Fwd: Revisiting The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich | History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine

[Markekohut]

Notice has been taken on this list of Pynchon's Germany-bashing, to be euphemistic about it.
We remember how TRP came to distinguish the Deep Germany from the historical Germany,

The estimable Ron Rosenbaum, rereading Shirer's important book, focuses on how Shirer blamed Germany, historical Germany, in specific ways and as embodied in specific people's ideas.

Interesting if interested.
