And Schellchen was SO GAY. I mean, he admits in his memoirs that one of the reasons he chose the SS was that he found the black uniform "quite dashing", and find me another autobiography or memoir written by a man that goes into such scrupulous detail in describing the physical features of other men but only refers to women as "pretty" if he refers to them physically at all. He refers to a Polish spy as "tall, well-built, and had a handsome face," then goes on to describe how the spy felt "a bond" with him. It's tidbits like this along with all the unapologetic cloak-and-daggery that makes his memoirs entertaining. That and the fact that a post-war German journalist said "his almost feminine sensibility made him as moody as a film star no longer sure of success."

Schellchen the aging queen, a veritable Norma Desmond! The mind reels! But other than that, you're absolutely right, he was an opportunistic whore.
