NOVEMBER 1939
What one uses in war.
(1) What everyone knows about.
(2) The despair of those who don’t want to fight.
(3) The pride of those whom nothing compelled to leave but who left in order to avoid being alone.
(4) The hunger of men who enlist because they have lost their job
(5) Many noble feelings like:
(a) solidarity in suffering.
(b) contempt that wants to remain silent.
(c) the absence of hatred.It is all put to a despicable use and it all leads to death.

You’ve established a wonderful thing here with Hitler. you created it, you nurtured it, you made it your own. nobody on the faculty of any college or university in thus part of the country can so much as utter the word Hitler without a nod in your direction, literally or metaphorically. this is the center, the unquestioned source. He is now your Hitler, Gladney’s Hitler. it must be deeply satisfying for you. the college is internationally known as a result of Hitler studies. it has an identity, a sense of achievement. You’ve involved an entire system around this figure, a structure with countless subcultures and interrelated fields of study, a history within history. I marvel at the effort. it was masterful, shrewd and stunningly preemptive. it’s what I want to do with Elvis.
