I am likewise so attracted. The crazy combination of technoworship and 
traditional (premodern) ideas and hopes (elaborated upon in yesterday's 
posting by WildForest) is just too perfect. The "real" Wehrner surely 
would have learned (by then) to surpress such sentiments.  However, I 
suspect someone will eventually turn up the words outside the pages of GR, 
which will only go to show that old nazis never learn.
