Talk:Hanns Johst

message: Note that the the translation "Militant League" is standard for for this organisation. Literal minded word-for-word translation is often misleading because of the different connotations of words and combinations of words in other languages. Google clearly shows a far greater number of hits for Militant League  than for Battle League , even ignoring the Wikipedia ones, because it includes scholarly publications e.g  Even The German Quarterly translates it as Militant League. See Susan Russell on "Theatre in the Third Reich, the Prewar Years: Essays on Theatre in Nazi Germany" by Glen W. Gadberry, The German Quarterly, Vol. 70, No. 3 (Summer, 1997), pp. 313-314 Paul B 17:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Google shows twice as many hits for kampfbund battle league than for kampfbund militant league. What keywords did you use in your search? The first combination gives me 316 hits in google. Your combination gives me 165 hits. I'm not entering an edit war, so I'm looking forward to your keywords.

text: BTW: German Quarterly is like referring to Popular Science. So no credit there. Dylansmrjones 17:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's about the organisation, not the term Kampfbund in itself. I used "Battle League for German Culture" and "Militant League for German Culture", as the links I provided already indicate. I've no idea what you mean about the German Quarterly. It's an article on Theatre in the third reich, referring to Rosenberg's organisation. It has nothing to do with 'popular science'. If you are just sneering at the German Quarterly, which is an entirely respectable journal, such comments are really not helpful. Paul B 17:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The entry says that Johst was "unable to reestablish his career as a writer" after the Allies released him from prison at the age of 63 in 1953. If so, how did he support himself for the remaining 25 years of his life? Did he receive income from his previously published work? Live on the German equivalent of "welfare" or "social security" payments? 
Perhaps someone who is a specialist in the history of "West Germany" (1949-1989) can add a section on Johst's life as a "senior citizen" in the BRD. (71.22.47.232 (talk) 08:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The revision of 08:05, 9 July 202 adds this statement:
In 1994, Tuli Kupferberg wrote the book When I Hear the Word 'Culture' I Reach for My Gun. In 2008 he wrote a book, Cartoons Collages and Perverbs [sic] with a cartoon in it reading "WHEN I HEAR THE WORD 'GUN' I REACH FOR MY CULTURE".
Statement is not attributed and has no references.  The later cartoon is familiar to me.  The 1994 book is not, and I think both should be sourced.  Sojambi Pinola (talk) 02:12, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
