mailing list archive - Re: EJ in WWII

Even if I was a member of the German-French Brigade(nowadays Eurokorps), I
wouldn't say that military make you a Jüngerite.
Please never forget to be critic, even if Jünger was kind of admirable in
some ways...

As an Italian infantryman (sort of), I'd like to know how many of us
listmembers
had to wear a uniform (or still wear it).  Could it be that military
experiences
(however short) contribute to make one a Jungerite?  Though I had no combat
experience and worked as a typist, my one-year military experience helped me
to
grasp quite quickly the basic ideas in Der Arbeiter.
