I was just going by the following from an interview with Julien Hervier:
HERVIER: What was your position on the Nazi movement during its early
stages?
JUNGER: At first, obviously, they had a whole series of right ideas.
That was what brought them their initial success. For example, the fact
that they wanted to broadly challenge the Treaty of Versailles and its
consequences. Naturally, this struck me as an excellent idea. But the
way it was implemented made me more and more uneasy, and in fact, I did
not distance myself from it until after Crystal Night. These were
things that deeply repelled me and that were, among other things, at
the source of my conception of 'On the Marble Cliffs.' I depicted the
situation there - in mythical fashion, of course, but very precisely,
and the people who were aimed at certainly felt aimed at.
