I recently read Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel (Michael Hoffman's English translation of Jünger's 1961 revision). It was very interesting. Anyway, this place has a bunch of Germans, so I have a question for you guys; what is Jünger's reputation in Germany nowadays? Did the 100th anniversary of World War I spark discussion of him and his work?

Germany doesn't have history beyond the WW2. Nothing happened before that. That's when Germany started and that's how it'll be always defined.

I thought WWI was fought by Prussia.

Actually it was the German Reich that existed since 1871. Prussia was just the largest chunk of it.

So are history classes in Germany basically holocaust classes?

Hilariously enough, history teachers don't actually have that much time teaching such modern stuff. History books also tend to get dry as shit once you hit the 1800s or 1900s and the amount of polidick quotes goes through the roof.

Lol, I would've never guessed, although that makes a lot of sense considering the long history of the region.

European history immediately post-Napoleon is amazing. The entire Concert of Europe concept is cool as fuck. And right after it, you had Bismarck playing original 4D chess and taking on Prussia's biggest enemies and maneuvering right under their noses. Too bad History classes focus almost exclusively on muh Springtime of Nations and muh Partition of Niggerland.

It's based on a book series so I will put it here. The salt and reeing in the comics is glorious. Especially since they are in development to push a Shaniqua Drew TV show.

Really? They did a couple of Nancy Drew adaptations (a film and a TV show) in 2019 , and both starred a white girl.

That's why she had to die.
