File this under “Gay gone bad”…. First gaining prominence at home In Norway and abroad with the publication in 1936 of his début book, “Das Land Noruega” (a fictional autobiography of his youth in Mexico.) Nils Per Imerslund’s (1912 -1943), blonde, blue-eyed stature and extravagant way of life gave him the position of "the Aryan Idol” in a way he chose not to resist. Self loathing of his homosexuality and self-perceived feminine traits, would lead him to frequently risk his life. First fighting with the Fascist Falange in the Spanish Civil War, and finally joining the Waffen-SS to fight in Ukraine and Finland, where he was severely injured. He died shortly thereafter of blood poisoning in his native Norway at age 31. No hero but perhaps a cautionary tale or maybe an insight as to what religious, societal or familial pressure can do to one’s soul.
