the horrifying aspects that come down from this.

    If pictures can indeed paint a thousand words then the photographic evidence held within this hefty tome (450 pages more than would be expected) speak truly to all of us. One particular photo had me in tears - a little boy, just standing there. The caption reads 'Mummy's not coming back'. As the author goes on to say, we cannot let this happen again.

    How can we make sure that we don't? The author seems to ultimately surmise that, even merely by retelling the events, then we are all helping just that little bit. And the message, I came away from the book with is that every little notion helps crush international terrorism, even just if it's checking you've got the right change! Or taking the bus instead of your car, the pictures, words, photographic images, statements and lyrics of songs sung by detainees included within these pages will never leave my painful memory. My heart bleeds and goes out to the soul of everyone involved.

    A magnificent, commendable work and very much something to be shoved proudly in the faces of anyoen who is ignorant enough as to tell you that the Holocaust .ever happened!

          Book Description



          This is the story of one soldier's last fight at the Belgium town of Noville, an outpost of Bastogne. Orders were to hold this crossroads at any cost until the defenses of Bastogne could be strengthened. This book is an infantryman's memory of this terrible battle, including his close calls with death and the story of how he and his partner destroyed a Tiger tank from just a few feet away. It is a bloody tale of a bloody fight. Some of that blood came form PFC Addor when he was hit twice in just a couple of minutes.

          Mr. Addor describes his struggle to stay alive while all alone on the foggy battle field, including how he invented a new type of tournequet to keep from bleeding to death, and his unbelievable rescue and escape from surrounded Bastogne. The book also tells of his Army medical treatment and rehabilitation, which included extensive therapy to help him learn to walk on an artifical leg. Mr. Addor also relates several other combat experiences against the Germans during World War II. Praise for Noville Outpost to Bastogne

          Your book Noville Outpost to Bastogne is a gem and was a joy to read. Your recall of events was amazing in the depiction of the episodes during your period with the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion. World War II veterans and students of that great period in our history would all benefit from a reading of your story. The detailed descriptions of your injury and the recuperative procedures reveal an inner courage and will serve as a model for other injured GIs, whatever the war, to emulate. As a former high school colleague from the good old days, I admire you for putting your story together and wish you all the best with book sales. Malcolm Lawrence, WWII Veteran, 8th Air Force, 94th Bomb Group

          We have a talented author among us. I purchased a book entitled Noville Outpost to Bastogne: My Last Battle, at our club picnic and have had difficulty putting it down as soon as I started reading it. It is written by our own, long-term member, Don Addor. He can be very proud of his fine work. It is about his many battles including the Battle of the Bulge, with the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion, 10th Division, General Patton's Third Army. The book is well written, extremely interesting and well worth the $20.00 purchase price. I sincerely hope each of you will buy this outstanding book for an added bonus to your personal library. Thanks Don for this very rewarding personal pleasure of reading your fine book. I hope you enjoyed writing it as much as I enjoyed reading it.

            Everyone into UFO's, aliens and the Illuminati should read this
            book. This guy reads very believable. He believes that the CIA
            with strong Nazi and Illuminati influence created flying saucers
            and that a l l the sources saying that they're "alien" is a giant
            subterfuge.

            Don't give up while reading the first 68 pages. That's a lot of
            basic electronics and Tesla. Then on page 68 he starts writing
            his own story, apparently not needing to impress us any more as
            to whether or not he's a genius. He relaxes and reads as very
            believable. (I hope it's not actually a different author.)

            What Bill says will make you view everything you experience
            in UFOlogy differently, or at least question a little more.

            5 out of 5 stars Awesome Book.......2004-11-01

            This book definetly opened my eyes, his discription of UFOs was definitly consistent with what I and other people I know have seen. Its funny how people get angry when you mention a book like this to them, it really just proves how right William R. Lyne is!!

            4 out of 5 stars A good place to begin.......2004-03-26

            Physics is always about religion. It is about knowing where you come from, and where the human race is going with the newfound knowledge and inquiries that they make. The only true evil is unquestioned faith. This is what makes governments 'believe' in manifest destiny, genocide, and yes, energy policies which favor concentrated power and economics over distributed power and true security. To paraphrase a wise man, "When the aether is outlawed, only the government will have science."
            I would rate this higher, but the science is incomplete from the engineering standpoint. Too much is left in the 'too secret to get all the answers' file for the next step: building the technology in the public domain.

