Thanks for Waldgang!  I read German only with a dictionary, so I
appreciate translations, especially for such a prolific writer as
Jünger.

I assume you are looking for translations hidden in journals, not book
titles that have been translated.  In NEW GERMAN CRITIQUE No.59, 1993,
25-32, you will find two very interesting articles by Jünger, written in
his post-WWI militarist phase:  "War and Photography" (1930) and "On
Danger" (1931).  One of the more interesting pieces of criticism on
Jünger is by George Steiner, "The Zero at the Bone," ENCOUNTER No.35,
1970, 72-76.  It is unfortunately very negative and I think ultimately
wrong, yet very perceptive and stimulating.
