It is often unclear to me when he is mentioning Ernst Jünger (example: 242.)

On page 131 there is a curious remark of Gertrud about the "available letters": 1933, 1934 and 1935 have but one letter each which is preposterous given the number of times he lectured outside of Freiburg and his habit of writing to Elfride when away from Marburg or Freiburg.

Page 119 gives the lie to any claim that Heidegger was physically unfit for duty.

June 14, 1945 (page 189) should trouble any philosopher:

We go about our daily business with great sorrow and the essential truth is still quite unutterable.

Not long after we have February 17, 1946 (pg 191 - the letters are not numbered by the editors) with

Given the essential unfathomability & unpredictability of events today, one can never say for sure such things as that the officers have been kept behind.

Yet he never went on to speak of "total war" and the slaughter of the Polish officers and intellectuals at Katyn?
Contrast this with his letter to Elfride when the war is going as expected:

Nov 6, 39
Great transformations in thought & human existence are perhaps already preparing themselves, the contours of which we can hardly conceive.

There is no lament for the Poles.

May 18, 40
In addition, the invasions are sufficiently well-rehearsed.

This is the letter in which is reference to "warriors" was not deemed suitable for an entry in the index.  Here he speaks as if Ernst Jünger spoke truth.

warriors 167

the single person disappears as an individual, but at the same time he has the opportunity to be informed of how the whole thing stands in the quickest possible way at any day & any time.

His apologists will have this as meant to reassure his delicate spouse. A few years later he will have no word of the fate of his sons for weeks, months.  For many others it would be years, with some not returning for ten years if they returned at all.

Again, June 14, 1945,

As long as the young men are missing from university, any work is only half-done, with no opportunity fir venturing another attempt at sowing the seeds of a real spiritual tradition. Perhaps we ought to try to bring people together in our house, without falling prey to the usual culture industry.

Within weeks people not of his choosing were under his roof. And of course the houses in which Heidegger had lived in Marburg came through the war unscathed.

Now he would wait for the clash of the titans, America and Russia, the outcome of the hubris of reckoning.

Strangely - or not - economics is not in the index, and I recall but one mention of an economist (economics was Elfride's academic interest.) See page 83.

For Derrida on Heidegger on spirit, see pages 133 and 137.

For index entries on other Nazi "thinkers" see his mentions of Bäumler, Krieck and Rosenberg.  Note the entries for Carl F. von Weizsäcker whose view of ethics and "camouflage" and revisionism may have been close to that of Heidegger.

Compare: Elfride and mistresses; Veza Canetti and the mistresses
Note: neither "soul" not "Stein, Edith" nor "Geiger, Afra" are found in the index.
Neither Bonhoeffer - neither Karl nor Dietrich - figure in the annotated index of names or the index tout court.
In the annotated index of names, Elisabeth Blochmann (Lisi) is listed as a friend.
Geiger, Afra is found in the in the annotated index of names.

Blackamoor is not in the index.
Moritz Geiger is missing.
Erich Frank is missing and is his death (1945)
The death of Ernst Cassirer is missing (also 1945).  See "neo_Kantianism".
The death of Bergson is missing (but see letter pg 71)
Love is not in the index (nor was responsibility, trust, guilt, shame ... )

Comparison: womanizers Elias Canetti, Paul Tillich and Bertrand Russell; promiscuous Ludwig Wittgenstein, André Gide.

Note: Heidegger was almost engaged or engaged when he met his student Elfride Petri and "confided" in her - some nine years before confiding in Hannah Arendt.
