ABSTRACT
This chapter explains Lion Feuchtwnger, a popular novelist from the Weimar era, offers concerns about a Germany led by Adolf Hitler. The war liberated the barbarian instincts of the individual and society to a degree that was previously unimaginable. Among the intellectuals it is called OBG: Organised Barbarity of Germany. Anti-logical and anti-intellectual in its being and ideology, National Socialism strives to depose reason and install in its place emotion and drive to be precise, barbarity. To gag the intellect and art is one of the most important parts of its programme and since it proclaims that they can be accomplished with the least danger, it is here that it has its greatest success. What the intellectuals and artists have therefore to expect once the Third Reich is definitely established is clear: extermination. It is therefore the demand of naked self-preservation that all intellectuals struggle with body and soul and all their abilities against the Third Reich.
