CGiii Comment
On the 16th of July, 1950, a minor hustler named Otto Blankenstein was arrested for violating Paragraph 175, a law that made homosexual acts between males a crime. In order to avoid prison Otto Blankenstein gave away the names of his clients. This led to a wave of arrests lasting for 10 months. During that time more than 200 gay men had to stand trial. One of them was Wolfgang Lauinger. This short documentary was awarded grants by Homosexuelle Selbsthilfe e.V. Hamburg Pride e.V, die schwelle Foundation.
