In which year did Jünger decisively turn against Nazi totalitarianism?

  • 1939

  • 1941

  • 1943

  • 1945

Answer

Jünger's disillusionment with Nazism culminated in 1943, a pivotal year marking his decisive shift against totalitarian control. The oppressive nature of the regime and its deviation from the initial conservative revolutionary ideals he had supported led him to openly criticize and resist the regime's excesses. Jünger's experiences on the Eastern Front and witnessing the atrocities committed further reinforced his opposition to Nazi tyranny.
