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?
