For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This fourth installment covers June 1 to June 30, 1933 -- above all the role of the stormtroopers, the SA. This one has everything: homosociality, masculinity, red floods, and long knives!Here are the books we refer to in this episode:Daniel Siemens, The Stormtrooper: A New HistoryAndrew Wackerfuss, Stormtrooper Families: homosexuality and community in the early NaziMovementKlaus Theweleit, Male FantasiesDaniel Siemens: Horst Wessel.
