it's a war-time thing?

Some of the things I have read suggest that the connection between homosexuality and fascism is based on the strong male bonding and misogynist stance of prewar Nazi groups. I remember, however, an undergraduate paper about masculinity in American post-war films, which, I argued, was problematised by the war-time experience of American men. Disciplining men as soldiers compromises their psychological makeup and identity and brings about an 'intensification' of traditional notions of manhood (misogynism, swearing and such) and a ban on effeminate behaviour. At the same time, however, strong emotional ties are forged between the soldiers and as John D'Emilio remarks:

The sex-segregated nature of the armed forces raised homosexuality closer to the surface for all millitary personel. Soldiers indulged buffoonery, aping in exaggerated form the social stereotype of the homosexual, as a means of releasing the sexual tensions of life in the barracks.

Of course this has to be done in a exaggerated way (just like the way they perform their masculinity) so as to make sure that they are not 'really' gay. Nevertheless, there is a sort of tension here. And what's more,
to make a link to the animal world: in several animal species one sees homosexual acts (which obviously is not the same to the social construction of the homosexual identity that we know in the West today) outside the rutting season. Obviously, in an (almost) exclusively male environment such as the army in WWII, homosexual acts must have soared.

Anyway, my point is, could not this 'schizophrenic' structure of masculinity be the cause for the emotional and behavioural 'oddities' of the prewar Nazi groups? And if so, is this not much more a general feature of war time mobilization? If so, it makes it even more interesting why exactly the link between specifically fascism and homosexuality has endured.
