Which of Jünger's works represented his change of heart about Nazi totalitarianism?

  • Storm of Steel

  • The Glass Bees

  • Der Friede

  • On the Marble Cliffs

Answer

"Der Friede", Ernst Jünger's 1943 novel, marked a significant turning point in his ideology. It signaled his disillusionment with Nazi totalitarianism and his embrace of a more humanistic and pacifist outlook. Although written during World War II, the book offers a critique of militarism and authoritarianism, suggesting a shift in Jünger's political thought away from the radical nationalism of his earlier works.
