I'm pretty much aware that there were no sexual context involved when this statue was made.
There was a common practice for young men in ancient Greece to have sexual relations among each other. Nor was it wrong to have a statue of two naked males holding each others hands in Germany during 1930's.
However, time change things. If two males would hold hands like that (even with close on) would be no doubt wich sexual orientation they belong too. I'm not actualy saying:"It's wrong!", i'm saying: "It's gay!".

School. Kids taking gas masks on, going down into bombshelter while some of the teachers taking time. Rutine.
Anothe picture is looks surreal to me. Something is off. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Looks like it could be from Fallout game series.
EDIT I just read the text with in you link. It is actually pictures from 1930s. Interesting...
