<< the part of Juenger's
 work concerning WW I which IMHO is taken far too important I would like
 to bring to your attention Juenger's experimentations with LSD. You will
 find what Albert Hoffmann had to say about our hero at the following:

Didn't Juenger use WW 1 and violence as a drug too ( just as bookreading
before, and after)?  To me "Der Kampf als inneres Erlebnis" seemed to be a
first version of "Das abenteuerliche Herz". Different looks on the same
thing: Rites de Passage. And  the new diary starts as a dream diary of  a
"Grosser Uebergang". 

Quiet list, just like the reviewers, why?.

In Sueddeutsche Zeitung (11./12.10.97) I found a review of  Juengers
correspondence  with Rudolf Schlichter (painter and writer): "Briefe
1935-1955. Mit Briefen von Gretha Juenger und Speedy Schlichter sowie Ernst
Niekisch, Armin Mohler, Carl Schmitt, A. Paul Weber u.Paul Wilhelm Wenger.
Hg. Dirk Heisserer. Stuttgart 1997"  - with a  photo of a strange
Juenger-portrait. It could be a source for Juengers Goslar years.

Greetings Hartmut Dietz
