"Thanks, Tom. I'm glad to see Büchenbacher's memoirs getting attention; I think
the Info3 publication, and the appendices prepared by Ansgar Martins, will be an
important source for anthroposophists trying to come to terms with the Nazi era.
There are some definite problems with Büchenbacher's text (it is a retrospective
account, for one thing, written decades after the fact, and much of it is marked
by conspiracist assumptions -- he claims that the Nazi party was founded by
"occult lodges" and such), but despite its drawbacks it offers valuable
historical material. I wrote a bit about it on the Waldorf Critics list last
month:
