More about the book

Focusing on the paradox of Hitler's priorities during the Allied bombing, the narrative reveals his greater concern for cultural artifacts over civilian casualties. Propagandists aimed to frame this as a sign of sensitivity rather than cruelty, showcasing a complex relationship between art and power. Wolf Lepenies explores this contradiction in "The Seduction of Culture in German History," emphasizing the need to comprehend the historical context to grasp the implications of such thinking on German identity and cultural values.
