Kurt Eggers on War

hadnitsa5

Kurt Eggers was the editor of the SS newspaper Das Schwarze Korps and an SS war correspondent. After he was killed on the Russian front in 1943, an SS regiment was named after him: theSS-Standarte Kurt Eggers. In short, Kurt Eggers was a true National Socialist warrior-poet, whose works provide a fascinating look into the soul of the ideal SS warrior. 

”War is like the white-hot fire of the crucible. The slags turn into charcoal and encrust, smoke and glisten, and only the metal that is genuine and true and pure remains.”

”War reveals the genuine values, values that are independent of the daily stock-market fluctuation of pseudo-values. Manliness, discipline, overcoming, service and sacrifice, devotion and greatness, those are the values about which war asks, by which human hearts are measured, affirmed or rejected.”

”It is not true that war makes men coarse, at most it rips the mask from the face, and the cowards are recognized as cowardly, the coarse as coarse and the noble as noble.”

”Woe to the folks who, satiated on booty, begin to live a life of pleasure without struggle: the seed of decay is laid in them and long illness, painful death awaits them.”
