Gold in the Furnace: Experiences in Post-War Germany (The Savitri Devi Archive Centennial Edition of Savitri Devi's Works Book 2)

Gold in the Furnace is an ardent National Socialistâ€™s vivid and moving account of life in occupied Germany in the aftermath of World War II, based on extensive travels and interÂviews conducted in 1948 and 1949.

Savitri Devi is scathing in her description of Allied brutality and hypocÂrisy: millions of German civilians died in Allied firebombing; millions more perished after the war, driven from their homes by Russians, Czechs, and Poles; more than a million prisonÂers of war perished from planned starvation or outright murder in Allied concentration camps; untold thousands more disappeared into slave labor camps from the Congo to Siberia.

Savitri Devi describes in vivid detail how individual National Socialists were subjected to â€œde-Nazificationâ€ by Germanyâ€™s democÂratic â€œliberatorsâ€: murder, torture, starvation, show-trials, imprisonment, and execution for the higher echelons; petty indignities and recanÂtations extorted under the threat of imprisÂonment, hunger, and the denial of liveliÂhood for ordinary party members. She also chroniÂcles the systematic plunder of Germany by the Allies: the clear-cutting of ancient forests, the dismantling of factories, the theft of natuÂral resources.

In spite of the disaster, Savitri Devi did not view it as the end of National Socialism, but as a purificationâ€”a trial by fire separating the base metal from the goldâ€”a prelude to a new beginÂning. Thus Savitri also devotes chapters to preÂsenting the basic philosophy and the constructive political program of National Socialism.

Gold in the Furnace is a valuable historiÂcal document: of the National Socialists who never lost faith, despite suffering, perseÂcution and martyrdomâ€”of the ordinary Germans who revered Hitler even after the warâ€”of the widespread rumors of Hitlerâ€™s survivalâ€”of the hopes of imminent National Socialist revival, perhaps in the aftermath of a Third World Warâ€”of the expectations of Soviet victory in such a warâ€”and of the philosophy, experiences, and unique personality of a remarkable woman.
