Akhenaten by Dominic Montserrat

The play ends with Zetut-Neferu-Aton being led off to her death, a martyr to the Atenist cause. She exits, shouting that Akhenaten would return and his teaching be vindicated, ‘never mind after how many ages’.

Devi obviously identified strongly with Zetut-Neferu-Aton, whose speeches in the play set the pattern for the rest of Devi’s own life. She became a tireless apologist for Hitler and Nazism, one of the first Holocaust deniers, and an important figure in forming the ideology of the neo-Nazi underground. Her Nazi agenda becomes explicit in her later writings on Akhenaten, in contrast to the rather discreet tone of A Son of God and the allegorical play. The dedication of her 1958 Akhenaten book, The Lightning and the Sun, is shocking:

To the god-like Individual of our times;

the man against Time;

the greatest European of all times;

both Sun and Lightning:

Adolf Hitler

as a tribute of unfailing love and loyalty, for ever and ever.
