Herzog) offers a case in point for studying gender ambivalences in (post)war contexts. Though gender and sexuality are \u201cuseful categories of historical analysis\u201d (Joan W. Scott), they remain profoundly recalcitrant, as they combine liberalisation and repression, consent and violence, the private and the public\u2026 As I shall argue, masculinities offer insightful perspectives for understanding German society and Europe at war. Nazism, which advocated an ideal of comradeship and racial purity, regulated gender, sexualities and procreation through racist, homophobic, sexist and eugenic laws. Yet the period also saw the coexistence of sexual constraints and forms of gender violence with the opening of new spaces for sexual and gender experimentation. The Nazi war of conquest and annihilation marked an important break. As combatants and colonisers in Europe, German and Austrian men found themselves at the centre of gendered mutations: actors of violence, agents of war and, ultimately, bearers of defeat. In this context, we need to think more about \u201cintegrated histories\u201d of gender and sexuality, focusing on men <i>and<\/i> women, queer <i>and<\/i> straight, Jews <i>and<\/i> non-Jews.<\/p><p><strong>Patrick Farges<\/strong> is Professor of German &#038; Gender History at University of Paris Cit\u00e9\/France.
