movement itself. If in his previous works he demanded that educational science describe the educational effect on the community, he now explains the educational significance of the Nazi mass movement. The community should again be ordered in such a way that the "people" once again appears as an "organic" totality and the individual members see themselves as "members". As a "disciplinarian", the state was to bring the whole people to consciously participate in this task. Here, a basic intention of National Socialist ideology becomes clear, which the "movement" sees as being realised only through the transformed education of youth. Furthermore, the emancipation of women is condemned. The woman belonged in the family and had no place in public life. "The political Amazon, the symbol of feminine ages" appears as a "caricature of manhood and womanhood at the same time". In the second part of his "Nationalpolitische Erziehung", Krieck develops a concept of school and education as a counter-proposal to reform pedagogy. Both are subject to a need for reform that can only be initiated by the "völkisch" community. For Krieck, school continues not to be a place where values, norms and goals are taught, but rather: "The principle of the völkisch school reform is: to integrate, to incorporate on all sides, so that education can grow out of the organic bond". Another essential aspect of his work is the concept of "race", which is glorified as a mythical symbol: "Race manifests itself as an order of life, a power that permeates attitude, direction of will and history, which reveals itself out of instinct, the feeling for life [...] and thus [...] elevates itself to a task". The term must always be linked to the political objective and is defined by the ruling class. It serves the education and upbringing of the new human being: "Out of the general mixture and emasculation of the liberal age, a racially strong humanity is selected and bred up as the backbone of the nascent people and the supporting layer of the overall national state." For Krieck, the Führer principle seems to be the guarantee for compensating for any unavoidable tensions that might arise as a result of the upheaval. Only this dogma could hold the movement together in such a case. According to Giesecke, the commercial success of this book - 80,000 copies were sold by 1941 - can be explained on the one
