摘要

Drawing on concepts such as latent homosexuality, psychoanalytically oriented social psychologists in the 1930s and 1940s, and after 1968, sought to understand the forces that bound people to National Socialism. The focus here is not on the manifest homosexuality of homosexual men but rather on the latent homosexuality of heterosexual men, which is said to represent a relevant psychological motive for this attachment. Historians have deconstructed the construction of the image of the homosexual Nazi. Their finding, that the “homosexual Nazi” was a powerful cultural construct, is used to re-examine the work of the analytical social psychologists. Reich, Fromm and Adorno interpreted latent homosexuality as a feminine-masochistic desire for submission. They reject the emancipatory concept of latent homosexuality and uncritically employ the phantasm of femininity as passivity in their analysis. For Vinnai, the understanding of latent homosexuality has been reduced to a fixation on a narcissistic stage of development. He views Hitler as a “latent” homosexual who suppressed his homosexuality and constructs a causal relationship between the pre-Oedipal genesis of homosexuality and narcissistic fixation in paranoia in order to suggest a connection between homosexuality and National Socialism.
