[@janedoex1398]

You should take a look at the Trailer of the film they made in 2019.....it's called " Der goldene Handschuh" in German, 1:1 it would be " The golden glove" , but since titles aren't always translated 1 on 1 I'm not sure what the English version is called, or if they once decided to translate it word for word... The actor looks *really* like.....Just making you uncomfortable. But then....this was a different time and the lowest , poorest of society....homeless, alcoholics, prostitutes, runaways, coming from abusive homes and parents and undividuals who lived in the horrors of WWII.....if they liked being German or not, many didn't like to be involved but what chance did they have? *Warning just an educational rant that will most likely be removed...* If you spoke against the regime you ended up in concentration camps just like it happens today in Turkey or North Korea. Not everyone was a proud supporter and dedicated N@z! ....they just were called into the Military and feared for their families if they refused. I'm the granddaughter of a father born in Böhmen , Germans who lived there since the 18 hundreds when Germans settled into the area under "Sissy" - I think everyone knows that name. Born 1944 he was 1.5 years old when he was declared a war criminal in 1945 when Germany lost - due to his father (he never met when he could remember, not sure if they EVER met) and who had been [forced to] fight in the army aged 22 and been dying in Stalingrad 1944 or 45 in Russian imprisonment.... And due to the " Benesch Dectete" he is considered a war criminal to this day in a state in the EU. Though he was a BABY BACK THEN! It's like slavery, that was passed on for generations. But the EU still thinks ...whatever. Oh and my grandmother got raped multiple times and lost my baby aunt on the "Brünner death march" .... look it up. Almost nobody knows that there were thousands upon thousands " Germans" - only old men, women and children got killed too, many were never found, but they found dozends off mass graves. When people old, pregnant, children, starving, exhausted etc....got too slow - they were simply shot to get rid of , but lots also died due to starvation and the conditions and tempo they were forced to march towards Austria. Who couldn't keep up was immediately "eliminated" - also to keep the other ones " spirit" up ... Ps: this comment will likely get removed because I dare play the regretful guilty one.

"The golden glove" 1:1 in German it's: "Der Goldene Handschuh" was the bar where he used to get drunk and pick up prostitutes/ alcoholics, runaways etc. and buy them drinks and lure them to his appartement.....

Drug dealing is about Power that's why it's so dangerous due to the risk of robberies, competition from other dealers. Homosexual men are deemed as Weak or deviant to a heterosexual men.
