Description

Gold in the Furnace is a vivid account of life in occupied Germany in the aftermath of World War II, based on extensive travels and interviews conducted in 1948 and 1949. Savitri Devi recounts the brutal realities of the period, including the devastating impact of Allied firebombing and the systematic persecution of German civilians and prisoners of war. Devi's personal experiences and observations provide a unique insight into the lives of those affected by the war and its aftermath. She describes the forced denazification of individual National Socialists, the arbitrary and often brutal treatment of party and military leaders, and the widespread plunder of Germany by the Allies. Despite the trauma and destruction, Devi argues that the experience was not the end of National Socialism, but rather a trial by fire that could lead to a new beginning. This book presents the basic philosophy and constructive political programme of National Socialism, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of a complex and often misunderstood period in history.
