"In the summer 1937 un Nazi Germany, Wolfgang Willrich, a member of the SS, lampooned expressionist poet Gottfried Benn in his book Säuberung des Kunsttempels. Heinrich Himmler, however, stepped in to reprimand Willrich and defended Benn on the grounds of his pro-Nazi record since 1933 (his earlier artistic output was dismissed as irrelevant)."--Sholem Stein
