There is a book out there caled The Pink Swastika (cw extreme homophobia) by Scott Lively that was used by the religous right to justify discrimination against gays because gays were "inherently violent". They claimed a significant amount of SS leadership was gay (while prosecuting queers) to rebuff the narrative that gays / queers were violent predators that are default the worst of humanity and deserve to be discrimated and persecuted.
You see traces of this recycled in the "violent trans activists" with the current struggle.
The myth that Nazis condoned or promoted homosexuality sprang up as a slander against Nazi leaders by their socialist opponents in the 1930s. Only one of the half-dozen leaders in Hitler's inner circle, Ernest Rohm, is believed by credible historians to have been gay.
The "gay Nazi" slander stuck, though, partly because German laws against homosexuals remained in place for a quarter of a century after World War II ended. That effectively silenced many homosexual victims of the Holocaust from telling their stories. A landmark survivor's memoir, The Men With the Pink Triangle, began to break that silence in 1972.
