ernst jünger in cyberspace

mailing list archive - Juenger film query, plus EJ and Nietzsche...

Greetings!

I recently came across a Swedish web-page which features information 
regarding a film entitled "102 Years in the Heart of Europe".  It apparently 
contains the last ever interviews conducted with Jünger.  Does anyone know 
anything more about this work, especially its status in Britain?  I contacted 
the film’s UK distributors RDF, but received no response from them.  The 
site address is www.martin-co.se/proj1.htm

On another note, I wonder whether other subscribers have any strong opinions 
in relation to Nietzsche’s influence on Jünger.  It appears to me that, 
whilst Nietzsche becomes less of an overt reference point for Jünger in the 
post-war years, many of the latter’s views actually became more Nietzschean, 
in a certain sense, as time progressed.  Certainly Venator seems to be 
something of a Nietzschean ‘Free Spirit’, despite his claims to the 
contrary.  In my opinion, this standpoint has more in common with FN than 
EJ’s fairly simplistic-Darwinian interpretation of Nietzsche’s output (see 
the English newspaper article ‘Why I wrote the Storm of Steel’, for 
example) of the 20’s.  Does anyone want to corroborate this, or prove me 
wrong?

In Amicitia,

Nick Nedzynski.
