I assumed the Jews had something to do with the edits but it turns out Jünger just chucked out. Sad.

*cucked

I've always heard that later versions of the book were neutered. What version SHOULD I be reading?!

>>9705016
1929 edition published by Howard Fertig, not Penguin. It will have the extra subtitle: From the Diary of a German Storm-Troop Officer on the Western Front

>>9705088
You're a saint.

>tfw we will never have a Junger lead Germany and esoteric nationalism will never be a thing
Hitler was a faggot.

Early in the book he talks about meeting up with a French girl several times. He doesn't go into details much. Was he fuggin her?

>>9705194
Not sure, but something interesting is that around that scene he threw in a bunch of anti-French insults and mocked this one French girl (not sure if it's the one you're thinking of). But then he changed all that to praise in the revised version. Really lame.

>>9705213
FYI Junger and Schmitt were massive frenchaboos.

Only France reads Junger and keeps him in print.

>>9705213
Yeah the early interwar versions of the book are much better I hear

>>9704997
>>9705213
Why do people get butthurt that Junger got sick of nationalism/politics after WWII?

He saw that Hitler gambled literally the entire future of Germany and lost. Junger, rightly, didn't want anything to do with that shit anymore.

Hitler was a retard.

>>9704818
Explain, is the issue that later published versions are altered, or that all published versions differ from the manuscript?

I am unfamiliar with Junger.

>>9706208
Junger re-wrote later versions (the ones still currently in print, I guess) to remove the nationalism, which was kind of the source of why everyone loved it when it first came out.

Hitler loved it so much that he allowed Junger to publish On the Marble Cliffs, which, depending on who you ask, is either a critique of Nazism or Communism or both. Either way he had realized soon enough that Nazism was gonna be a big mistake.

>>9706207
You shouldn't butcher art regardless of what happens. If he was really upset about Hitler he could've just added a forward about it, no need to ruin his book.

>>9705088
I've found an edition translated by Fertig, but it was printed in 1996, is this version still unedited?

>>9707447
I also want to know this.

>>9707447
Yes that's unedited, it's the one I have.

I read the penguin copy a few months ago. I thought it was boring desu. Mayne it's a crap version though.

Are you a woman?

>>9708759
Yes it is crap. OP's quote, my favorite passage, isn't even in that edition. Get the Howard Fertig one.

Anyone who read this book can you give me any of yours insight to Junger's later works like Copse 125? Was it any good?

This shit and Glass Bees are the only Junger in print, why not put Eumeswil back out there? Quite a timely book, desu.

>>9706179
>frenchaboos
This. Doesn't he also shill some French lit in the book? I forgot, but I think he does.

>>9706207
Ignorant piece of shit. Read a fucking book beside high school level textbooks.

>>9711926

>says the guy who doesnt even read and gets his conspiracy theory shit from youtube videos.

>>9706179
Junger was also in the French Foreign Legion prior to the war
