Read most of the first volume of this a few years ago, I thought it was interesting although Theweleit very weirdly fails to mention the origin in the rabidly romanticist, nationalist intelligentsia of the German WWI shock troops and the later Freikorps companies that formed out of them, Ernst Junger being the most famous example, which could make many of their own writings very deliberate rather than passive confessions

I liked "Male Fantasies" but the pathology paradigm is kind of an inherently flawed approach to studying authoritarianism which reproduces the logics backing the eugenicist ideologies one is trying to criticize.
Theweleit shows that the Freikorps soldiers had PTSD and other problems but that still doesn't explain why the soldiers went Nazi and did not form socialist vegan communes instead. Basically, all Theweleit showed was the soldiers were fucked in the head.
