Books about the superiority of the medieval world to the classical one.

I don’t like the classical world just cause the modern world reminds me more of the classical world than the medieval one.
And there must be a reason why Nazis and communists both preferred neoclassical over gothic.

Hitler and Goebbels hated Gothic architecture and refused to construct any buildings in that style, regarding Gothic architecture as ‘Christian’ and ‘Asiatic’ so not Aryan enough for their liking.

> Hitler's opinions on medieval architecture are ambivalent . ... he had no real appreciation for either the Romanesque style or the Gothic style.The typical Gothic cathedral was too asiatic in appearance, too over decorated and gloomy .

Hitler believed Gothic architecture reflected the glum Christian view of life and detested its architecture and art for that reason. Goebbels wrote in his diary:

> “What a difference between the benevolent, smiling Zeus and the pain-wracked, crucified Christ. . . . What a difference between a gloomy cathedral and a light, airy ancient temple. . . . The Führer cannot relate to the Gothic mind. He hates gloom and brooding mysticism.”

They didn’t. The SS were known to constantly engage in homosexual love.

The SA you mean? The SS (run by the bourgeois Himmler) had strict rules against homosexuality
