This is worth reading. It bears certain similarities to Kafka's The Trial; the part of K being played in this instance being played by a 15 year old Austrian member of the Hitler Youth. Borrowing the title of Riefenstahl's propanganda film the book could credibly titled The Triumph of the Will. It is agonising in parts, suspenseful in others but I expect that you will enjoy it; if you are able to get a copy. A much pacier read that Lothar's better known Beneath Another Sun, with a much lighter touch.
