Marie Adelheid, Prinzessin Reuss-zur Lippe was a rebellious young
woman and aspiring writer from an ancient princely family who
became a fervent Nazi. Heinrich Vogeler was a well-regarded
Jugendstil artist who was to join the German Communist Party and
later emigrate to the Soviet Union. Ludwig Roselius was a
successful Bremen businessman who had made a fortune from his
invention of decaffeinated coffee. What was it about the
revolutionary climate following Germany's defeat in World War I
that induced three such different personalities to collaborate in
the production of a slim volume of poetry - entitled Gott in mir -
about the indwelling of the divine within the human? Part I of
Gossman's study situates the poem in the ideological context that
made the collaboration possible - pantheism, Darwinism,
disillusionment with traditional liberal values, theosophy and
volkisch religions, and Lebensreform. In part II Gossman outlines
the subsequent life of the Princess who, until her death in 1993,
continued to support and celebrate the ideals and heroes of
National Socialism. The aim of Gossman's study is to gain insight
into the sources and character of the "Nazi Conscience." As such it
is invaluable reading for anybody interested in understanding
German society during the inter-war and Nazi periods
