Ernst Jünger was a novelist, radical and revolutionary who fought in WW1 and later went on to fight for his romanticized militarist ideals in practice. Jünger was a kind of man who was completely suckered in by war and unlike many others felt it was the best thing in his life. In his mind militarism and nationalism weren't about black and white, robbing and terrorizing the innocent or random killing and hate, but about higher ethics, brotherhood and honour. Later during WW2 Jüng ended up facing the reality of the death of his ideals and go full pacifist. Honestly speaking, I love at least some parts of Jüngs ideas. He was all about extreme masculinity, and as far as I'm concerned, his dislike of comfort, safety and modern liberal values are on point. I don't think there's anything toxic about this shit, except for the questionable authoritarian dictatorship part. That sucks. But you have to remember the context, since this was after they lost the war and were forced by the enemy to adopt this new unstable system after a long history of aristocratic and monarchistic rule their whole moral system and worldview were based on at the time.

30.10. This film is utter shitshow and it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. They tried to make these historical figures look and sound as over the top and insane as possible. Hitler barely has any other emotion than just hate, and he's just crazy. Everything here feels so oversimplified, like there's no story or history behind anything that happens, things just happen because Hitler is evil and he's rising and he's very angry and he hates everything and everyone. In reality there's a huge and complicated history behind this thing that is still widely discussed among historians. The things that happened during the era and the way people thought had at least decades of complicated history behind them, not just political but also esoteric, neo-paganic and spiritual thinking. That's why they used swastika as their symbol.

Erich Ludendorff is widely remembered as a stereotypical evil general of the Great War and as a radical lunatic who supported Hitler after the WW1, but before his radicalization and mental downfall he was a celebrated soldier and a mastermind contributing MASSIVELY to the German war effort. Ludendorff and Hindenburg formed a legendary duo, where Ludendorff's forte was his intellectual prowess while Hindenburg took care of the decision making and leadership. Hindenburg described their professional relationship as a "happy marriage". In his autobiographical book Ludendorff tells about his frustration during the war time, when his close friend and colleague Hindenburg was hailed as a hero while Ludendorff himself took blame and public hatred for everything that went wrong in Germany even if things didn't have anything to do with him. Also, Ludendorff wasn't born into an entitled noble family and he had to actually earn everything he achieved in life, so he was a very cynical and bitter man, which most likely contributed to his later extreme views.
