Summary
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 fourth 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 Nazi
Movement
Klaus Theweleit, Male Fantasies
Daniel Siemens: Horst Wessel. Tod und Verklärung eines Nationalsozialisten (2009)

| 0:09.0 | And I'm We're Don again. |
| 0:10.0 | Whether we like it or not, we're in bid with the right. |
| 0:13.5 | So, Adrian, today we have another installment of what might be the most depressing series in podcasting, our Project 133. |

| 0:28.6 | Yeah, so Project 1933 is us moving month by month through the year 2025, telling the story of the year 1933, four reasons. I don't know. |
| 0:43.3 | Figure it out why we might be doing this. This is our June episode. We always try to focus on |
| 0:48.6 | particular issues. If you recall, I had promised people at the end of the last episode two big topics. |
| 0:55.0 | So the question of how did the Nazi repressive apparatus work? |
| 0:58.3 | How did the paramilitary sort of intersect with this new regime that was establishing itself? |
| 1:03.1 | And then I promised the question of collaboration and collaborators. |
| 1:07.4 | Now, we're not going to get collaborators because I started writing the notes for this and I'm like, oh, fuck. |
| 1:13.4 | Like the collaborators will have to wait. |
| 1:15.0 | You guys are pieces of shit and we'll get to you eventually. |
| 1:17.6 | But not in the June episode. |
| 1:19.3 | This one's for different pieces of shit who were a lot more committed to the cause, let's say, namely mostly the SA, the storm up tidal. |
| 1:26.5 | So the Nazi muscle. |
| 1:28.3 | This is our episode on the brown shirts, right? |
| 1:31.4 | Yep. It's our episode on dudes hanging out in the worst possible fucking way. |
| 1:36.5 | Is the cure to male loneliness starting a fascist militia and enforcing autocracy? |
| 1:43.1 | So this is interesting because I think for American listeners, |
