just thinking about the title stahlgewitten. in imperial germany, the term "iron" had special meaning. Bismarch the Iron chancellor, the Iron cross, the 16th infantry division known as the Iron division, pounding iron nails into wooden facsimilies of hindenberg. yet, junger refers to steel wind, or storm of steel. is there a discernable reason for this, or am i waxing poetic after too many beers? ---Kenneth
