Both works in this volume ? a play by Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977)
and an unusual contemporary study of Nazi Germany by Sebastian
Haffner (1907-99) ? bear testimony to the disturbing events that
were to change German history in the aftermath of World War I. The
abridged translation of The Devil's General, which was approved by
Zuckmayer himself, is about a World War I flier who commits suicide
as he comes to realize the unintended havoc he has wrought in his
obsession to fly. Sebastian Haffner, whose real name was Raimund
Pretzel (which was changed with the publication of Germany: Jekyll
and Hyde), remained a controversial journalist all his life,
working for both left-wing and right-wing journals. The work
excerpted here was written in 1940 when Haffner, reared in a
liberal tradition, was in a British detention camp as an enemy
alien.
