Ernst Juenger and Martin Heidegger

Thank you all who answered my question. Looking forward
to the year 2002 and the publication of the complete, seemingly
extensive comments by Martin Heidegger on _The Worker_
and _Total Mobilization_.

The inspiration for _The Worker_ seems to have come
from Oswald Spengler. A pity that Spengler was=20
rather rude in answering EJ when he sent a
dedicated copy of _The Worker_. But I think EJ
answered after WWII. Then, of course, Oswald Spengler
could not in turn reply. On the other hand one has to admit
that Spengler misunderstood what EJ tried to say in this
important work. Even great macrohistorians can be wrong
sometimes.

There was, in my opinion, no need for EJ to be ashamed
of the book after WWII, as some biographers seem to claim.

With Juengerian greetings

Bertil
