When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

What if Nat burst into tears when she saw Tony again but she then realise what it meant, and for the first time she is willing to show her true emotions in front of Tony and started crying on his shoulder. Tony then pat her head and tell her that everything is fine now, that they won and she did good.
