Jünger

Jünger, less prophetically, predicted that the generation that fought in the trenches would lead Germany to new greatness.

What does fascinate Jünger, and about which he has the most interesting things to say, is the issue of physical courage.

Jünger had delighted in the war and had defiantly written to say so.

In another raid, this time on a British trench, Jünger's men are cut off and captured.

Jünger's units were based for much of the latter part of the First World War in occupied Belgium.
