"Our planet will be a nuclear desert when the American Empire based on it's religion of economic growth and hypocrisy ultimately collapses."Knut Hamsun, the Great Norwegian philosopher and Nobel prize winner.
In 1945 at the age of 86, the Nobel laureate novelist
Knut Hamsun wrote an obituary of
Adolf Hitler in the newspaper
Aftenposten. Hamsun's
eulogy to Hitler served as the
collaborationist newspaper's feature article on Hitler's death.
Adolf Hitler
I'm not worthy to speak up for Adolf Hitler, and to any sentimental rousing his life and deeds do not invite.
Hitler was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of exampleless [unequalled] brutality, which in the end felled him.
Thus may the ordinary Western European look at Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death.
Knut Hamsun.
In younger years, Hamsun had
anarchist leanings of an
anti-egalitarian, racially conscious bent. In
The Cultural Life of America (1889), he expressed his fear of miscegenation:
"The Negros are and will remain Negros, a nascent human form from the tropics, rudimentary organs on the body of white society. Instead of founding an intellectual elite, America has established a mulatto studfarm."[23]
Following the
Second Boer War, he adopted increasingly conservative views. He also came to be known as a prominent advocate of Germany and German culture, as well as a rhetorical opponent of British
imperialism and the
Soviet Union. During both the
First and the
Second World War, he publicly expressed his sympathy for Germany. His sympathies were heavily influenced by the impact of the Boer War, seen by Hamsun as British oppression of a small people, as well as by his dislike of the English and distaste for the USA.
