For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This second installment covers June 1 to June 30, 1933 -- above all the role of the stormtroopers, the SA. This one has everything: homosociality, masculinity, red floods, and long knives!

Here are the books we refer to in this episode:

Daniel Siemens, The Stormtrooper: A New History

Andrew Wackerfuss, Stormtrooper Families: homosexuality and community in the early NaziMovement

Klaus Theweleit, Male Fantasies

Daniel Siemens: Horst Wessel. Tod und Verklärung eines Nationalsozialisten (2009)

hello! 1. Is there a syllabus/reading list for the 1933 project? 2. I'd love to know if you've read Jason Lutes's epic about Weimar Berlin?

I too would love a reading list !

I nominate Libby Custer and the Daughters of the Confederacy for attention in the My Dead Male Person Is My Career space.

In Bed With the Right

Hi all, a reading list sounds like a great idea, I'll get on that! One issue is that we generate our particular focus out of the previous episodes. There are entire books I assigned to myself that then ended up not being that important! Let me see what I can do though!

There were so many delightful quotes in this episodes that could be excellent punk t-shirts.

Noticing similarities in this episode to the paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland during the troubles. I’m convinced that also has an interesting gendered angle. Would love to hear an episode on the gender politics of NI as someone with family there and a general interest in the subject! Love the pod, you two make my day <3

I always learn so much from these episodes! Thank you for undertaking this project. I second the request for an episode on women dedicating their lives to preserving the legacies Dead Male Relatives! Women all over the political spectrum and history seem to have done this.
