Answer 1

2)On October 7th 1939 Germany conquered Poland and partitioned Poland from the reaches of Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler appointed Heinrich Himmler as the head commissar of the Strengthening of relationships between the German Ethnic people. He was appointed the duty to regulate the affairs of German occupied region projects in Poland. He was also given the duty to destroy and annihilate the different populations which might provide hindrance in the spread of the German population in different areas of Poland. In 1931, Hitler extended the regulation of authority in different regions occupied by Soviet Union. His responsibility in the SS and Einsatzgruppen was to provide security and destroy the different population of Jews and, Soviet Officials, Roma and people living with different kinds of disabilities to provide for the living of German populations in these regions. The SS had taken control of the working German office there with provision of food, shelter and clothing to the resettled Ethnic German resettlers in Poland. Himmler persuaded Hitler in 1939 to permit establishment of the armed SS forces in the region called as Warren forces. The Armed Forces Intelligence was also occupied by the German forces. In 1944 Himler was appointed the replacement army head with discussion of the prisoners of war.

2B) There was an increase in the persecution of homosexuals after the Roehm affair. In 1937, he gave a speech in which he declared that he has forwarded the cases of violence against the Homosexuals in Germany. George Mosse said homosexuality marked a stigma to the understanding of morality in the community. Harry Oosterhuis said that he tolerated the belief in homosociality and homosexuality. It was considered a masculine militarized prowess which was overcome by the spread of German resettling populations which decreased the homosexuality prevalent in the society. Florence Tamagne and Gert Hekma have emphasized on the intolerance in society against the acts of homosexuals. In 1935, a justification was given for the act of involvement of males in prostitution which was due to prevalent conditions and not will in the society.
