Hitler's Views on Homosexuality and his Obsession with Venereal Disease

Hitler's views on homosexuality evolved during his time in the army, as he worked with openly gay individuals. However, he eventually killed Ernst Rome, the flamboyantly gay head of the brown shirts, because Rome wanted to replace the German army. Hitler's obsession with venereal disease remained constant, and he often compared Jewish refugees to a form of venereal disease. There is a rumor that Hitler himself contracted syphilis from a prostitute, although no solid evidence supports this claim.
