Nature, Environment, and Nation in the Third Reich, ed. by Franz-Josef Brüggemeier, Marc Cioc, and Thomas Zeller (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2005), 132–35; Gesine Gerhard, “Food as a Weapon: Agricultural Sciences and the Building of a Greater German Empire,” Food, Culture and Society 14, no. 3 (2011): 337–40.

35. Darré described this meeting at the architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg’s residence in Saaleck in a letter to his friend Georg Kenstler, the Artaman League leader. According to Darré, Hitler thought that he had not emphasized the “Jewish problem” enough in his writings. See Darré’s letter to Kenstler from April 25, 1930, in city archives in Goslar, personal collection Richard Walther Darré, vol. 94. Anna Bramwell used this alleged lack of anti-Semitism in Darré’s work as an argument to support her claim that Darré did not go along with the Nazis’ racial extermination policies. However, Darré himself said that Hitler was not well informed about his writings. In fact, Darré’s early writings are clearly anti-Semitic. See Anna Bramwell, Blood and Soil: Richard Walther Darré and Hitler’s “Green Party” (Abbotsbrook: Kensal Press, 1985). See also Gesine Ger-
