So it’s okay to be into hitler and racial purity, as long as you’re wasted? Maybe the whole 3rd reich thing was just a national Oktoberfest bender gone wrong.

Who said it was ok? Not me.

I just made the point that in the 70s people like Bowie or punks in swastikas sought to cause outrage in different ways and push things as far as they could. In Bowie’s case he was out of his mind and later repented. A lot of it was nihilism basically, but most of them grew up.

Which bit of that is untrue?

Not trying to be pedantic, but I would be cautious with Ohler as a source. Richard Evans (among others) demolished this book when it came out.

Interesting… I enjoyed the book … and you sort of ‘want’ it to be true… but it’s not a version of events I’d heard before. Basically that Blitzreig == meth binge
