Götterdammerung

Hermann Hendrich “Wotan - Götterdämmerung”

"For decades, since the twilight years of the 19th century, something had been stirring in the German-speaking lands of central Europe, something that shook off the heavy-handed rationalism of a confident age and plunged into the deep places where human consciousness merged with the forces of nature. In the wake of a lost war and a bitter economic depression, that archetypal force seized on an unlikely vehicle -- an Austrian artist turned political agitator named Adolf Hitler -- and swept up most of Europe into a maelstrom that ended, as the myths of Wotan always end, in Götterdammerung"
