One wonders why. Unlike so many in postwar Germany, Baeumler did not die in an internment camp; yet he was meant to experience a different kind of death. The professorship and authority Baeumler enjoyed in the prewar world was never returned to him after his time in postwar detention. He was meant to die in obscurity, along with all his ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrincipal among Baeumler's ideas was his treatment of Friedrich Nietzsche, which has been censored in the world established after the war. Just as \u003ci\u003einterning\u003c\/i\u003e someone to death is not precisely the same as \u003ci\u003eshooting\u003c\/i\u003e someone, ignoring or avoiding propagation of certain ideas is not precisely the same as outright censorship. Yet, the respective result of each \u003ci\u003eformer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003elatter\u003c\/i\u003e is the same: \u003ci\u003edeath\u003c\/i\u003e in the former, \u003ci\u003ecensoring\u003c\/i\u003e in the latter. One attack is physical, the other is intellectual; and each has the same effect: \u003ci\u003esilencing\u003c\/i\u003e. The lesson is clear: \u003ci\u003eideas deemed disruptive must be silenced\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented for the first time in English and republished for the first time in the postwar world is Alfred Baeumler's \u003ci\u003eNietzsche: Philosopher and Politician\u003c\/i\u003e (1931). Herein are ideas the postwar world meant to \u003ci\u003ekill\u003c\/i\u003e-because they are deemed \u003ci\u003edisagreeable\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003edangerous\u003c\/i\u003e. Dangerous to what? Dangerous to ideologies that intern and censor to death.
