-hie begins his article with a claim which, until recently, was taken at face value: that he coined the
term innere Emigration in a 1933 letter to the Reichskulturwalter Hinkel. As we shall later see, this
claim is problematic. But Thie also claims to have predicted and then witnessed a profound movement in
the literary world, namely that those opposed to the Hitler regime began to practice a quiet, gentle
opposition which set them dangerously apart from their contemporary conformist fellows.

JUNGER
Never a member of the National Socialist movement around Adolf Hitler, Jnger refused a
seat offered to him in the Reichstagfollowing the Nazi Party's ascension to power in 1933,
and he refused the invitation to head the German Academy of Literature (Die deutsche
Akademie der Dichtung).

On 14 June 1934, Jnger wrote a "letter of rejection" to the Vlkischer Beobachter, the
official Nazi newspaper, in which he requested that none of his writings be published in
it.[7] Jnger also refused to speak on Goebbels's radio. He was one of the few "nationalist"
authors whose name was never found on the frequent declarations of loyalty to Hitler.

the evil and "jovial" head forester being Hermann Gring.

magnitude of the situation.
