Title: The German historical experience with the Nazis told as a folk tale
Review: Ottfried Preussler, a German WW II veteran, wrote about his book: My Krabat tells [...] my personal story, the story of my generation and the story of all young people who get in touch with power and its temptations and who become entangled."The story is based on an old wendish (west slavic) tale of which it takes over only a small part but is also a parable on totalitarian systems, how they are run by means of force and seduction and how the individuals can get away.It is interesting to see that the miller is described not only as the demonic master (which he is) but later on also as a human slave to the haunting journeyman and thus serves only as a cog in the wheel in the evil system.
