" It may well be that Jahnke met Juenger in the military ministry in the early twenties, when Juenger worked in the "Vorschriften-Kommission" in the same ministry. Also, there must have been connections to right wing terrorists such as Schlageter and the OC etc. who were best known to E.J. as well. It is not my field of interest, but anyway, it is good to hear from you again regards, Ulrich Gary Kern schrieb: > > Dear Juengerites: > > My research into spies--Spitzel--has led me to another odd correlation > > with Juenger.
