"The Reich Youth Leader was Baldur von Schirach, a romantically minded young man and an energetic organizer, whose mother was an American and whose great-grandfather, a Union officer, had lost a leg at Bull Run; he told his American jailers at Nuremburg that he had become an anti-Semite at the age of seventeen after reading a book called Eternal Jew, by Henry Ford." Even Shirer can't safely objectify this one.

Worth remembering here, while Shirer fearmongers about 'men of unnatural sexual inclinations', that those marked with the upside down pink triangle were freed from the concentration camps only to be re-incarcerated under Allied-Germany laws.

Sure hope Shirer doesn't keep up this running 'unemployed behavior' ad hominem commentary throughout the entire book, his argument's awfully emotional as is.
