...Storm Troop leader, joined a murderous raid against the Socialists and Communists of Coburg, a raid which Hitler, in Mein Kampf, singled out as the turning point in his career. Thereafter Rommel headed Hitler's personal police, the SS, and traveled with the leader and his adjutant, Bruckner, sharing with Bruckner the honor of sleeping in front of Hitler's bedroom door. When Hitler shook off the shackles of Versailles, Rommel went back to the army, wrote a manual, Infantry Attacks, which glowing little Paul Joseph Goebbels last fortnight, ordered into its twelfth edition (TIME, July...

It is easy to see why it was one of the first works burned by the Nazis when they came to power. Laid in Jerusalem at the time of the Third Crusade, it offers a setting in which Christian, Jew and Mohammedan can hardly help being at one another's throats. But by restricting them...
Rather unexpectedly, the play comes to life not in its dramatic scenes but in its didactic ones. At such moments, even in Refugee Bruckner's halting translation, Nathan the Wise has timeliness and force.
