She later wrote in her book, Gold in the Furnace, that the gods had ordained that I should have a glimpse of ruins, bitter, irony of fate.
Why people recommend it
Gold in the Furnace by Savitri Devi is a post-war ideological text written by a prominent esoteric Nazi sympathizer that details her travels through devastated post-war Germany and her mystical interpretation of National Socialism. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans brought up the book across multiple episodes to examine Devi's writings and her experiences in Europe following the Second World War. Evans recounted how Devi returned to France in late 1948 and immediately began writing the work to document her observations, including her specific perspective that the gods had ordained her to witness the bitter ruins of Germany. Furthermore, Evans utilized the book to illustrate the evolution of Devi's extreme ideology, explaining how she conceptualized Hitlerism as something far beyond the traditional framework of the old National Socialists. In these podcast discussions, the book served as a primary historical artifact used to trace the origins and post-war survival of fascist thought and its adaptation into a quasi-religious world-view.
