I read this earlier this year. A German right wing nationalist and former revolutionary who didn’t like Hitler or the Nazis (but was friendly with Rohm and another fairly high ranking guy in the SS who I cannot remember the name of)
He turned down chances to join both the SA and the SS. Partly because he was making pretty good money as a scriptwriter in the German film industry and partly because he found the whole ‘heil Hitler’ cult of personality grotesque. The book was an interesting account of Germany from the Weimar period all the way through to allied post war occupation of Germany when he had to answer the Questionnaire that led to writing the book.

Reading this at the moment. He mentions Junger quite a bit.
He seems to have a ‘notice me senpai’ attitude toward Junger.
Junger was critical of The Outlaws for failure to mention that anti Semitism did motivate the assassination of Rathenau. Von Solomon’s ‘it didn’t motivate me, there were other motives as well’ defense does come across a bit weak.

Not as fun as The Outlaws but enjoying his occasional bout of disgust at Amerifats
