    Default Storm of Steel

    I'm almost finished Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger.

    This is probably, IMO, one, if not, the best books to emerge from the Great War. It is (Quote, a memoir of astonishing power, savagery and ashen lyricism, it illuminates like no other book the horrors but also the fascination of total war, presenting the conflict through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier. As an account of the terrors of the Western Front and of the sickening allure that made men keep fighting on for four long years, Storm of Steel has no equal. un quote).

    Default Thule en het Derde Rijk

    Thule and the 3rd Reich - The Genesis of National Socialism.

    As being interested in the history of the third Reich and especially the era from the end of the Kaiserreich to the actual power takeover of the NSDAP in 1933, I bought this book without realising the it is a translation of ‘Bevor Hitler kam’ (Before Hitler came).

    Translated by Evert van Leerdam and given a good introduction by Dutch historian and writer Perry Pierik.

    The book is about the early days of organised national socialism and the mysterious München based Thule Society that paved the way for the DAP, the NSDAP, Hitler and the 3rd Reich.

    As it was (believed to be) written in the 1930’s by Rudolf von Sebottendorf, occultist, anti-semite and one of the founders of the Thule Society, the book is not impartial and must be read with some scepsis (and perspective). However it is a very good timeline and document when interested in the early days of the NSDAP, the Weimar era, Freikorpsen, Kriegervereine and the occult foundation of Nazism.

    Very readable, but this specific edition is only available in Dutch. However Bevor Hitler came is translated in English by several authors.


    Kind regards
