The Nazi view on war is quite well-known, but flawed IMO. War does not only exalt us in our spiritual nature, it does not only make heroes, it also breaks us down and makes us shellshocked shadows of our former selves.
True, battle can be seen as a test of strength, wits and will, but all that goes out of the window when you see young boys take up arms and join in. Hope vanishes in the sight of young women being raped and civilians being shelled 'by accident'.
The horrors of war are equally well-known. Even though those horrors can make us stronger, war is nothing glorious. War, the destruction of our fellow men, is not in our nature; struggle is.