            4 out of 5 stars Breakthrough book on the Tesla-UFO connection.......2003-03-21

            Lyne's book is THE most important book published to date on the origin of "saucers" as man-made craft using stolen Tesla technology. Although Pentagon Aliens and its author are seldom mentioned by others, they have had a major impact on the UFO field. In fact, I believe all other UFO books need to be compared to Lyne's Pentagon Aliens to see whether they can hold up to Lyne's information on Tesla, ether propulsion and military disinformation.

            Previous reviewers mention 2 weak points of the book, namely a strong pro-atheist position and a circuitous writing style. In fact that is why I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5. But come on, no book is perfect. Think of Pentagon Aliens as a gold mine and you'll have to do some digging to find the many great nuggets of information throughout its pages. For example, his expose on the military's ad hoc Roswell hoax alone is worth the price of the book.

            1 out of 5 stars First conspiracy was the last for me.......2002-11-18

            I purchased this book to read the authors thoughts about man made saucer craft based on Tesla inventions and technology. BUT what does the author do? Attack the Christian faith with a conspiracy theory not even worth considering. NO factual basis what so ever. The vehement atheist was spousing his hate and religion to the point of ad nauseum. If the author had an axe to grind about GOD well then write a book about that and title it so. Dont decieve with one title a preach something else.
            I did not read the book because if his factual gathering was indicated by his Christian/Roman creation conspiracy well then i have better things to do than to read someones malevolent fantasy.
            Sorry, but that is my review the first chapter and its erroneous theories were all i needed to shelve this one for good.

            4 out of 5 stars Ignore Joshua's review above.......2005-06-03

            If you look at all of Joshua's book reviews above ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3G2N8MSG1W50Q/ref=cm_cr_auth/002-0062097-2436865?%5Fencoding=UTF8 ) you'll see that he's entered the same exact critique for two different William Lyne books. It's obvious that someone wouldn't write the same exact critique for two different books if he actually had read both.

            I would suggest that when the only negative comment for an author is from someone who's been proven NOT to have honestly given that critique then this particular criticism should be ignored.

            If you are interested in this particular subject the book "Man-made UFOs: 50 Years of Suppression" is a tremendously well-documented and scientific approach to researching this topic.

            5 out of 5 stars Awsome book........2002-12-05

            One can only wonder why Amazon.com only put the last part(and dumbest part) of my last review on. (the last review had the authors web site and they couldn't have that) They are pretending to show "freedom of press" by letting me put anything on the review at all. Simply put ITS RIGGED. They don't want you to read this book because of all the TRUTH thats jam packed in it. Go to the authors website to get a MUCH cheeper price on the book. (members.tripod.com/~lyne4lyne/ ) They doubled the price because they DONT want you to buy it.

            1 out of 5 stars absolutely hilarious.......2002-10-02

            This author claims to use logic and skepticism, all I can see from his book is a lack there of. This book along with Lyne's other book is the only propaganda, not some some massive CIA front. I was once a believer but no longer, UFOlogy and all that Tesla nonesense is just that, nonesense. If you want to learn about physics read anything by the genious of Einstein, not by this quack. If you don't want to waste your time I suggest getting any book by Philip Klass instead of this book.

            4 out of 5 stars One of the most important books written on UFOs........1998-11-02

            Bill Lyne's book and Gregory Kanon's The Great UFO Hoax, together, I believe, show the solution to the true nature of UFOs.

            WHEN, I FIRST GOT "THE FUEL SAVER" IN THE MAIL I WAS A LITTLE BIT UPSET ABOUT THE SIZE. BUT, AFTER READING THE BOOK I FOUND THAT IT HELPED ME A LOT, WITH JUST 81 PAGES THAT HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEEDED TO GET STARTED ON MY OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BOOK ABOUT PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE YOUR ELECTRIC BUILD BY USING SIMPLE METHODS, THIS IS THE BOOK. IT'S EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. THE APPENDIX IS OUTSTANDING FOR FUTURE REFERENCES.
