Interesting book, haven't seen it yet. Though I would say, at least this is
the opinion I've resolved on, that Nazism is all manner of things and none
of them. Is Nietzsche's Superman attempted; Bismarck reborn in Hitler;
Carlyle's hero exemplified; simple nationalism; Prussianism; the 'Holy'
Germany of the Teutonic Bavarians against the threat from Russia revivified
some six hundred years after; the cult of Hitler; the pure Nordic; the
German; the total Aryan; the hygienic society and so on and so forth,
position contradicting position all the way but all somehow bound in a
malignant polyphony. Thoroughly different from the integral absolutism in
Russia.
