I remember that in one book of his on the Weimar Republic he came up with another one of historiography's blinding oversimplifications - namely that the German Jugendbewegung (Youth Movement) was, through their idealism and commitment to ideals that were not those of Anglo-Saxon pragmatism, 100% implicated in Nationalsocialism. Now, whilst they did have many daft ideas and whilst many of them did become in right-wing movements, his blanket indictment does show a somewhat twisted perspective, IMHO.
