Sword of the Spirit

More about the book

Commissioned by the Third Reich, this collection of aphorisms by Friedrich Nietzsche was intended as inspiration for Wehrmacht soldiers during WWII. While original copies remain in Germany, those sent to the front often met tragic fates, destroyed by war or used for warmth in harsh conditions. The book reflects the complex interplay of philosophy and conflict, offering a glimpse into the mindset of soldiers during a tumultuous period in history.
