The Röhm scandal resulted from the public disclosure of Nazi politician Ernst Röhm 's homosexuality by anti-Nazis in and As a result of the scandal, Röhm became the first known homosexual politician. Röhm was an early member of the Nazi Party and was close to party leader Adolf Hitler. In the late s, he lived in Bolivia where he wrote letters to a friend, Karl-Günther Heimsothin which he candidly discussed his sexual orientation. Röhm's double life began to fall apart when he returned to Germany in and was appointed leader of the Sturmabteilung SAthe Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing. Although the Social Democratic Party of Germany SPD and the Communist Party of Germany supported the repeal of Paragraphthe German law criminalizing homosexualityboth parties utilized homophobia to attack their Nazi opponents and inaccurately portrayed the Nazi Party as dominated by homosexuals. Their goal was to prevent or delay the Nazi seizure of powerwhich ultimately occurred in early Beginning in Aprilthe SPD newspaper Münchener Post published a series of front-page stories about alleged homosexuality in the SA, which turned out to be based on forgeries. SPD leaders set out to obtain authentic evidence of Röhm's sexuality and, if possible, convict him under Paragraph Röhm was tried five times, but never convicted. During the German presidential election in Marchthe SPD released a pamphlet edited by ex-Nazi Helmuth Klotz [ de ] with Röhm's letters to Heimsoth. This second round of disclosures sparked a plot by some Nazis to murder Röhm, which fell through and resulted in additional negative press for the party. The scandal came to national attention as a result of the beating of Klotz by Nazi deputies in the Reichstag building on 12 May as revenge for his publication of Röhm's letters. Many Germans saw this attack on democracy as more important than Röhm's personal life. The Nazis' electoral performance was not affected by the scandal, but it affected their ability to present themselves as the party of moral renewal. Hitler defended Röhm during the scandal. The latter became completely dependent on Hitler due to loss of support in the Nazi Party. Hitler had Röhm and his friends murdered inciting both his homosexuality and alleged treachery. After the purge, the Nazi government systematically persecuted homosexual men. Ernst Röhm — was one of the early leaders of the Nazi Party and built up its paramilitary wing, the Sturmabteilung SAwhich violently attacked communists and other perceived enemies of the German people. Although Hitler found out about this incident, he did not take action. Inthe homosexual, nationalist physician Karl-Günther Heimsoth wrote a letter to Röhm questioning a passage in the latter's autobiography, Die Geschichte eines Hochverräters "The Story of an Arch-Traitor". Heimsoth asked if Röhm intended this passage as a criticism of Paragraphthe German law prohibiting sex between men. Röhm replied, stating "You have understood me completely! Inthe Nazi Party responded negatively to a questionnaire about their view of Paragraphand declared "Anyone who even thinks of homosexual love is our enemy. They promised to have homosexuals sterilized if they took power. The SA's tacit tolerance of homosexuals in its own ranks was in contrast to this. The Social Democratic Party of Germany SPD and Communist Party of Germany KPD were the primary supporters of repealing Paragraphbut they opportunistically used accusations of homosexuality against political opponents. InSPD deputies heckled Nazi deputy Wilhelm Frickshouting "Hitler, heil, heil, heil. Heil Eulenburg! Röhm returned to Germany at Hitler's request in Novemberand was officially appointed chief of staff of the SA on 5 January Röhm's appointment was opposed from the Gay Brown Boy Im Büro by some in the SA who saw it as cementing the subordination of the SA to the Nazi Party's political wing. His homosexuality was seized upon by those who disagreed with the organizational reforms but could not openly criticize Hitler without breaking with Nazism, because of the Führer principle. The internal opposition to Röhm intensified in February when Hitler replaced Stennes with Paul Schulzwho promoted two suspected homosexuals, Edmund Heines and Karl Ernstwithin the Berlin SA. Rumor had it that Ernst was only promoted because of an intimate relationship with Paul Röhrbein [ de ]a friend of Röhm's who was not a member of the party or SA. Many Berlin SA personnel disagreed with these appointments, complaining about the "Röhm-Röhrbein-Ernst Triple Alliance ", which was perceived as a homosexual clique. It was incorrectly claimed by Röhm's opponents that "large circles of Berlin Gay Brown Boy Im Büro comrades are informed about the gay clubs", [ 26 ] and these rivals noted with satisfaction that the perceived homosexual cliques were exposed in the left-wing media. On the night of 26 June, a Nazi named Walter Bergmann was arrested at a Berlin pub where he had found Ernst and Röhrbein together. Bergmann shouted, "Look at these parasites on the party, these Pupenjungenthese damned ass-fuckers who let the party's reputation go to hell. Röhm's double life became unsustainable in the face of his higher profile and the rising popularity of the Nazi Party. His friend Peter Granninger procured young men between 16 and 20 years old and brought them to apartments owned by Granninger and Karl Leon Du Moulin-Eckart [ de ] for sexual encounters.
