| description | Homosexuals were mustered out of military service in the Bundeswehr until 1979, after which homosexuality alone was no longer considered grounds for unsuitability.

Storkmann uses interviews, court files, and internal documents to examine the Bundeswehr’s approach toward homosexual soldiers. |
