Explanation: The Nazis hated homosexuals, and regarded it as a form of 'degeneracy' that had to be punished, and hated Jews and other minorities, to the point of leading a campaign of mass extermination against them (the Holocaust). They also idolized the 18th century Prussian monarch and military leader, Frederick the Great, with Hitler in particular idolizing Frederick.

In reality, Frederick the Great was remarkably tolerant, by the standards of the time, of other religions and ethnicities, including providing a nearly unprecedented amount of freedom for Jews (practicing and non-practicing) in 18th century Europe. Oh, and he was famously gay, to the point that it was an open secret amongst European high society.
