...addressed "Only for the Führer and Party Member v. Ribbentrop (No Copy)," and said of Edward VIII that "for him a German-British alliance is an urgent necessity and a guiding principle of British foreign policy."

Germany, it seemed, could find neither the literary talent nor the inclination to come to grips with the most, overwhelming experience in its history...
...protective indifference or private greed let it all happen. In short, the guilt of the technically innocent. What lends urgency to their literary inquiry is the parallel most of them see between the new smugness and materialism in Germany and the spirit that existed among self-seeking Germans under Hitler.
