Theweleit in "Maennerkoerper: Zur Psychoanalyse des weissen Terrors" says that EJ does not write about war. For EJ to produce a text like a "Storm of Steel" has nothing to do with artisitic self expression ...The purpose of his writing is to combat the aliveness of experience to turn into something lifeless. These texts are acts of literary homicide: their language cannot describe, or narrate, or represent, or argue"
