Sonntag. Die Kälte hält weiter an. Über Nacht sind 2 Kameraden aus dem Bett ins Kitchen gekommen. § 175. Nachmittags fahre ich mit der Strassenbahn nach Berlebeck, besichtige die Quellen und gehe zur Ruine Falkenberg hinauf. Vorher traf ich mit Hptm. Braesen und Feldw. Theo Fick zusammen.Hintergrund
§ 175 StGB stellte sexuelle Handlungen zwischen Personen männlichen Geschlechts unter Strafe.
Im Jahr 1935 verschärften die Nationalsozialisten den § 175, indem sie die Höchststrafe im Zuge einer Umdefinition vom Vergehen zum Verbrechen von vier Jahren auf fünf Jahre Gefängnis heraufsetzten. Durch Streichung des Adjektivs „widernatürlich“ wurde die traditionsreiche Beschränkung auf beischlafähnliche Handlungen aufgehoben. Der Straftatbestand war nun erfüllt, wenn „objektiv das allgemeine Schamgefühl verletzt und subjektiv die wollüstige Absicht vorhanden war, die Sinneslust eines der beiden Männer oder eines Dritten [zu] erregen“. Eine gegenseitige Berührung war nicht mehr erforderlich.

Sunday. The cold continues. During the night 2 fellow-soldiers are taken from bed to the cooler.§ 175. In the afternoon I go by tram to Berlebeck, visit the springs and go up to the Falkenberg (castle) ruins. Beforehand I met Captain Braesen and Sergeant Fick. Background § 175 of the German Penal Code made sexual contact between men illegal. In 1935 the National Socialists made § 175 more severe, as by redefining it as a crime rather than an offense they increased the maximum sentence from 4 years to 5. By removing the adjective "unnatural" the long-standing restriction to acts simulating intercourse was removed. The statutory offence was now committed when "objectively general modesty was offended and subjectively the lascivious intention was present to arouse the sensuality of one of the two men or of a third party" Mutual physical contact was no longer required.
