These meetings were private. Maybe EJ remebered >Best as the völkischen student who was engaged in the fighting against the >french occupation of the Rheinland in the twenties. Best was no world war >one-officer (born 1903), but maybe EJs sympathy for him is to unterstand if >you read sentences like this in "Der Krieg und das Recht": "Der Kampf ist >das Notwendige, Ewige, die Kampfziele sind zeitbedingt und wechseln. >Deshalb kann es auch auf den Erfolg des Kampfes nicht ankommen." > >It is striking how many of the old "Nationalrevolutionäre" and other >members of the KR met in Paris during the war. Besides EJ there were >Ottfried Rademacher, Friedrich Hielscher, Toepfer - who supported Niekisch >from 1929 till 1934. Does anyone know more names ? EJ mentioned these old >connections in Strahlungen, 20.4.43. > >>Personal friendships or protection from a nazi doesn´t mean WIDERSTAND!!! > >I think so too. > >>> As I heard from a still living old man (no Nazi, but before and after 1933 >>> nationalist and "Volkstumsaktivist"): Best was one of the "good" Nazis... >>There were no good nazis. Never! > >It is not my intention to save any Nazi. This was only a little example for >the reasons why the NS-system worked: Besides the Nazis there were enough >conservative elites and "Konservative Revolutionäte" which picked up the >things they liked and fade out the things they disliked. And so the machine >began to run. But to save their souls after cooperating with the system >some of them divided the Nazis into "good" and "bad". > >>> If some of you are interested to discuss "Der Friede" I could organize to >>> send you some special prints of it. Please email me directly for your >>> adresses. >>What are "special prints"? > >I mean "Privatdrucke". The Hamburg merchant Alfred Toepfer, who knew EJ >since 1934, was in Paris from 1940 till 1944. He took some part in EJS idea >for writing "Der Friede" (see Strahlungen, 26.7.43). >Toepfer edited Privatdrucke of "Der Friede" two times after the war, in >1965 and, I think, the seventies (what says des Coudres?).
