Talk:Pierre Seel

message: Wow.......very good article. I just read it, and I must say I'm impressed. Aside from a few French-to-English translation issues, this is nearly Featured Article worthy(in my opinion). I can't say I was very familiar with the homosexual prosecutions in WW2(in any real detail) until I read this. RogueJedi86 17:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This implausible narrative reads like a tall tale, not fact. More like an episode of Ripping Yarns. 99.247.1.157 (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Biography" 

message: Even if there are a lot of "tall stories" by Nazi victims this story seems not generally implausible. Mark that Seel doesn't pretend that Jo (his friend in Schirmeck-Vorbrück) was eaten by dogs (as has been inferred in the movie article), but only killed by dogs.
The insertion about Vichy legislation is somewhat confusing here, because Alsace was never under Vichy legislation.
Nevertheless: Why does the author tell us the reason why Seel came on a list of homosexuals in 1939, and why doesn't he tell us the reason why Seel was eventually arrested in 1941? Torturing or sodomizing him sounds not as if he was only routinely arrested as a homosexual. Again, this would be not improbable as a practice in a camp where the personnel had opportunities to satisfy their personal sadistic whims. But the torture is said to have been inflicted immediately (by local - Mulhouse - policemen???).
Wikipedia French is uninformative so far.
One of the possible explanations is that Seel was in fact not arrested and deported as a homosexual, but from more serious reasons, and that this is downplayed because of the wish to present him as the token homosexual victim.
