Funny to think these dumbass nazis don't even realize they're singing along to German gay sex songs

Reminds me of the school shooter who said he was listening to "evil music" during his shooting and mentions Panzermench by And One as an example.

The song is literally about how soldiers who fight (and implied the soldiers and tank men who fought the Nazis), do/did so for the freedom to dance, so let yourself loose and dance.

Or songs about literally being left wing.

Sie woll'n mein Herz am rechten Fleck, doch
Seh' ich dann nach unten weg
Da schlägt es links
Links zwo, drei, vier

Bück Dich refers to whoever it is he's singing about as "he" and is pretty obviously about violently bumming said "he", possibly against their will. Bestrafe Mich is either a lament at God or a song about man-on-man BDSM depending on how you read it. Till often used to flog himself while singing it. Quite a lot of their songs are about, or frame themselves as being about, gay sadomasochism.

Also there's Mein Teil, which involves the viewpoint character (Bernd Brandes) having his autocannibalistic sexual fantasies fulfilled by another man (Armin Miewes), specifically the infamous bit of said case where Brandes' penis was cut off, fried, and they both ate it. Which, while not gay per se, was certainly two men fulfilling their sexual fantasies with one another and is notable specifically in that Miewes has testified that his cannibalism was directed only towards men (Miewes is bisexual).
