ABSTRACT
Little is known of the fate of homosexual men in the lands conquered by the Nazis. Territories annexed to the Reich, such as the large parts of Poland renamed West Prussia and Posen [Poznan], or the Belgian frontier districts of Eupen, Malmédy and Moresnet, were subjected to the penal definitions of the ‘Old Reich’. Even if the long-term aim may have been to impose them on all the occupied lands, all we have proof of at present is the special provisions for the prosecution of homosexual men in the ‘Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia’, the ‘Generalgouvernement Poland’, the Netherlands and the occupied zone of France.
