'Beach Boy'

This is Dennis Johnson, modelling for Gomillion & Leuopold.

He's blond, he's beautiful, and he's wearing a rosary, so he fits the bill.

UPDATE: I just read here that Gomillion, who takes the photos, is a bit of a sleazy scumbag. But then the person posting the "complaint" hasn't given his name, so who's to say? (And yes, it could just be "racism"!)

Gomillion is the one who looks half-caste. Leupold is the one that you'd rather be sitting opposite at dinner.

Drew Van Acker

Arnold Schwarznegger's First Bodybuilding Competition

This was in 1963. He was 16 at the time. (He didn't officially start his competitive career until the following year.)

Alexandr Magala

The Daily Mail pretty much outdid themselves in the prurient hypocrisy stakes a couple of days ago when they "outed" Britain's Got Talent's popular sword-swallower as as a former male stripper. (And yes, men used to enjoy him, as well as women!)

Well here are some pics. He's from Moldova, and yes, he was very beautiful.

The Wandervogel

Although even semi-respectable historians (the BBC's Laurence Rees, for example) try to link the Wanderwogel with the HJs, personally I can't really see the connexion. Apart from both being outdoorsy-type German youth movements, they really have nothing in common. The Wanderwogel were really proto-hippy, young ramblers, who merrily tramped about the beautiful German countryside with their guitars, singing songs about how lovely everything was and how young and handsome they were (or something!). They weren't known for throwing stones at Catholic priests, beating up Jews, informing on their parents or forming teenage SS tank divisions.

In fact the only thing they (probably!) had in common with Hitler's lads was a propensity for a bit of underage boy-on-boy action - and let's face it, adolescent adventures between friends after lights-out don't really compare with having to deal with the attentions of the pervert instructors of the notorious "Homo Youth".

Is this an actual uniform, or are these just normal German student caps?

Nazis with guitars? Now you've heard everything.

So who's first? If you played a stringed instrument you could just stand and watch, presumably.

Deutsche Eiche München Sauna

This is really just an amusing counterpoint to the Nürnberger Bratwurst Glöckl. Whereas Ernst Röhm's favourite eatery is nowadays an anonymously respectable tourist trap, the Hotel Deutsche Eiche, where Hitler gave six speeches in 1926, is now one of the Munich gay scene's most popular meeting-places.
